The aquariums and the shows were the best part of visiting Manila Ocean Park. There was a wide collection of fish that seemed to be healthy. All the aquariums were clean and appeared to be properly maintained. Albeit some of them seem cramp, as I saw a few of the bigger fish swimming in fast circles around the perimeter of the aquarium. There was an owl in the Creepy Crawlies section that had a too small enclosure. It made me and my companion sad to see it in those conditions. The reptiles and arachnids also had small terariums. We sped through Creepy Crawlies because the animals looked sad in their too small spaces. They look weird, sure, but they're still animals! The show was entertaining. The birds only did 1-3 tricks each, but if you sit in the proper spot (leftside of the bleachers if facing the stage) then you can get the experience of the birds flying close to you. The sea lions were wonderfully trained, showing off dancing, swimming and retrieving balls during their part of the show. The trainers were also pretty good. I've been wanting to visit Manila Ocean Park since moving to Manila, but I was deterred by the price, the distance and the crowds. I would say it was nice as a novel experience. During my visit, it was Holy Week. There was a lot of people there. Mostly, the guest behaved orderly so it wasn't an issue. If there were rowdy people though, it would have potentially been problematic because most of the rooms didn't have an usher, a guard or a staff member to intervene.

Horrible place. You will get charged 750P even for a 14 month old child who has no idea what a fish is. A 2-foot rule for full price ticket is utterly ridiculous and unfair. Obviously, it should be done on age. Could be so much better. Should be when charging everyone for everything - including parking?! Awful for the price. Some animals are clearly ill. Some attractions closed. Some far too crowded to even consider entering. ALL underwhelming. Dangerously dark in numerous rooms. Christmas in July, $$$ for a photo with Santa during his holiday? It is insanely overcrowded. The Jungle Area queue was far too long to bother waiting with a baby, so we didn't go their either. Bird show very poor, also outside and not covered from rain. You will get wet, even under the shelter. Apparently, the sea lion show was the highlight, but by which time, I had turned into an aircraft spotter, as the bird show, and getting soaked, made me totally lose interest. Not to mention my full, adult priced baby, having fallen asleep less than halfway through. Tourist trap - Avoid. Really, really bad - worst money ever spent. I have never been to such an expensive disappointment in memory. #NeverSeeYouAgain #Nasty #PoorAnimals

5/8/23 680 pesos per ticket for an all day pass if you bought the tickets in advance. 750 pesos per ticket if you walk in. Only 8 attractions are open and only two are worth it. 📍Oceanarium - 8/10 their obvious bread and butter. Offers greats variety of fishes and interesting aquariums. 📍Trails to Antarctica - 2/10 glass on the penguin show is too blurry to get a good picture outside. You have to pay for close up photos. Penguins look tired too. Christmas Village is meh. We didn't even take photos here. 📍 Jellies Dancing Fairies - 5/10 the lights, the song, and the glow in the dark mural was a great touch, but only has one specie of jellyfish. 📍Super Toy Collection - 5/10 another meh. Only great for taking pictures with kids and if you love superman. Otherwise, it's dull. 📍World of Creepy Crawlies - 8/10 offers great variety of snakes, tarantulas and geckos. Even has different kinds of cockroaches. 📍 All Star Bird Show - 6/10 it was windy which causes some birds to be confused. The white cockatoo was visibly tired. 📍 Sea Lion Show - 9/10 the sea lions Isis and Aira looked so enthusiastic in front of crowds and they obviously love their trainers. They were a delight and the best part of the show.

My visit to Manila Ocean Park was a truly captivating experience. The marine diversity showcased here is impressive, offering a unique and educational journey for visitors of all ages. The well-designed exhibits, featuring vibrant coral reefs and a diverse array of marine life, made for an immersive and visually stunning adventure. The highlight for me was the mesmerizing Oceanarium, where the transparent tunnel provided an up-close encounter with sharks, rays, and a myriad of fish species. The well-curated shows and interactive displays added an educational dimension to the visit, making it both entertaining and informative. The park's commitment to conservation and awareness was evident throughout, enhancing the overall experience. The well-maintained facilities and friendly staff contributed to a positive atmosphere, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable visit. In conclusion, Manila Ocean Park offers a fantastic blend of entertainment, education, and marine conservation. It's a must-visit destination that allows you to appreciate the wonders of the ocean in a well-crafted and engaging manner.
