Why I chose Metro Manila as our first destination this year’s
Vacation, was because I want my little boy to see the fishes, the water creatures
+ the birds. Manila Ocean Park is the best place to see them up close here
in the Philippines.
We arrived at Metro Manila on January 24, 2013 around 10AM,
checked-in at Tune Hotels and in the afternoon off we went to Manila Ocean Park.
We arrived there a round 4PM too late to watch the Sea Lion Show so we availed
only the Oceanarium + Musical Fountain Show package at P500.00 + P150 for the
Kingdom of Prey experience.
Our First Stop was the Kingdom of Prey (I’ll make a separate
post for this one soon), then the Oceanarium and these are the photos that we’re
able to take. But unfortunately most were dark because flash photography is not allowed. Nevertheless, the photos are still passable.

Manila Ocean Park is indeed a friendly place for adults and kids. We are lucky to have this one of a kind water attraction in our country.
Very wonderful Ocean Park!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots! I'm sure there is a lot to see there.
ReplyDeleteWe went there too last year. Kids loved it but it was done at the afternoon, we just went for the tour, no seals, no jelly fish, no musical fountain. WAh. My kids want to do a repeat! We promised them we will when the baby is a little older
ReplyDeleteNice captures! Reminds me of Seaworld in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all those strange sea creatures, like the nautilus and lionfish....thanx for sharing
ReplyDeleteI believe this could be called Under-Water World Wednesday! Fantastic shots of under the sea life!
ReplyDeleteLove that place too. Did you dip your feet and let the small fish clean it? That would be so cool it could be very ticklish lol!
