But not a lot of people know about its sister property, which is all about water-themed experiences. Just a short ride from Ocean Park is Water World, which opened right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the first all-weather, year-round seaside water park in Asia, with 27 indoor and outdoor offerings across five themed zones.This place has everything you can imagine: indoor and outdoor pools, raft rides, water slides of varying heights, a splash playground, and even a surfing simulator. A representative at Water World told ABS-CBN News that its most popular attractions are designed for thrill-seekers. At the top of the list is the Rainbow Rush, a 17-meter-tall, 8-lane racing water slide. Here, you get to lie on a mat and slide headfirst into a steep drop.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786533139997Rainbow Rush_4.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Race toward the finish line at Rainbow Rush. Handout</div>A close second is the Vortex, a multi-person raft ride that sweeps through an outdoor bowl before going down an enclosed tube and swinging up a halfpipe wall. It&#x27;s not for the faint of heart, but you&#x27;ll be rewarded with a lot of shared screams and laughs.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786533308061Vortex!_4.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Two to four people can ride the Vortex. Handout</div>If you&#x27;re feeling extra brave, try Water World&#x27;s trio of body slides. The Thunder Loop, Daredevil Drop, and Bravery Cliffs offer different kinds of fun (or fear, depending on your perspective), from crazy twists and turns to high-speed free-falls.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17865909466751 (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Can you handle the Daredevil Drop? Handout </div>For those who want to take it easy, there&#x27;s the aptly named Lazy Cruise where you can ride an inflatable tube along a man-made river, and the Horizon Cove which brings the ocean indoors. You can also bask in the sun at Big Wave Bay, with its panoramic views of Hong Kong&#x27;s southern shoreline. Cap off your visit by refueling at Water World&#x27;s four dining outlets, which serve both local and international flavors in a fast food setting.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786535029070Horizon Cove_3.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Horizon Cove gives a beach experience without having to go outdoors. Handout</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786535272069Lazy Cruise_4.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Lazy Cruise takes guests on a journey through four themed zones, including an ice cavern. Handout</div>If you&#x27;re looking for a splash-filled adventure and some family or barkada fun, Water World is a nice stop to add to your Hong Kong itinerary. Prices start at HKD 272 (around P2,100) for an adult weekday ticket, with the option of add-ons such as the use of lockers and priority passes for select attractions.
