Manila Ocean Park Reviews

i love marine wildlife, so this is the place where i can experience sea creatures...

Is not worth the money. 1000th PHP (18 ) entrance is far too expensive. Ok the fish have to be fed, but still it's not worth the money. Everything already old. Plaster crumbles, everywhere is trash in the corners.

Our Family is very disappointed of the Manila Ocean Park of our last visit last August! It was shocking that their charging my 1 year Old son for adult price because his above 2 feet! How crazy is that! Only in the Philippines I must say!!!!!
My son is half English-New Zealand his quite tall for his age!!! But they insisted that we still need to pay as it their policy! I have to complain to their Booking department but they only gave up 100 pesos discount!!!
We d been to Honkong, Singapore, Australia - Melbourne and Gold Coast and New Zealand - Auckland Aquariums but they never charges us when my daughter was 1 and not even charging us full price when she was 3.
Made us think not to visit again, as it s very disappointing of their height policy!!!! It s crazy!!!
They also need to clean the water where they put the eagles, full of rubbish and it looks disgusting!

Good place to learn about the sea creatures. We got a good deal from Metrodeal. Sulit ang binayad namin!

For touristing in Manila this place was amazing to tour it

An ideal place for one day outing. Seal show was interesting. Dont miss this.

I love the place, neat and accuracy in time of their presentation. Very lovely places. I will return again after 4 months in time..

Had a chance to visit the Manila Ocean Park last Month during my son's birthday. It was an awesome experience we had a good time with all the sea creatures featured there. Here are a list of favorites my son and I have so far.

1. The Jellyfish room was amazing. When we entered the room it was like a tunnel of fairies swimming in the fish tank. The glowing effect

2. My son enjoyed the aquarium sooo much because they have sharks. Not the great white sharks. Mostly not fish eating sharks but still sharks which was amazing!

3. The sea lion show was a comic relief during the trip

4. We went inside the aviary where we got see a cage full of budgies that you can feed. They sell bird seeds outside the aviary for Php 50

6. There's a mall inside and a lot of good restaurants

Overall, it was an awesome experience for us as a family

It was nice especially for people who can't go snorkeling or diving.

Great place clean beautiful ,it was fun going there

It is a fun place. Sundays are more "tame" than the weekdays and Saturdays. I would give it 5 stars if the lines were more defined for group tours and walk-in customers. Over-all, it was fun for my family!

Amazing experience mostly having a picture with the sea lion. The fish spa tickled as so much but we finally contain and enjoyed it. Symphony evening show will complete your MOP experience with magneficient dancing lights and a surprise fireworks.

Compact park with specialized hotel rooms: room wall sized aquarium. A bit pricey. Check promos.

It's meh. While you can definitely appreciate the programs, it lacks luster.

I super loved the experience. I was giggling like a little girl the whole time. Amazing setup and it was my first time to watch sea lions performing but were very well taken care of.

Not great but still entertaining. It's overpriced for what you get.

It was ok. Tons of kids everywhere and they rudely push themselves around you

This place needs improvements. Some parts have been neglected. Walls are dirty. Saw garbage in Birds of Prey Kingdom. No clean water for washing after the Doctor Fish Spa.

I hope they extend more effort in maintaining the place.

This place is a great educational destination for kids and adults alike. Just prepare for the great deal of walking involved. Also, some of the food concessionaires can be a little pricey.

Enjoyed seeing all those animals, didnt expect seeing some other kinds of animals asode from fishes and such. The sea lion show was awesome.

I'm sorry. This is a place for kids. A nice aquarium, decent seats lion and water show but otherwise only meh

Average attraction in Manila. The shark and Ray tank is nice. The sea lion show is average fun. I suggest you pay extra after the sea lion show to go backstage and get a picture with the sea lions. The aquarium is probably the best attraction. The penguin exhibit is below average but now you can pay extra and feed the penguins by hand which was cool. Jelly fish exhibit is average. The bugs and reptiles exhibit is above average. Weekend crowds are heavy. Mid week visits are better.

It would be best to get a discounted voucher online like metrodeal voucher. Way cheaper.

My little 3 year old like the talking penguin show..amazing crazy

A nice place to relax. The park itself has a lot of features; the aquariums, fish spa, birds of prey kingdom are my most favorite. Aside from its main features the park also has a hotel(one of the nicest, if not the best, that I've been in) they have Makan-makan restaurant for your hungry tummy, and Whitemoon bar, a nice place to relax and watch the majestic Manila Bay sunset. Truly relaxing

It is also situated near Luneta park which gives you yet another set of fun things to enjoy. You can do picnic, sight-seeing, have a massage,watch the fountain during the night, ride a kalesa, etc.

It is sort of hit and miss in this park. Has a lot of attractions in one area but tends to be disorganized and crowded. Some of the fishes in the oceanarium looked sick. Some of the exhibits are not well maintained. There also tends to be long queues and wait time. However the company has done a lot of clean ups in the area around Manila Bay.

Oceanarium and Sea Lions were the highlights. Others were either too short or are out of place and some should just be joined for a better experience

It is a bit annoyong that you have to buy a package for 6 or 15 activities. And thay youbcsnt choose which activities you want. Its also a bit mor focussed on kids. Never the less we had an allright timr. Thr ocean and artic place are nice

I was not able to experience the inside of Manila Ocean Park. Each area is so expensive. Hope they'll have promos soon.

The current situation of Manila Ocean Park isn't the same as its prime :( it's sad to see that this place may not last

Cool place. Now is the right time to visit because of their great discounts on tickets.

A very nice place for children. It pays to buy the most expensive ticket. It's best to spend the whole day. recommend

It's a nice tourist spot Just expect heavy traffic and hard to get a taxi ride in the evening.

Some good and bad things about thia place. Hopefully the educational elements will help the Philippine people realize theyneed to jelp save what they have

Great place for kids... Nice way to entertain and educate children with the Marine life...

See all living water cattle. The best thing is the fish spa.

Great day out for families and friends. You can see sea life, insects, reptiles and penguins here. Also some birds as well. Food and souvenir options.

For the price, it was alright. But if they made me pay more, I'd rather wait for the new one in Cebu.

Fun place to learn about marine life. The nearby hotel, hotel H20 is a very beautiful hotel. Some of their rooms have aquariums as windows.

Attractions needs improvement/additions, fishes didn't changed since opening the park few years ago. CR needs proper maintenance. More chairs open to anyone specially for PWDs. Overall an okay place to enjoy.

This is my third visit, but this place is getting nicer everytime. It just that its crowded.

It's tedious and expensive place but really worth it

Super nice place. Especially the Sea Lion Show is awesome. Wilson, The Sea Lion was cute

Cheap price, but you get what you pay for. Penguin exhibit is small and cheap. The aquariums are pretty small and cramped with large fish, the set up is pretty cheap... All in all, place is nothing special, it's cheap and you get what you pay for.

What ever you do, don't go to that speaking penguin stuff.

Holds a special place in my heart. Visited it more than 10 times! Symphony of lights is a must see. Yung penguin talk show basura for real. Yexel great experience and the oceanarium of course. Good value for money. Hotel H20 good place to stay too! Eat at Makan makan the roti and the laksa or yummy! Get the sealion photo op best one in the choices. Cheers!

Like to visit those cute sea lions and penguins again and again. The aquarium is not up to international standards but very nice, specially the underwater tunnel

Loved it, huge monitor lizards, monkeys and an underground river.

Really not sure how to rate this one... on one hand its pretty good and on the other its pretty bad... It's set out so that you end up coming back to a big center area and or shopping area, the areas for the fish and animals are good but then the insects display is made up of a lot of stick insects and few others insects... Really how meany stick insects so you need to show???? Felt sorry for some of the snakes on show too.. as I said both good & bad.. I liked most of it but I wouldn't go back for a 2nd visit.

It was an amazing experience! A very good place to spend your weekends.

been here twice, still loved this place. very educational. lots of animals to find.

This place has an aquarium, live show, history, fish spa, fast food, dining areas, souvenir stores.

relaxing and educational place to learn about the biodiversity of our world's ocean
