Manila Ocean Park Reviews

Attractions are small and shows are short. Crazy lines everywhere. Don't waste your money on 15 attractions since you will beat after 10.

I liked the attraction 4 years ago .. Anyway the kids enjoyed it so it was okay to have a snack at the fish spa.

Need some improvement in their facilities.. Nice show anyway

You ll learn a lot especially from the oceanarium. Its a good place to go with the kids. My third time here and saw that they tried to do a lot since my first time. Its the only one of its kind in the Philippines but rating is compared to intl market

It is generally busy on the weekend. So it is best to go during the week days as there are far less people and crowding.

Worth a visit
We were pleasantly surprised with the exhibits, facilities, and the quality of the animals. The seal show always makes our son bust into giggles. The aquarium exceeded expectations and is perfectly adequate and worth a visit. Not as grand as those in Singapore or other bigger, more modern facilities, but no reason not to visit. The aviary is also interesting.

Th is place is so old and so small and nothing much to see for so high entrance fee. Waste of time honestly. Strongly don't recommend you to go there if you are a tourist. Waste of time. Transport out of there is also a big issue.

Small aquariums for so many fish and dirty ones and we were also unlucky to catch school hours so it was full of children making noise and hitting the glass of the aquariums

Fun but lacking. This place was probably amazing a few years ago but time has taken its toll. Under trained staff seems to be theme at theme parks here. Even the most simple problem can be 30 minute affair. Still a great place for the kids. Make sure to buy the biggest package otherwise you'll waste money trying to add attractions later.

A Place where your Family will enjoy live shows, you will love the animals.

Favourite part is the jellies. For the water/lazer show at the end of the day, get there early to get a good seat up the back

Its good, we enjoyed but i hope manila ocean park clean all the garbage in the sea wall located in the birds of prey, napakaraming basura ang palutang lutang,

Loved the options here to interact with animals!! We had a Ray and shark experience and a sea lion experience. Wow. Loved it.

A must try if you are in Manila and if you are with kids. They will surely enjoy every moment of it just like my daughter. Really cool and fun.

had a total blast, this is an absolute must go and see event, it has everything from birds to reptiles, insects, all size of fish and manta rays, the best part is you can even go into the enclosures with the fish and penguins

Total disaster. DO NOT TRY AND GO HERE DURING A WEEKEND. They have no maximum capacity. it was a complete zoo. so many people you couldn't walk. the food vendors were running out of food. we paid to go in, and the lines just to get into the exhibits were hundreds if not thousands of people deep and hours long. after we got into the park and started to survey the situation we told the kids "sorry, not today" and promptly left. was a terrible, expensive learning experience. no refunds even though we paid maybe 10 minutes earlier (we didn't really expect one) we might try again on some rainy Tuesday afternoon and will adjust the review accordingly. on the weekends or holidays avoid at all costs.. as my kids discovered, it will all end in tears.

A great place to visit our friends from the ocean. The vicinity even have a buffet restaurant and i liked it. This ocean park is good for all ages.

I'm a full grown adult but I was like a kid in a huge toy store that can't stop smiling. I love animals specially exotics and Manila Ocean Park has it all. With interactive set up from birds of prey, sea lion shows, penguins and my most favorite group of all, the Creepy Crawlies consisting of Lizards, Snakes, Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, Scorpions and Tarantulas! I'll be sure to visit again when I get back to Manila for a vacation!

The facility is already old and not really maintained.. probably glory days are over..

Good Place for Family Bonding. But prices on other activities too expensive. Especially Parking Fee.

Good place for family outing during weekends. Sometimes or always too crowded.

Kids loved the place. Perfect venue for familu and friends bonding. Have a lot of restaurant to choose from on case you want to dine in. Hotel H2O inside. Just need to care more about some animals like the hamsters wjo are in poor health conditions.

Its worth the visit, so educational. Highly recommended for kids to go!

An awesome experience for my son who celebrating his birthday

Very nice place to go especially if you have kids with you

Good sometimes too difficult If the Logar does not know

I thought it was better than I expected however it was just so-so. They need to improve the place, needs maintenance...

The attractions are fairly amusing, the best one is the sea lion show which is amazing and funny. Is hot inside so wearing thick clothes is not advisable.

Great place for family bonding, just need to improve some attractions especially this holiday season!

There are many shows. But the indoor air is quite hot

Easy to find. Lots of commuting options. Plenty of food choices. Spacious park. Friendly staffs. Accessible restrooms. Kid friendly.

It is a wonderful place to widen one's view about the ocean world on top of a group adventure. It is suitable for all ages. It appeals to both young and old. I went there with my grandmother and my friends. They enjoyed it. And, I enjoyed it. I like seeing those sharks, touching those sting rays. Those fish are adorable. It is such a wonderful experience to see what one would when exploring the ocean world.

Hot, crowded, no air-conditioning or air-conditioning is not strong, after shopping I can't help but feel like "you're outrageous, I watched the three little ones".

A bit overpriced but if you purchase Metrodeal vouchers, it's worth it. :)

I have been here twice. I always had a great time and love watching the shows. Perfect place for families. Staff are very accommodating and all the animals are well taken care of. Also the place is pristine.

A little disappointed. A higher level oceanographic was waiting for me. The best are the shows, which take place in the middle of a large lake. They make a series of spectacular games of lights and water jets, creating an authentic wall of water on which they project animated videos. Very bad for the oceanographic part, excellent for the shows.

To explore all attractions you should be here from 9 am to 8 pm.

There are many attractions, just plan ahead which attractions to go first for everyone to visit. last show ung symphony even when it rained they provided plastic coat to wear so we can still watch the show. I just suggest having stroller rentals for the kids so that the kids can relax.

Overall is ok, the only problem is, to go upstair is a bit difficult due to very limited escalator, the existing one is at the back and not functioning.Need to use stairs, not convenient for senior citizens. Signage also a bit confusing.

This is my first ocean park experience. I visited MOP last November and checked in at Hotel H2O last December in one of their Aquaroom. The fishes inside the aquarium of Aquaroom are not pretty. Re: Ocean Park, I was thrilled to see so many marine animals.
We went quite late around 4:30pm. My Mom is a PWD. By the time she needs to go to the comfort room which is nearly 7pm, only one PWD-FRIENDLY comfort room was left opened which was very the giant aquariums. It was hard to push wheelchair to that comfort room because the floor isn't even.
My Mom's favorite was the Birds of Prey.

Be prepared to walk. Last time I went there I had 13k steps. The attractions are quite okay, tho there were a lot of people. Limited food choices.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy the ocean Park. Also very refreshing to get out of the city and be by the sea and watch the sunset

Cute little water park. I loved the fish spa! They had the seal show, reptiles and other fun shows.

Clean and well organize place. A treasure to the eye unfortunately we didn't get the chance to see the penguins but all in all a great time to spend with your loved ones

Aquarium and sea lion shows and fairly acceptable birds
