О нас
The story of Qingdao Polar Ocean World — a national AAAA-level polar ocean theme park between Fushan Mountain and the Yellow Sea.
Who we are
A Polar World on the Shores of Qingdao
Qingdao Polar Ocean World (海合安青岛极地海洋公园) is a national AAAA-level attraction located at No. 60 Donghai East Road, in the heart of the coastal tourism belt of Laoshan District. Facing the Yellow Sea and backed by Fushan Mountain, the park is surrounded by water on three sides and sits just steps away from the Qingdao Sculpture Park, Shilaoren Beach and Xiaomaidao Park — one of the most beautiful corners of the city, with convenient transportation from downtown Qingdao.
The park brings together five theme venues — the Polar Oceanarium, Horizon Theater, Deep Sea Fantasy · Jellyfish Secret Realm, Polar Legend · Ice & Snow Experience Hall and the 360° Dome Theater — around the central Whale Joy Square. Together they form a unique "ocean fun cube" in Shandong Province, where marine displays, cultural and tourism experiences, science education and animal conservation meet in one place.
Every element of the park is built around a single promise: to bring the polar regions and the deep ocean to Qingdao's shoreline, so that every visitor can "travel through the North and South Poles in one day" and leave with thousands of surprises — and a deeper love for the ocean.

Our mission
Four Pillars Behind the Park
Qingdao Polar Ocean World is more than an aquarium — it is a polar ocean theme park built on four missions.
Tourism Experience
Six daily shows, seven photo check-in areas, seasonal events and family services turn a visit into a full day of memories by the sea.
Science Education
The Science Magic Show, docent talks and hands-on exhibits help students learn while they travel — combining education with entertainment.
Animal Conservation
Professional animal care and conservation messaging protect the animals in our charge and inspire visitors to care for the ocean.

- Backed by Fushan Mountain — city and coast at once, in the core coastal tourism belt of Laoshan District.
- Great neighbors — the Qingdao Sculpture Park, Shilaoren Beach and Xiaomaidao Park are all nearby.

Our promise
Caring for Animals, Inspiring Visitors
Behind every show and every exhibit stands a professional team of keepers, veterinarians and educators. Animals receive daily care and enrichment designed around their natural behaviors, and the park's breeding and conservation programs help protect species whose wild homes are under pressure. When you watch a beluga dance with its keeper or a penguin paddle past the glass, you are seeing the result of that daily work.
We also believe a visit should teach something that lasts. Interpretive signage, feeding demonstrations and the Science Magic Show turn curiosity into knowledge, showing guests of all ages why the polar regions matter and how small everyday choices can help the ocean. That is the "whale-sized" wonder we want every guest to take home: the joy of meeting the polar world, and the responsibility we all share for it.
