Closure of "North Pole Encounter" for Renovation Ocean Park will redevelop its North Pole Encounter into a brand-new marine mammal conservation centre. To facilitate this renovation, North Pole Encounter has closed its doors to the public, with the grand reopening of the new marine mammal conservation centre slated for the first quarter of 2027. During this period, visitors are invited to explore other exhibits in the Park and visit its wide range of animal ambassadors, with seals and sea lions waiting for all at the Pacific Pier.

At 3.6m long and weighing over a tonne, the exhibit’s two pacific walruses are as big in personality as they are in size. This area evokes the sounds, smells and sights of walruses and silvery spotted seals' northerly habitat. Guests will be able to view them from above as well as below the ice.


Remarks:

To keep our polar animals comfortable, the Polar Adventure will be kept at relatively low temperatures throughout the year (South Pole Spectacular at 8-10°C, North Pole Encounter at 15-17°C).
