Good way for the kids to enjoy marine life. The entrance per attraction is pricey but they offer package deals which are really helpful for us who are tight in budget.

The park is small compared to HK ocean park, and i think the entrance fee if you will buy it directly to them is not worth it. Oceanarium alone will cost you 400 which will take you 30 minutes to finish. If you will buy all shows, it will cost you around 2000 php. The good thing about this is... More

Manila Ocean Park has been true to its statement that it offers Exciting, Enticing and Enriching experience. I love their fireworks show though it isn't that great and spectacular. This experience helps me to be more tuned in to our environment specially now we are experiencing climate change. It makes me appreciate more the wonders that He created above and... More

Its my kids first time in Manila Ocean Park and we had a grand time but the other shows are more impressive than the aquarium which is the main attraction. They add a lot of extra shows but the kids are not secured. A lot of visitors are there but not enough security. The staff are not helpful and you... More

When I have foreign colleagues visiting Manila for a limited time, one of the places I usually take them is the Manila Ocean Park, it's oceanarium, the extensive collection of jelly fishes and the sea lion show. Although nothing fancy when compared to oceanarium I've been in UK and Australia, the Manila Ocean Park is still something to see when... More

This is the 2nd oceanarium in the Philippines but 1st in Manila. My recent visit was December 2011 and my first time to pay as guest. Been to this place several times and was surprise that it improved a lot since my first visit way back July 2009. I able to experience some of the activities they offer like aquanaut... More

On our last day of a three week trip to the Philippines for snorkeling, we wanted to check out the Aquarium. First cab driver said he knew where it was but did not and took us in opposit direction finally dumping us at the Museum instead. (We should have stayed there and learned what they had to offer!!) Fortunately the... More

it was pretty hot inside and they don't control the number of guests in each attraction. End up lining up for almost an hour to get inside the Penguin exhibit/Snow Village, i was disappointed to say the least. It's just like going inside Star City's, only difference is the penguin. Guests can skip this part. Jellies were ok though most... More

Whilst planning my trip to Manila, I got quite excited when I looked through the Manila Ocean Park website. I made sure that this place became a part of my itinerary. I was even looking forward to doing the Aquanaut Voyage with my cousin. My cousin, upon arrival, was surprised to see they charged for the different attractions separately as... More
