Ocean Park

We went to the Ocean Park on 7/3/08. The last visit of the Ocean Park was on about two years ago. I found the games in the park are much more and excited than before.
What I enjoyed the most was the game stalls which we need to pay $20, I pay $20 to play too. Why I enjoyed the game stalls most? I enjoyed the game stalls most because we had not enough time to play the most exciting game and can only played the game stalls.
I enjoyed the day very much but I think the time at the Ocean Park can be much longer. Although
we went to Ocean Park is for learning but the main reason to go to the Ocean Park is playing so I think the time at the Ocean Park can be much longer
