That's the reason I moved from Germany 🇩🇪 to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 33 years ago. I can travel everywhere from Hong Kong easily, live a local life in the country side of Hong Kong and enjoy my life here peacefully! 🕊️ ✌️😉
So glad you got to see the park. I was so worried that the park won't reopen before you leave. One thing I really admire about you guys is you all stayed so positive throughout the whole thing, even though things didn't go according to plan. The parents didn't get annoyed, and the kids didn't throw any tantrums. I've watched all of your HK videos, and your kids are so well behaved and well mannered, always cool to go with the flow, never complain (or maybe those moments aren't included in the videos?😅). You're raising them well, and I'm sure they will grow up to be well-adjusted adults 👍 @22:30 such a sweet moment when your kids waved to the child on the bridge who just shot them with the water cannon 😂
I’m so sorry for your experience with the typhoon and the ocean park. I laughed my head off when you said you went into the ocean park instead of the waterworld. 😂 but your family attitude is really great! You are great parents!
I always prefer the more raw videos (without many editing) but this one is definitely still fun to watch. Great job, John! It's also nice to see you guys still enjoying your time despite all the typhoon and the confusion about the waterpark 😄
I thought this video was of great quality. It all comes down to perception Im a big fan of bagspackedfamily following also on FB I don't use insta just my personal preference but I always love like and comment on your FB.
I came across your channel last week because I was missing HK. You and your family are such a delight and I always find myself smiling watching your videos. Shame about the Typhoon but pleased you got to go back to the park, loved that place so much as a kid. Can't wait for the next one!
Your kids are so lovely! What a lovely family you have! I enjoy watching all your videos mate, so real and so touching, very well done, and you are a great Dad and husband!
So glad to see another HK vlog! Sorry for the typhoon! We watched your video like watching a suspense-will the typhoon go away? Will they get to go to the park?? LOL! I am so glad Cedar and Granite got to ride and that they wanted to do it again! Hope Kelly got to ride too! Thanks for staying positive despite the big disappointment ( I would)! Kudos to Granite and Cedar! 👍
so I'm half way through the video and as I'm commenting you found the water park section 😂 but Ocean Park itself is a competent competitor of Disneyland HK, founded as a Ocean conservatory focused theme park, aimed at educating the local population about the ocean and all its wonders, hence the aquarium and ocean theatre. They pivoted into a SeaWorld/Six Flags mix park, adding the highlands back around the 90s. The water world part is a recent addition, and usually operates as a separate entity needing its own tickets. Hope you guys had fun anyways and visit again when the kids are old enough for more rides ☺️ (P. s. Ocean Park hosts an annual Halloween themed special events with extra haunted bits scattered throughout the park, definitely could be something to potentially time a trip for)
Water World with all the water slides etc is indeed under the Ocean Park umbrella name however it has a completely different entrance and you need to buy a separate entry ticket for it from the Ocean Park complex that you guys were at. Essentially, Water World is (for want of a better expression) "next door". It's kinda like Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. Two completely different parks but within the same area.
I’m from Hong Kong and I’m happy to see your family have had a great time there! Your kids are very smart and sweet 😍 I enjoy watching your family having fun and exploring places, keep it up 💪🏻
High quality video 10-10. I really appreciate you all 💕. Thank you for bringing us on your adventures. Glad you all safe sending positive vibes, blessings and love. I didn't notice any problem with sound there's really no perfect way to avoid that in typhoon season it's windy.
the kids squealing about the devices (“poor ipads!” Hahahaha) and forest screaming “no more shower for me because i already take mine!!!” 😂😂 always a joy to watch
Hey guys and gals!! What a beautiful place to visit. I felt the same here as you with all the rain. It’s been raining here for dayssss! Take care. Safe travels friends! ❤️.
All of you are having lots of fun everyday. But its seems like even I am a part of your family going around with you guys because your videos are enjoyable and great. I might want to see you guys once.
Just want to say we love your content and we have it on the TV all the time. First came across your channel when we were searching for more HK food videos. My 2.5 year old son only wants to watch your videos now. I think it's because we can all relate to your experiences.
Ocean park is an amusement park which you can see different animals and sea animals, many exciting amusement rides. I think you missed to visit Panda Pavilion and Aquarium which is amazing. The water park is on the other side. And you need to buy another tickets. I think the hotel package is either choose ocean park or water park. But I like ocean park more than water park. Because the water park is very small.
@@BagsPackedFamily Hope you guys also plan to visit the Water World! It is in fact a very recent addition to the Ocean Park campus, completed and opened during the pandemic.
Oh no i see where the misunderstanding could come from but ocean park is definitely not a water park haha! The kids would love it if they come back when they’re older. It’s a huge amusement park too
Growing up in Hong Kong, WaterWorld was my favourrite. Ocean Park being the second. I have a collection of Ocean Park whale and penguin stuffies on my bed still. I miss Ocean Park
I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with ur family at the ocean park and as a Hong Konger I miss that place you guys should also go to Disneyland and the AIA carnival in central too is fun ngl
It's the first time I watch your exploring tour in [RUclips]. Maybe, we could meet somewhere in the coming future, if you'll still stay here for a long period...
If you do go back, you must take the gondolas instead of the ocean express. It will give you a breathtaking view of the Southside of Hong Kong island! And it was the original way to travel between the entrance and “the summit”. There are also a few more aquarium up there near the rides and one was the old grand aquarium turned sharks encounters and they themed it to the Tai O fishing village(also a must see in Hong Kong imo!) and is quite awesome!
It’s a bummer that you guys didn’t get to experience the water slides part of the park. It’s relatively new and would have been so much fun for the kids. Hope you and your family will get to visit again soon!
Your video is very funny😁, I’m from Hong Kong.Ocean park is different from Water park, the Ocean park is the theme park of Aquarium and other Amusement rides. Anyway, I hope your family and you can enjoy those parks 👍🏼
WOW Lovely Noodles- HONG KONG Ramen.. Yum.. nice... My Favorite MEE GORENG had lots in Melbourne.. I LOVE SHIN RAMYUN KOrean Noodles... RED COLOUR BOX from South Korea.. DO TRY IT...

The worst part to visit Hong Kong in Summer , the heat, the moist and typhoon. Typhoon in Hong Kong can last for a couple of days, and everything stop when signal no,8 or higher hoist.
Water World and Ocean Park are different parks. Water World is next to Fullerton Hotel and Ocean Park is next to Marriott Hotel. Unfortunately you went to the wrong Park but OP is also fun
We are grandparents and love watching your travels.Without sounding rude, where exactly is home base? Indonesia or Alaska? Again, what do you both teach? Its great seeing Kelly being vegetarian. We wonder if one of the kids will be as they age! They are delightful to watch, so well behaved (I am sure though there are times off camera its different..ha ha).
Thank you so much! Yes, we bought a house in Alaska a year ago last December, but live full time in West Papua, Indonesia where we work as teachers at a small private school. The plan is to eventually make Alaska our full time home. :-)
Hi, first of all great video, we thinking of going back to hk in may and ocean park is on our to do list. I just want to ask, we are a family of five and is thinking of staying in the same hotel next to ocean park. The problem is on the hotel web site ,the max is 4. How did you guys get around this, we on a budget and dont fancy booking two rooms. Any help appreciatef
May I know when this video was taken ? Like when did your family visit Hong Kong and also encounter typhoon ? I felt sorry for your unexpected situation.

Welcome to Hong Kong and very glad to see your’s family enjoyed in Ocean Park.
Great attitude. very positive. making the best out of it. Not gonna lie, if it's my kids, they would be complaining all day already lol
Great video! Forrest is too cute. All your kids are awesome but Forrest is that super adorable stage😊

After a week''s wait enjoyed your video. So happy to see your children enjoying. Forest cutie as always.

went to OP during typhoonn last year.The rides were off but that fine red panda made my day
1:04 The funniest part of this video! Well done for being good parents. Hope families in Indonesia see the difference in you all.
Too bad for the weather. But the room is massive for Hong Kong. Luckily you manage to enjoy it on your last day there. At least not so wasted
Oh wow I gave your guys a ten on parenting kids on the run. Thanks for sharing a wonderful journey.

Welcome to Hong Kong 🎉🎉 i am your hong kong fans😂
Go to dufan and ancol in jakarta .. Since now not a holiday season anymore so could be not crowded
Disneyland would be a good choice for the kids more kids friendly rides and themes
Ocean Park has two parts - the Ocean Park and the Water World. The Water World has a separate entry system.
