The initiative was taken on the occasion of the Park’s 45th annual anniversary. The company aims to create groundbreaking digital entertainment experiences for its consumers.
Ocean Park is a globally recognized and popular home-grown theme park. It attracts tons of tourists every year from all over the world. However, with its recent move, Ocean Park has shown that it is all set to mark an entry into the world of Metaverse. The park has partnered with the leader of the decentralized gaming virtual world, the Sandbox, which is also a subsidiary of Animoca Brands.
