Last year when Ocean Park presented its revolutionary all-day-and-night Halloween Fest, it was tremendously well received and this year, Hong Kong’s iconic theme park returns with a new breakthrough by transforming itself into a horror film studio featuring nine unique experiences at seven haunted attractions. For the price of one ticket, you’ll be treated to all things fun and scary!
For the first time, guests would be required to complete a series of tasks within a locked chamber, challenging the limits of their senses and their innermost fears in the ultimate haunted attraction. One can also experience Asia’s first Doraemon-themed Halloween party and for the first time this year, Ocean Park will introduce two Transforming Attractions, great for the entire family until 5pm on each event day before transforming into the most frightful haunted zones when the sun sets. Be sure to document your expressions of horror with a selfie video camera that’s available for rent.
Check out what Ocean Park has to offer this Halloween:
1. Revolutionary Format to Meet the Needs of Different Guests
With so many attractions to choose from, there’s something for everyone at Ocean Park this Halloween. The attractions have different scare levels so you know how creepy it gets before deciding to participate!
2. First-ever Reservation-only Limited-admission Haunted Attraction
For the first time ever, Ocean park’s Halloween fest will feature a reservation-only limited-admission attraction – H14 presented by Modern Education. Restricted to patrons 16 or above, those who want to take part in this haunted attraction will be required to register online in advance. The first round of online registration will take place on 29 August and 3 & 5 September, with only 1,000 time-slots available on each registration day.

3. Local Elements Make for More Personal Frights
Ocean Park has teamed up with the film maker of horror flick Rigor Mortis to bring guests a terrifying experience unlike any other. You’ll be spooked for sure!
4. Doraemon for Comic Fans and Kids
Not everything is super scary in Ocean Park. Those who are not up for scares can thank their lucky stars for the Doraemon Halloween Party, a Doraemon-themed Halloween attraction that families with kids will enjoy! The comic’s iconic House of Gadgets featuring Doaremon’s favourite “Time Machine” and “Anywhere Door” are a must!
5. Make the Most Out of Your Visit at the “Transforming Attractions”
Introduced for the first time this year, “Transforming Attractions” offers guests different experiences during their visit. At 5pm on each event day, the music and lighting at Ocean Park will change, marking the start of the frightful evening. After sunset ghouls will also make an appearance to up the spook factor. Over a thousand talents were hired to make this event a success where they will be performing in shifts.
Be sure to check out the Eerie Nippon Journey, which is designed based on an Edo-period Japanese garden and features adorable ghost characters such as funny kappa (river child), hitotsume-kozo (one-eyed kid) and more. For those looking for Intense Scares for the Brave, visit the Chinese Mad-icine Hall presented by Age of Three Kingdoms, where guests may fall prey to the evil experiments of a mad doctor.
6. Glorious Return of Popular Halloween Shows
Those who are frequent visitors of Ocean Park during Halloween should be well acquainted with the park’s Spooky Shows, a popular with guests of all ages. Back by popular demand this year is Scaremonies presented by Blue Girl Beer where it will be staged in a newly-constructed indoor arena.
7. Save Queue Time with Schedule Pass App
