Ocean Park/Ocean Adventure in Metro Manila

Ocean Park/ Ocean Adventure is one aquatic dome you should not miss when you visit Metro Manila. Be marveled with their amazing collection of sea creatures and enjoy their booths where you can let your kids play mind games and witness cool scientific experiments promoting environment conservation. Soak your feet in their fish spa and just chill. Be astound with Manila Bay's sunset from their view deck. You can end your tour by having a great meal in their romantic appealing resto...

Here are my list of MUST DO's when you visit Manila Ocean Park, check it out!

1) Start your adventure by viewing the different aquariums filled with varied habitats of sea creatures. Journey through AGOS (flow), a simulation of a jungle with a waterfall that eventually ends in an open ocean where visitors can hold some cool sea creatures like the different species of starfishes. I held one and it felt weird... LOL.



You can then venture to what they call the BAHURA (coral reefs). This showcases the marine biodiversity of our place by putting coral reef inhabitants in multiple tanks.






Move on to the LAOT(Fishing Ground) which shows the different sea creatures utilized by Filipinos as food. .yum2! These fishes are placed in huge tanks.

Then enjoy the best part of the tour (at least for me!), walk through a tunnel known as the BUHAY NA KARAGATAN (The Living Ocean) and witness the real way of life of marine inhabitants. If you get lucky, catch a "Mermaid show" where mermaids swim and dance in this tunnel.



Enjoy more sea creatures in the area called ANG KALALIMAN "The Deep" which homes the jacks.

Want to see PAGI (Stingrays) swimming over you? then look up and be marvelled with these creatures in a hanging tank.



Never seen a specie of PATING (Sharks)? The next huge tank you will see is the collection of the different shark species here in the Philippines, but this time, it wont be dangerous to see them upclose. :)

2) After a tiring tour in the waters, why not dip those tired feet in their Fish Spa as "Doctor Fishes" nibble on those dead skin you have in your feet. Pamper yourself, relax and just enjoy the petite creatures flocking to you. Prepare 120.00 for this!

3) You can also let your kids enjoy the Science Exhibits where they don't just play, but learn as well. Let them be aware about environmental issues and conservation techniques through wonderful toys and games.



4) Why not chill for a while and witness the breathtaking sunset of Manila Bay from their view deck.




5) Or let your kids play the ZORB pool!!!



6) Need to satisfy those palate? Then dine in Ozeanos Restaurant and check out the melting pot of varied world's cuisines. This is definitely an amazing place to end your tour. :D
