Manila Ocean Park Reviews

Good aquarium experience but the place and cafeteria is too old. Lack of maintenance or the place needs renovation. Better bring some food lunch.

i love this place......lalo na sa mga doctor fish.....

The park is still considerably great as there's no other theme park with the same offering to Filipinos living in Metro Manila. Though the condition of some of its facilities, attractions and the oceanarium itself shows that age has already caught up with it. Some attractions like the bird show outside and the Christmas village is disappointingly lacking. The oceanarium is good though you'll be forced to stroll past it as the tunnel is quite hot. And did I mention the Penguin Talk Show? Please skip it. The lines to it is long but is definitely undeserved. And you'll see it as people inside tend to alrrady go outside minutes after the show started. Enough with the sad bit, the park has a lot boast. The Farm Animals/Barn, The Rays & Sharks, the Oceanarium "as a whole", the Penguin Feeding, and the Bird Show are a must see. And I must say that with the cuase to which the park exists - which is for the preservation of these animals and the education it gives to Filipinos - patronising them is good work.

we very enjoyed exploring manila ocean park especially the sea lion show, it was really fun

There's a lot of animals! not just sea animals but also land and air animals

Very nice place.
Learned and experienced new things.

explore deep sea adventure with the family.. must go

It s a good place to tour in if you re interested about marine life. The Oceanarium is still a big hit and it never gets old. The fishes make an interesting view, making you feel like you re really underwater. There are a lot of species to see, ranging from the small ones to the big ones. Aside from the Oceanarium, there are a lot of tank displays. Also, there are other fun attractions, such as the Sea Lion show and the Fish Spa. A truly recommended place for families with kids.

Great place to be as an adult and a must go with kids. All activities were fun especially oceanarium, jellies, fishSpa and TrailsToAntartica.
The downside is that a few options that are sold as part of your package have extra costs included which you have to pay when you go there...like TrailsToAntartica.
BirdsOfPrey and SeaLionEhow are orchestrated in open but if could be done indoors, would be safe enough to not cause heat stroke to any of the tourist.

Fish, fish, fish. Lots of fish.

The place is starting to need some renovations.

The place is big but it can be very crowdy. Go during the weekdays or non-holidays to enjoy the amenities and attractions here.

Food and souvenir shops are plenty so you have a choice where to eat and buy some things.

Not much "Ocean Park" about this place. There's plenty other things, but it has nothing to do with the ocean. Plenty of food places and parrots though.

The aquarium portion is beautiful but there were dozens of kids banging their hands on the tanks and nobody working in the area to stop them.

The bird exhibit is above a garbage dump.

Nice to visit in Manila area, just be beware of Taxi scams.. Better to use Grab or Uber

Had a great time with my little one. Overall fun filled day with enough to enjoy.

Actually like any water zoo, if you just look at the things.
But it has cool and nice extras, like being with the penguins and feeding them in the enclosure or these mini fish that gobble up the hornhat (but unfortunately too expensive).
What is interesting is that this is one of those places because there is snow that unfortunately the locals don't see by nature.

Very nice, good for kids, the best part is to see the aquariums from top.

One has to pay extra for each attraction, but it's overall still cheaper compared to the ocean park in Singapore. Overall, its not bad considering its location in a relatively underdeveloped city like Manila

You can spend your wholeday here with your family and friends here in a affordable price.
There's also lots of stores that students can afford.
The staff are very accommodating to their guests.
The Hotel H20 security is secured also. Their receptionist are very respectful, helpful and accommodating also.

Ang ganda super I saw differerent kind of sea creatures... especially the fish foot spa nakakakiliti hahaha

Location ok, facilities very good, staff at the tours reception Did not give accurate taxi fare information to the National museums, from the H20 Hotel. For example the Hotel staff quoted from : 7000 then 5000 then 1600 pascos , the actual prices was 200 by grab. I expect this from taxi drivers, not hotel staff.

Very nice place to visit. Esp family bonding. Couple dating. Barkada outing.
There's a lot to see

Great for family and kids and kids at heart. Especially for me, I m an adult who didn t experience such, visiting zoo, field trips with family, at a young age due to lack of funds before. But thank God, we are able to experience it today.

Beautiful Raptors, great fish spa and wonderful seals. Lots for kids if you bring the family

Food and souvenirs basically describes the place. I didn't catch any of the shows, so I can't comment about that. There's a bar upstairs that has decent drinks and offers nice views of Manila bay.

Great place to visit when in Manila! One that amazes me so much is the tunnel !!

It's not as good as it used to be. New attractions failed to live up to its predecessors. The other ones are quite lame.

P.S. Sea Lion Show never gets old tho.

The experiences are beautiful but not exceptional. For this price, we expected better.

1 day is not enough to visit. Make sure to plan your trip and manage your time.

if youre in a budget, bring your own food inside bc everything inside are expensive for the common mass

Very nice View of the Sea. Have Different kinds of Marine Animals and Land Animals as well. Great for family outings and get togethers.

A nice place to unwind at whitemoon Bar bu H2O. Drinks are served fresh. The only dismay I had were the cheese sticks and nachos. They were served cold and did not excite me to eat.

Oceanographic Manila with lots of animals inside and shows of different types. Ideal to spend the day with the family.

Some of the attractions have greatly diminished (jelly fish exhibit got way smaller, yexel was replaced by superman exhibit, oceanarium corals are disappearing). It's still a great place to bring your kids to, just not as great as it used to be.

Very nice place to go to with your friends and family.

This place is worth a visit. Two big downside however: the arrows are very poorly designed, insufficient, unclear. In addition, we can deplore a cruel lack of explanations at different stages of the visit.

Go place for Pokemon Go hunters. Rare pokemons often spotted and at the ocean park.

Very nice clean contemporary mold ..... Everything but also everything is available there just like in Europe. Prices are therefore very similar to Europe.

Very nice place to appreciate some of the worlds aquatic animals, birds of prey and creepy crawlies.

same as last time i visited it...except it isnt as cold as it.used to ...and there was no snow it the xmas village anymore...but its still okay for kids

H2O Hotel: I booked a room in H2O. Description told us that its suitable for 4. 2 adult and 2 children. Description mentioned as well that there was a kingsize bed.
So I expected that parents will use the kingsize bed and that 2 smaller extrabeds were placed for the kids. We entered the room but only this kingsize bed. I asked if they will still bring the beds or matrasses for the kids. But instead they told me that its bedsharing. !!! My daughter aged 11 is taller than average female filipina and her friend was already 14 years old. So i decided to order an extra matress and slept on the floor next to the bed.
I do not recommand to book such a room if u are taller than filipinos and if u travel with older kids. Bedsharing seems to be frequently used by filipinos as they have smaller bodies.
Staff were friendly as filipinos are always.

Ocean park: I cant judge the price. I dont know if its too much or not. We had a bit of discount as H2O guests. Ask in reception.
The attractions are in fact spread everywhere. Some have shedules. So i recommend to make your own timetable on arrival.

As an adult i could write some negative about maintenance, price, unorganised ...., basically what is written in other ratings here, but the kids liked the park. That should be the most important.

You find some restaurants and small stores if you get hungry or if you need a souvenir. 2 ATM can be found as well.

Reminds me of the Long Beach Aquarium but they have penguins!

good but not great.
Japan's aquariums are better.

it is a great experience for your kids and for the whole family.

it was fun and awesome.. I recommend this park for your family

Second time going, The Exhibits were great, the fish were well kept and the fish were unexpectedly big, the sea lion show was entertaining would reccomend.

Manila Ocean Park is a great place for kids and adults. During my visit, I've encountered a different variety of animals. There are birds, rabbits, sharks, sting rays, jelly fish, and a lot more. While strolling the place, you'd probably be hungry. Don't worry because there are food stalls all over the place. Check Metrodeal to avail discounted tickets.

Everything is looking great! But hopefully we could enter more than once for each booth.

It's my 3rd or 4th visit and I'm definitely coming back again with family and/or friends. Lots of activities to do and lots of animals to see. People of all ages will definitely find something they'd enjoy.

a good place to visit with friends and family. A crowded place since it's the purpose for entertainment.

Manila ocean park is beautiful place.. More knowlege about life

Nice place, courteous staff but service needs to be improved

been with my husband, son and neice and we have fun and had beautiful experience in this place. it made me young again and taught us something about preserving our nature and its inhabitants. be coming back...
