Take the VIP gondola when you can! When you're not dining, shopping or watching a movie at MOA, you can always try the rides at SM by the bay. As a boring and non-thrill seeking person, the only ride I agreed to take was the ferris wheel or MOA eye. We made our way to MOA eye going through the southern end of the mall, near the department store. If you follow the directional guides to S Maison, you should be able to get to the wheel faster as it is situated close to Conrad. Ticket prices are usually 150 Pesos but they have a VIP gondola at 200 each. I was feeling extra that day so I decided to get the VIP gondola. I didn't know what made the VIP gondolas special so the kind lady at the booth told me it had glass at the bottom. The wheel didn't look that tall so I didn't mind. Getting into the gondolas was, tricky. It didnt really stop for you to get on it so you have to catch it the moment its close on the platform. You have to be quick with it. You can see that the wheel is not new. It is an old wheel and even has separate AC units for each gondola. The glass are smudged scratched and wasn't as clear. I know that this wheel was not brand new when it opened to public so I expected those. While we were starting at the low levels I looked at the glass bottom and realized Im scared of heights. I Sstarted getting stressed wach time I got a glimpse pf the bottom when we were starting to get higher as you get unobstructed view below but as we got near to the top and started seeing parts of the wheel I felt some relief and got to appreciate the expansive views around the bay area and some of the towering skyscrapers of the Makati CBD and Manila CBD. The ride was quick and riding the VIP gondola made it even quicker for me with the good amount of stress it brought to me so if you get the chance, get the VIP gondola. Its always fun having someone panic while riding a ferris wheel even if its perfectly safe and not that tall.

My recent visit to the SM MOA Eye was nothing short of spectacular! This iconic Ferris wheel at the Mall of Asia complex in Manila promises an unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views of Manila Bay and the cityscape are truly mesmerizing, especially during the golden hues of sunset. The cabins are spacious, clean, and equipped with large windows, allowing you to capture every moment of the panoramic scenery. The ride itself is smooth and offers a perfect balance of excitement and relaxation. I appreciated the comfortable seating and the opportunity to take in the city from a unique vantage point. The staff at SM MOA Eye deserves commendation for their professionalism and friendliness. They efficiently manage the boarding process, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. What sets the SM MOA Eye apart is its ability to cater to different preferences. Whether you're seeking a romantic evening with a loved one or a thrilling adventure with friends, the Ferris wheel provides an ideal setting for diverse occasions. The inclusion of informative panels within the cabins, highlighting key landmarks and points of interest, adds an educational touch to the ride. It's a nice touch for both locals and tourists wanting to learn more about Manila's rich history. Overall, the SM MOA Eye is a gem in Manila's entertainment scene. It seamlessly combines stunning views, comfort, and a touch of adventure, making it a must-visit attraction. I highly recommend experiencing this iconic Ferris wheel to elevate your Manila visit. 🎡🌅 #SMMOAEye #ManilaSunset #IconicExperience

The SM MOA Eye is an impressive attraction that offers a memorable experience for visitors. As someone who has been to the SM MOA Eye, I must say that it's an incredible ride that everyone should try at least once. One of the things I love about the SM MOA Eye is that the interior of each cabin is air-conditioned, providing a cool and comfortable ride even on hot days. This is a great feature that makes the experience more enjoyable, especially during the summer months when the heat can be overwhelming. Another thing that makes the SM MOA Eye a must-visit attraction is the breathtaking views of Manila Bay. From the top of the Ferris wheel, you can see the stunning city skyline and the beautiful blue waters of Manila Bay. The view is truly amazing, and it's an excellent opportunity for visitors to take photos and capture memories that will last a lifetime. Lastly, I appreciate that each cabin can accommodate up to four people, making it a great activity to enjoy with friends or family. It's a fun and unique way to spend time together, taking in the beautiful views of Manila Bay and the surrounding areas. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the SM MOA Eye. The air-conditioned cabins, stunning views, and ability to accommodate up to four people make it an excellent attraction that is well worth the visit.

Parking is 'pay as you enter', one way, and if you reach the end exit and haven't parked yet for some reason, there's no way but to go out, and your P50 is gone. Payment should be made upon exit, with a grace period. The system is very not right. So, on a busy hour, the tendency of some drivers is to wait in hazard inside, which causes so much traffic inside. I understand sometimes security puts up the "full parking' sign; that's good, but the system is still improper. Once it's full parking, security lets all the cued vehicles who waited for a very long time to go away (maybe they don't want to see long cues on Seaside Boulevard, why wouldn't they just allow vehicles to wait in cue), and then seconds after when there’s a slot already and allow entry, it makes the vehicles who waited in line but went away go to waste and have a 1-km long drive just to have a u-turn just to go back again and try. why can't they just connect the two parking areas, put a Slot Monitoring screen at the entrance, payment at the exit with grace period and just allow cues at curbside.

Picturesque, perfect hangout and walking spot. It was really hot when we went there (though I've also went there already at around 6 pm for the sunset and it was crowded) so reasonable that we have almost the whole place to ourselves. We bought the VIP ticket straight on and then only when we rode we discovered that the only difference was the floor was glass (which was eh, not really worth the 50 pesos LOL and funnier because we didn't want the floor to be transparent.) Still, nice ride, I barely felt the direct heat of the sun despite it being nicely above us. Perfect view, kinda bitin but whtever. Also, just the Eye itself is a pretty thing to look at, even without riding. It's also a nice place for pictures. I wish the glass on the sides were as transparent as the back and floor though. Also for all the glass to be always cleaned (otherwise the experience wouldn't really be good). some of those i see were dirty and not as easy to look at, and since we had the VIP one, it was a bit cleaner.

For 150 pesos. You get a regular cab. For 200 pesos. You get a special cab with glass floors. It's a nice experience however you can only ride it once as it continuously turns. So you'll only go up once and then come down, the end. It's really a short ride. Also it's covered in acrylic panels maybe to secure it so no one will jump off it. But I kinda don't like the air-conditioning hanging on its side. It's good that it's cold inside but it's kinda ruining the whole experience. Compared to the ferris wheel in EK, that one is open air and you'll have a live view of the surroundings. I mean I get that it's for safety coz it really is big and it can go really really high. But you can't really enjoy it to the full. Check out other rides. It's a better experience.
