Finally visited the famous Forest Ocean Park on October 4th, and here are my impressions.
First, the park entrance is very inconvenient for individual visitors. You have to walk through parking lots P1, P2, and P3, which is quite a distance.
Forest Ocean Park: Very child-friendly, you can play all day, especially on the more thrilling rides like roller coasters and drop towers. Kids over one meter tall can ride, and they had a great time. However, the queues for the rides are quite long, and the displayed queue times are inaccurate. For example, I personally experienced a 30-minute wait, while the displayed wait time was 1 hour. The rides are most crowded in the morning and afternoon; try going during mealtimes or in the evening when it's less crowded. If you don't want to ride the rides, you can play in the sand, in the ball pit, etc. There's definitely something suitable for children.
Water Park: I really have to complain about this:
1. The indoor water park was incredibly dirty. There are toilets indoors, and many people went in barefoot or left their swimming rings on the toilet floor before going into the pool. 1. There are no foot-washing basins before entering the swimming pools and hot spring pools, so you just play around, which is a complete test of your skin's resistance.
2. The entire park is so big, but there are only shower and changing areas at the entrance. If you want to change halfway through the park, there's nowhere to do so. You can only walk around wrapped in a towel, drying yourself or in the wind, and then eat in your wet swimsuit. Couldn't they have provided more changing areas? Honestly, it's better to go to a hot spring hotel with a water park; at least they provide hot tea and hot towels.
However, to be fair, the beach pool is quite fun, and there are lifeguards everywhere in the park who are quite professional. I sincerely recommend going to the outdoor pool; forget about the indoor ones.
