Manila Ocean Park Reviews

Celebrate a lot of fish ... though not as much as in East Java Park 2 (Batu Secreet Zoo)

Poor Airconditioning and Poor Signage for the diff Attractions.

Don't expect too much from Hotel H2O's free buffet.

Nice theme park in Manila.Primarily focus is marine life but there are sections for birds and reptiles as well.Park is huge and can spend an entire day in it.It has diving facility in thw aquarium for an additional fee.There are restaurants,gift shops as well.Overall a nice experience.

With their new promotion, affordable entrance fee for every Juan and tourist visiting Manila. The sea lion show is one of the most interesting part. My niece and nephew had also so much fun looking at different types of fish so close. They even had a chance to touch the manta ray at the touch pool.

For those who have children, this is the place to go. If you dont, but still like or enjoy ocean animals this is your place.

manila ocean park is located in front of Luneta park. it has many attractions. sharks,creepy crawlers, penguins, sea lion show and etc.it also has food stalls and shops for souvenirs.

Nice place to see creatures of the sea with some reptiles and amphibians too. Great for students educational tours and family outings with younger kids!

Beautiful park, well laid out truly s hidden treasures. I have been a couple of times and enjoyed all the trips

Great place to go as a family. Many areas to explore.

Better to start your tour late in the morn. 2 hrs is not enough even for the Ocean Saver tour pkg

They need to provide a map for the activities they offer. For those who are not from Manila, it is difficult to find where are the paid activities are. There are indoors and outdoors activities. They should also update their website on what to expect in each activities. Describe each if there are new, needs time to explore the whereabouts. The map must be so helpful.

P995/person for Marine Voyager (15 attractions)

5 stars all around and 5000 stars for the emphasis on environmental stewardship in the exhibits. Keep up the good work!

They have added many other attractions now
I have visited this place years ago when they only have the aquariums. Now they have birds attractions, insects and toys. They also have good restaurants inside. Parking is okay but quite expensive.

The place is so amazing for family bondings and also with friends!

went there with my family during my birthday month so my ticket was free. my parents who were seniors also got discounts on their passes. the place in itself is well maintained. kaya lang nirerenovate yuung ibang attractions when we were there.. hope to come back soon and enjoy more of what Ocean Park has to offer

The place is lucking directions, it's not good as it used to be. Hope they pay more attention on maintaining the establishment. No wonder they got promo stuff because the place is run down.

It's not a big aquarium. I think it will be fun if you go without expectation. There were some fish I didn't see at COEX Aquarium and it was fun.

I Loved it with fishes, Sharks, and stingrays and More!

This place is geared more towards kids than adults. I just refused to watch a seal show under the heat of sun in the bleachers crowded with students. The only interesting part was the Penguin show which the ticket that we bought did not include, other than that the place is boring, old and meh.

Vary great place if you want to discover more about sea creatures

For a first timer goer in the MOP, I find it the best

Not a bad place to visit, but it feels like a mall than an ocean adventure park. The tickets are expensive and not worth it. I hope they try to be in level with Ocean Park Hong Kong.

Last time I went here, it was too crowded. And the entrance fee is expensive.

We have a 5 year old daughter and we had a great time. Love swimming with the stingrays

Awesome place for family and friends. I absolutely loved the fish spa. I'll definitely go back to try the other attractions next time.

If there is a negative zero rating i would LOVE to rate this place with that, I wont go back to this place even with a free entrance, WASTE OF TIME.

1. unorganized flow of events
2. hidden charges of shows
3. poor cleanliness
4. exhorbitant entrance fee

Just for those that never went to other ocean parks in other countries

Not as great as it used to be. Now, it's in a very sad state. The entire place looks old and not very well maintained, the attractions like the shark and ray encounter and the birdhouse are dull, short, and empty. The place isn't lighted very well, several sections are closed off, you can see maintenance equipment scattered all over, and the whole atmosphere is generally sad and run down.

The buffet at Liquid Bar is like a cheap karinderya. It's pitiful and laughable.

The fish spa is still enjoyable, though it's not very hard to screw it up.

The Oceanarium is still the crown jewel of the place, full of interesting species and huge fish.

Hard times, these. It seems Manila Ocean Park is still trying to stay relevant despite rising costs and a dwindling customer base, and it's easy to see the desperate struggle to try and stay afloat.

It is more for children than for oldies like me. So nothing for me.

It was a wonderful experience for kids going into the different exhibit..etc
We visit the place during the weekend and it was chaotic. Some areas had poor ventilation and some animals we expected were gone..
It's a small tight place where you can enjoy many species from birds, ocean animals, creeping animals and insects. Live penguins are also available. The tanked Jelly fish is worth seeing.
There should have been space to take a rest.
Seal show started 3pm and is directly opposite facing the sun.

Over all experience is okay.

Every one go manila need to go here and see the beg fish and have many fish I didn't see before

Too bad that there are some attractions that my son wasn't allowed to go inside yet even with adult supervision. But still a fun and educational place to visit with kids.

Not bad, needs more air-conditioning, bird exhibit is very disappointing. All the fish stuff is cool and top rate.

The aquariums and creatures are pretty cool. It also helps educate children.

the entrance fee is quite hefty, but its worth it.

It s all worth it! We had this Birthday Promo for my nephew s birthday celebration. An awesome place to visit to learn and have fun about the ocean creatures for all ages! I won t forget my nephews endless smiles and excitement as their eyes beamed with amazement while watching different sea animals move in the waters. What they can only see on YouTube is now in front of their eyes! An extremely wonderful experience for the family!

Broken and old facilities, some are even dirty. Escalator doesn't work. Great for kids and lots of options for food but needs to be maintained.

Its a great place for a family trip or school field trip they have a lot of fishes to look at and even penguins. You can also buy a lot of souvenirs and stuff. Plus they even have a spa that removes kalyo from your feet.

Absolutely beautiful place. I especially recommend families with children to go.

I have been to city aquariums around the world and this is by far the worst.

First of all, the place is a death trap! The overall facility is large and might have a decent capacity, however, the feature, the aquarium itself, they overfill. If any event happened which might cause any type of panic such as a fire, there would be a big problem. There are not enough readily available exits and the overcrowding would cause people to trample each other (see photo). The place is elbow to elbow. Most of the facility is the hotel, restaurants and shops. There is very little in the way of an actual aquarium. There are some tiny tanks in the outdoor area before you get to the main section. A few medium tanks. Maybe 2? And the main feature which is the short tunnel. It was such a disappointment and definitely not worth the entrance fee. I've seen comparable aquariums at petting zoos overseas that charge half the price. The place is essentially nothing more than a place for people to take selfies for facebook in front of a fish tank.

Second, as another reviewer mentioned the animal rights are atrocious. The tanks seem dirty and overcrowded. Some of the sealife is too large for the habitat they are in. It almost looks like fish farm tanks with how they are filled. To add insult to iniury, they have "mermaids" and visitors who pay to scuba in the habitat. When I was there, a total of 6 people were in the main tank. This is aweful for the inhabitants. It is a shock to them to have so many foreign objects/people constantly intruding, contaminating and polluting their environment.

I won't even go into the uncouth behavior of most of the visitors that is not kept in check by the staff as it seems par for the course here.

Lastly, I would like to point out that the inside of this facility is not handicap accessible and they do not bother to inform you when you pay to get in, even when a person of limited mobility goes straight to the ticketbooth. Now to get TO the facility, there is a ramp but once inside the actual aquarium you either have to go back up front and ask to be let through a locked side or find a way to carry any handicapped person(s) up the flights of stairs.

I'd like my money, time and cost of transportation back because we wasted all of the above visiting this facility.

It used to be a national pride during it's heyday! but lack of maintenance are soo evident, such a pity situations and might end up with the same faith of our beloved Manila Zoo. It's just unbearable.

So much fun. We had 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade children at the park the same time we were there and it was hilarious. The park is great but the kids made it a blast. Plenty of places to eat and lots of nice gift shops. The wild bird show and the sea lion show were so much fun. A great time

The Park is a really big one and offers a variety of different bundles. I didn't visited the whole park but just spent my afternoon there so it seemed to me that the ticket price was fair, since it takes several hours to see all the different exhibits. The main exhibit, Oceanarium, offers multiples fishponds with different environments and fish species.
Also, the park has many attractions such as sea lion exhibition, diving experiences and a fish spa.
Missing: information labels near to the ponds.
