Manila Ocean Park Reviews

The only thing that bothered me the most is how unorganized they were on giving their tickets. My older sister brought her one year old, she was on a stroller. As we entered the first sight-seeing venue, they informed us that for the baby to have a free admission she still needs a stamp, which is supposedly given when the ticket bands were distributed. It was an inconvenience to us since it was their task to make sure the tickets are given in the right quantity and to stamp the babies under 3ft tall for the free admission. We let it pass since probably it was only us who was treated like that, a minor problem. But as we waited, there was another group who had the same problem, the baby also didnt have a stamp. Nobody on the receiving area of that venue even thought of going outside and calling the ticketing booth's attention. Maybe walking that far, outside to the ticketing booth is too much of a hassel for the employees, but not for their customers I guess.

It was a nice overall experience though the jellyfish exhibit is gone.

I think you should state clearly if a line is for those on field trips.

Kids and youngvat heart will definitely enjoy this place

Expensive for the country, not all departments are pedagogically low in a price because there are very few descriptions, in the end I had the feeling: more business than fish

Good place for a family outing for the entire day..
has a big range of local species of marine life for display..
can be crowded though..

the outdoor restaurant is specially good ..!
Must visit!!

Amazing place. I remember coming here when I was in first grade and I saw a bunch of fish. You should come here if you end up in Manila

Nice place, this place is for all ages not only for kids.

Enjoyed the place good choice for your money. If your into aquatic adventures this is the place

Over booked during the Holiday Season. Come on off peak you'll enjoy it more. Here on the back ground poster are price of events/activities...

The entrance fee is about 900 pesos per person.

It is.

Showcases the marine diversity of the Pacific rim featuring many kinds of large fish, from stingrays to sharks and groupers.

We really enjoyed the variety of the animals on display. Their aquarium is amazing! We loved it.

They can improve their bird show and the barn.

The outside of the place can also use a little spruce up.

I didn't experience to go there but if I can be there a lot of awesome things will happen

There are differnet ticketing options starting from 550 peso per person. Liked the wild sea lion show. Aquarium is good.

Was there with the kids today. Very confusing .... no or few marked ways. So we have z. For example, we did not visit World of creepy crawlies because we did not find it and did not notice us until we got home and saw what we should have visited. Overall not big and not worth the money.

Sea Lion Show is entertaining. Oceanarium is pretty interesting. My kids enjoyed our tour in this place.

My family enjoyed it. Just hope they put up more attractions...

It's a really nice place. Lots to see, the main aquarium and tunnel are kinds small though but still lots to see.
They have also nice reptiles exhibition. Jellyfish not so much.
Great for kids too

Amazing! The aquanaughts experience is worth it. Bring an underwater camera and enjoy the fish

great experience. kids love it. we book the basic ticket/pass and it includes two shows absolutely worth it

Good for kids and kids at heart...very enjoyable and relaxing

Its currently under maintenance. Medyo kapagod ung haba ng iikutin from 2nf floor going back to ground floor.

Very surprised with the variety of attractions. Wasn't expecting much.

Nice Place To Visit For The Whole Family Something For Everyone.

Nice aquarium with plenty to see provided you buy the fancier package.

I remember when l went there as a kid. Very entertaning for kids

the staff in this hotel are very helpful and friendly . but the room must be check i guest by the superior because some of the amenities are not in place bath towels &tissue is not sufficient in needed .

I enjoyed my experience here. A must visit place while you're in Manila.

The food stall doubles the price of water without the customers having to eat. no rest if tired of Kakaikot. no drinking fountain.

internet down could not get in made us wait 3 hours really annoyed so unprofessional and disorganised!

To visit. A little expensive for what it is. Different attractions. On-site restaurants. Cash machine.

We had a great time! Our 3 year-old daughter was clapping during the entire Sea Lion show! Needless to say, she loved it and so did the entire crowd!

Must-see oceanarium if you are in Manila as it's a huge complex and a complete day is almost not enough to see everything that they have. They have tons of marine creatures, all beautiful and they've also added other animals too and entertainment shows. Staff are helpful and queues are orderly. Quick tip is to arrive early as lines can get long especially on the week-end. We also swam with the rays and the sharks and it was an unforgettable experience.

its a good marine park for kids and kids at heart right at the city of manila. the sea lion show is really a fun show to watch.

I've got mixed feelings about Manila Ocean Park, thus the 3-star rating.

The aquarium (Oceanarium) part of the park was fun. It's not necessarily "world-class" quality, but it's pretty decent. My family had fun looking at all the fish and other sea creatures. For the price, it was somewhat small, but not too bad. Definitely more of a vacation price, not a "visit every day" price, but that's expected for a place like this.

We didn't get a chance to see most of the attractions at the park, but in addition to the Oceanarium, we did go through the exhibit Trails to Antarctica. There's a nice education part right as you go in, but the penguin exhibit (what I was thinking would be my kids' favorite part) was extremely disappointing. They only had one small area with penguins and less than 10 penguins. They were the small type, too, not the big emperor penguins. They had some fake emperor penguin statues, though. When we went the slide was also shut down for some reason. The only part of Trails to Antarctica that we really liked was the Snow Village. It's basically shaved ice scattered around in a large walk-in freezer with some Christmas decorations thrown in for good measure. It wasn't much to look at, but for me and my kids who lived in some cold parts of the US for most of our lives, it was heaven. Where else in the Philippines can you watch your breath puff in front of you? I didn't even get that in Baguio!

We're hoping to go back to the park some day to check out the other attractions.

Good place if you like seeing fishes and reptiles. They have rodents and birds too. They have shows with sea lions, penguins and evening entertainment offers music and sound show they call as "symphony" show.

Great! Enjoyed the sea lion show, aquanarium, creepy crawlies!

It is worth the money. Best experience with your family especially for children. To void hassle you may want to book your tickets online. Expect crowd during weekends. Bring backpack so you can bring your own bottled of water and towel because it's too expensive there. Not to worry they have many restaurant out there. Overall we enjoyed the experience especially the sea lion show.

If you love the ocean and the creatures in it, you'll live the experience of being up close and personal with them. The kids love this place and experience they got. The people are great and friendly.

Place is good. Although I dont think it is safe is the oceanrium part where a crocodile or aligator is resting. The fences are not that safe and anyone can fall in easily. There' s no personnel in that area either
