Location & Transport

Magic Castle is nestled in the heart of OCT Joy Coast, Shenzhen’s premier theme park. To get there, hop on Metro Line 1 and alight at OCT Station—it’s a 10-minute walk from the exit. Driving? Punch Qiaocheng West Street, Nanshan District into your GPS. The park even has its own parking lot if you’re traveling by car. Bonus: It’s surrounded by green hills, so you’ll feel like you’re escaping the city chaos!

Whimsical Themes & Storylines

Step into Magic Castle, and you’ll enter a world where anything could happen. This isn’t just a playground—it’s China’s only fantasy-themed family乐园 (family park) and Asia’s first magic-focused space. Every corner buzzes with enchantment, from talking statues to glowing mushrooms. Follow the adventures of Huanhuan and Lele, two adorable fairytale ant精灵 (elf creatures), as they guide you through realms of wonder. Think Harry Potter meets Disney… but with a Chinese twist!

Rides & Activities for All Ages

Magic Castle packs over 20 kid-friendly attractions that’ll make your head spin. Little ones can chase bubbles in the Bubble Lab or steer mini cars in the Ant Kingdom Raceway. Thrill-seekers? Try the Flying Carpet ride, which lifts you high while spinning like a whirligig. My favorite? The Mirror Maze—losing yourself in endless reflections is both trippy and hilarious. Pro tip: Arrive early to skip long lines for the 4D Magic Show, where chairs rumble and splash water during the film!

Interactive Magic Tricks

What makes Magic Castle special? The interactive magic! Kids can wave wands to cast spells in the Wizard Academy or dance with animated characters in the Light Parade. Even adults will crack smiles watching broomsticks fly “on their own” or flowers bloom at a whisper. Don’t miss the Secret Garden, where touch-sensitive flowers light up like Christmas trees. It’s like stepping into a living fairy tale!

Dining & Rest Areas

After all that energy, refuel at Hualien Restaurant, a castle-themed eatery serving noodles, dumplings, and ice cream. Parents love the shaded picnic zones too—perfect for unpacking snacks while kids crawl through the Giant Anime-Style Treehouse. Pro hack: Rent a locker (¥20/hour) near the entrance to stash bags while you play.

Nighttime Spectacular

When sunset paints the sky, Magic Castle transforms. Lanterns flicker like fireflies, and the castle glows neon purple. The Night Carnival kicks off with laser shows, fire-breathing sculptures, and a finale where Huanhuan and Lele zip across the sky on wires. It’s pure movie magic—bring your phone for epic photos!
