Summer na naman! And what better way to spend it than with a dose of #VitaminSea at The Manila Ocean Park! It’s a one-of-a-kind adventure that both kids and the kids-at-heart will surely enjoy.

It’s my second time to visit here but it seems that I get a new adventure every time I visit. It was quite a rainy day but rain won’t keep me going to Manila Ocean Park because aside from having fun and entertaining attractions, these attractions are also educational. They do not only show us cute creatures and their tricks but also how to take care of them and as well as our environment, which is part of their habitat.

After being closed for almost two years, Manila Ocean Park is now ready to welcome us with their 8 awesome attractions! They have tickets here where you can get access to most of the attractions: https://www.manilaoceanpark.com/tickets

Pero halika, samahan ninyo ako at silipin natin isa-isa, and I have also provided a link for each attraction if you want to access it but better to purchase the Bundled tickets where you get to experience many attractions during your visit.

1. OCEANARIUM

The Oceanarium is home to 14,000 marine creatures from around 277 species, all indigenous to the Philippines and Southeast Asia. OMG na lang ang masasabi mo once you enter the Oceanarium.

Under the sea, under the sea. Yes, you will be one with the creatures of the sea!. Can you imagine yourself walking through a stunning walk through of the watery depths featuring seven sections and containing 3,000 cubic meters of seawater? Now you can!

Look at this! Grabe yung unique nilang 55-meter, 220° curved walkway tunnel with a spectacular underwater view of amazing sea creatures swimming overhead! Mapapa-wow ka talaga!

You may buy your tickets here: Oceanarium

2. TRAILS TO ANTARCTICA – PENGUIN TRAILS

Being a tropical country, we sometimes dream of a white Christmas but now, your dreams can come true here at the Trails to Antarctica! May bonus na Penguin pa! Welcome to the the first penguin park facility in the country. It features a walk-through exhibit where you can learn more about the frozen continent, live Humboldt penguins in the Penguin Exhibit.

If talagang curious ka and adventurous, you may also try the actual penguin feeding and have your photos taken up close and personal with the penguins for only Php 650 which is good for two persons na!

It was truly a one-of-a-lifetime experience with the Humboldt penguins, cute nila pero I smell something fishy (shempre kase they eat fish anubeh) at matakaw talaga sila.

Di lang pala mga lamang dagat ang mabibisita mo dito, pati mga lamang lupa! Not the “lamang lupa” you are thinking of but here you will see the often ignored, feared and misunderstood creatures who are believed to have survived the earth for a lot of years: the insects, worms, spiders, bugs, frogs, lizards, and snakes.

These creatures will certainly give you hair-raising feelings and goosebumps but don’t forget to read about them so you will know that they are more than meets the eye.

Have you seen the room full of cockroaches?

You may also visit the Kryptonite Room where you suddenly feel that your powers of taking a good picture is taken away due to the dark but neon-lighted room.

Ayan na ang mga bird!!! Well, sea, land and even air, Manila Ocean Park really has it all! They are not stopping at land and sea animals but also providing us an awesome show of cute tricks and amazing stunts by our fine feathered friends.

The show is headlined by beautiful macaws, cockatoos, doves, and eagles who astonishes us with their remarkable showmanship.

But what’s most important is Manila Ocean Park’s environmental message at the end of the show, which is to take care of our environment so that our bird friends will be able to live long and be free to roam the ends of the earth.

Who would have thought a sea lion can dance, smile, kiss, fetch a ball, clap, jump over a hoola hoop, retrieve a missing toy gun and more!

I am sure that any “hooman” who gets to see this show will love sea lions even more! They are truly intelligent and endearing creatures of the sea! Again, the environmental message at the end is what’s most important so we will be able to be with these adorable creatures so better take these messages into heart.

You will surely get lost in this world of amazing jelly fishes which are often called the “dancing sea fairies”. It’s as if they are floating away with no worries and beautifully prancing with their long skirts, sana all.

It’s just very hard to take pictures of these awesome creatures but it’s as if time casually passes by with the Jellies Exhibit adorned with a fascinating display of multi-media effects, lights and soothing music.

(SOON TO RE-OPEN!) SEA LION ENCOUNTER

Get ready for the return of the Sea Lion Encounter! We were lucky enough to get to try this before it’s public return.
We got up close and personal with Manila Ocean Park’s cute and highly intelligent South American sea lion, which was endearingly named “Yeni”.
Nag-show off si Yeni with her tricks of fetching a ball, jumping through a hoop, and even giving us a kiss! Yeni even claps, poses, smiles, and many more! So awesome!
Check out a snippet of our Sea Lion encounter here:
They have 5 South American Sea Lions from Chile, South Africa which you can get up close and personal too with their Sea Lion Encounter that are available only by reservation for a minimum of 5 people at Php 3,500 per head.
You can also catch the sea lions in action during the entertaining Sea Lion Show back to back with the All-Star Bird Show.
So, which attraction would you like to try? Try mo na lahat! It’s truly a memorable experience interacting with these adorable creatures!

 

I am sure this would be a super fun and learning experience for you and your family and friends. If you are not yet convinced, check out a snippets of our adventure here:
