Manila Ocean Park

                So much to go and so much see to when you are in Manila… Manila Ocean Park is one of the most visited park located at the back of Luneta/Quirino Grand Stand…It is the first world-class oceanarium owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China. Perfect location for educational field trips and family get to gether made for young children and also fun for any age…

                    Be sure that you know the rules and regulations as you enter the oceanerium… It must be observe for the sake of  the species inside. They may be hurt / distubed by the flashing cameras so be sure to turn it off. No tapping on the aquarium, let’s be kind to them.

                     Moving on, the first section you are going to enter is called AGOS(flow). This a combination of a jungle like and waterfalls. A portion of it is covered by long roots which serves as a roof. The area features the fresh water fishes in a rainforest, varieties of star fishes and koi fishes. you can feed them by holding a feeding bottle,I enjoyed it as they rush and suck the bottle with I guess it’s milk LOL!

         The next section is called the OCEANARIUM showcases the large marine biodiversity in multiple tank and aquariums. I love the varieties of colors too! Stripes and dotted fishes, corals and crustaceans…I whisper to my self how creative the Lord is.

im not sure what is this but i think its pretty

Hi, how are you?

It's a fish not a rock

                  The most enjoyed part of it is the TUNNEL known as BUHAY NA KARAGATAN (THE LIVING OCEAN) You’ll see ofcourse deep sea creatures swimming over you…I feel like I belong! But at the back of my head is the fear of  what if theres an earthquake and the aquarium destroyed? There are sharks and sting rays, oh well forget about it, LOL! By the way we saw an employee in a cge feeding the sharks with squids, man diving fast down with the shark(shark attack) and reef walking in a astronautlike suit… I guess theres a different charge for activities like it. Your kids can also enjoy and learn from their science exhibit.

We love the world so let's protect her..

So many ways to conserve water as well as wasting it... Save than waste!

          Let’s go up to the Second Floor… Tired feet? Why not dip in their FISH SPA called "Doctor Fishes"? Or watch the manila bay and chill for a while, or visit their souvinier shop for your friends and love ones, or dine in their wide variations of food and resto overlooking the Manila Bay… Solve now?

jellies in capsule, it canges its color beautifully makes them look like their dancing

                   If you think it’s over then don’t . The best part I love the most was watching the sealion show, perfect!!! I love how they do the dancing and their cute tricks, but in a way I pity those animals, I can see how tired they are but kept performing to entertain their guest…After that you can visit their habitat on the other side. This charge 100 pesos separate from the entrance fee…

What I like in Manila Ocean Park:

-       learning and fun

-       entertaining

What I don’t like about it:

-       I can’t think how stressful it is for speceies on how many times they were touched by people

-       It is not their natural habitat

-       Animals get tired too, I can see how the sea lion was tired and almost doesn’t want to move.
