Theme Parks

There are several theme parks in Macau providing wholesome entertainment for families. The rides at these parks are great fun for kids and adults alike, who can enjoy people-watching, the pleasant weather and some of the tasty treats that are on offer. Fisherman’s Wharf Amusement Park and its Legend Wharf Theme Park draw the largest crowds.

The tourism industry in macau entered a new milestone as the much awaited Macau Fisherman’s Wharf (MFW), the city’s first theme park, opened to the public on the last day of 2005 and ushered in the new year with a “countdown to 2006” affair. The area, covering 93,000 sq. metres, houses convention and exhibition facilities, entertainment, retail, food and beverage outlets, a hotel and a yacht club. The complex includes over 150 stores and restaurants in buildings built in the style of different world seaports such as Cape Town, Amsterdam and Venice, six rides, a slots hall, a 72-room hotel, and a casino.

You'll also find two more Theme Parks near by at Hong Kong. The first is Hong Kong Disneyland, but it seems to lack in attractions and rides and feels still like a work in progress. If you have young kids 5-9, the park probably has plenty to keep them occupied. Prices are still steep for what the park offers. Probably a better choice would be to check out Hong Kong's second theme park the Hong Kong Ocean Park. If you're looking for a place to take the kids, or to unleash the kid in you, Hong Kong Ocean Park is a must. With gut-wrenching rides, magical animals and spectacular views, Hong Kong Ocean Park can deliver something for everyone. The park aims to combine education with entertainment, and does it very well. The park is packed with creatures from the deep sea including roller coasters and everything to keep even the thrill seekers happy.
