Manila Ocean Park Reviews

Not a stroller/wheel chair user friendly. The Map they have is like a floor plan, you cannot tell if the way is for employees only. Wasn't able to avail Fish Spa, we end up with the Field trip exclusive & the other one for individual tour was way far in the second.floor. Map do not indicate comfort room and there is limited signages. Liquid buffet serves salty adobo, limited food choice for your P250.

Good for any type of people from groups to solo travellers. Very various attractions at reasonable prices. They also have various promos so just visit their website for more details. There are also many food stands so if you ever got hungry from roaming around, you can choose from slurpies to heavy rice meals. There are also souvenir shops and a hotel attached to it if you came from other places.

More labels needed for fish Jellyfish exhibit was boring as...

I love the place specially the birds of prey kingdom and the barn :)

It was great, even i didnt went to all attraction, but still i enjoyed it much..seen lots of species..

entertaining lots of different species.good for the children to learn and see sea creatures .educational ...

Confusing layout and feels a bit empty. Cleanliness is also an issue.

so many things to see and experience but the place is too hot... although there are cool places inside but from our experience, there are more humid place than cool ones...

Lots of activities. Probably okay during weekdays. For holidays and weekends, expect heavy crowd. A bit disappointed in Tales of Antartica though, it was just watching penguins. Thought it was like Snow World from Star City. Maybe okay to visit once.

This theme park is showing its age. Still, there are attractions that are still amazing.

Place...not pwd accessible(main entrance broken elevator) and the every attraction is unconveniently placing/location. Staffs are accommodating and friendly but most of all it's an Amusing and Great place!

that was a memorable Experience while were was in Manila Ocean Park. Best place for dating because theres a lot of attractions...A lot of animals and you will enjoy it every moment your here.

Just to the Oceanarium. Nothing else. Thats the Best Buy.

Beautiful place to spend special time with friends and family

excellent! Fish spa is amazing! very underrated! must visit!!

This is a must-see travel destination, especially if you're bringing your date, friends or family with you. Not only are the shows and animals here exotic and magnificent, but the displays themselves are also eye-catching and memorable. There is also great dining and affordable snacks for the famished, and you can even interact with the exhibits as an aquanaut or voluntary participant. Live shows of trained animals doing tricks and exhibitions are also showcased, as well as an operatic take on the forces of nature viewed in the evening as a climactic display of light shows, fountains, and fireworks. This place also accepts reservations and advance ticket purchases. And as if this place isn't possibly enough to occupy the better part of your day, Luneta Park, Intramuros and Quirino Grandstand is only a walk away. EDIT: Sometimes discounts are available for certain individuals, such as Civil Service employees during periods where Memoranda of Agreement are executed between management and government agencies. Just don't forget to bring your ID with you to avail of promos.

Many funny things, beautiful animals, not too expansive but too many people on weekends

Love the place, Love the athmosphere, although the things are expensive and also the parking

The ocean park is a good place to visit but it is slowly getting older and more rundown. There are two seasons in the Philippines, dry and rainy so be ready to take an umbrella and poncho or something to keep dry. Make sure to go early in the day because some of the exhibits close early and will not allow you to enter past a certain time. The food courts don't smell the best but that's not to say some of the food isn't okay. The bathrooms don't always smell good. They have nice gift shops. I recommend going and making your own assumptions.

Too hot on the audience area in "all star bird show".

I like the mermaids and sea lion show the penguine talk show is so funny i like all .

It's not what it used to be. The place is dirty especially the comfort room. There are no enough signage around the place for people's easier navigation. And the glasses are so dusty. It is not worth it anymore, sadly. Foreign tourists are disappointed to see the Comfort Rooms. They cannot accomodate the crowd. Not enough staff to guide the visitors.

Great place to spend time with family and learn new things! The shows are amazingly good. Wanna go back here in the future.

It's a great way to spend a day in Manila when you are sick of traffic gridlock.

You should understand before going that it's really 3 things simultaneously: aquarium, shopping bazaar, and kiddie amusement park. Since the space is divided roughly equally to each of these, none is particularly large. The aquarium is decent; the shopping is ok (especially if you've been looking for a flaming wallet); and the kiddie amusement park is annoying to those who don't have kids.

But it's still way better than spending the day sweating in traffic.

We went to the Manila Ocean Park for this year's school field trip. I loved the FishSpa! It was my first time to try. Xianney enjoyed the other activities and she enjoyed spending quality time with her classmates.
To sum it, it was a day well spent.

Not as big as the one in Singapore but enough to let your family to enjoy the day

1) The park is really for kids
2) Crowded even on weekdays
3) Plenty of restaurants to choose from
4) No air-conditioning. Very warm
5) Overpriced

Great place for exhibition and the live show is also awesome

Great location for animal lovers and family bonding.
Experience the night show. Great!

Stayed there last may for a week and last November 3-18 staffs are very friendly I liked it there.

We were so late because of hassle booking a ticket in metrodeal that we were not able to maximize the time of our stay, but we still had fun. We were disappointed about the Penguin show, ,we thought we are really going to see real penguins. We are planning on going back to visit the penguins next next time, since it was not included in the package that we bought.

When we went there the aircon was not working or theres just lots of people there..

It's still very fun for kids, but animals are not complete anymore, some not properly labelled.. When we went there the augmented reality is not even working.. But still my child enjoyed it
