Special Advertising Feature: Come and Experience the Marine Life this Summer




Manila Ocean Park  is the All-Season Holiday Destination within the city. An integrated resort facility with marine life attractions, themed hotel with entertainment and lifestyle  facilities, the park can now be considered as an all-season, all-weather holiday destination for locals and tourists. Definitely a venue for all ages to enjoy.

Lush tropical paradise is found at the Oceanarium,  home to 14,000  marine creatures and more than  270 species indigenous to the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Its 25 meter long, 220° curved walkway tunnel provides a stunning underwater view of these amazing sea creatures.

The Birds of Prey Kingdom is a sanctuary of the majestic Brahminy Kites on loan by DENR-PAWB. These free-flying birds take refuge in an attraction that is considered the largest aviary in Southeast Asia. It stands above the famous Manila Bay.

Enjoy an indoor boat trip in Glass Bottom Boat Ride for a closer view of the marine species without going underwater. If you prefer a close-up interaction with fishes, being an Aquanaut is your best urban option for a thrilling encounter.

The Jellies Exhibit where the colourful jellyfish varieties can be found is also an attraction to behold. Then, there is the relaxing Fish Spa to experience a unique way of rejuvenating your tired feet.

Manila Ocean Park is also the venue to some of the world's most exciting shows -  Sea Lion Show with South American sea lions  as they perform adorable stunts with an ecological message, All-Star Bird Show includes a stellar cast of intelligent bird species with highly-entertaining tricks and the spectacular Musical Fountain Show. This must-see signature show blends laser lights, state of the art water fountain technology, theatrical performances and other surprises.

Feel the winter chill in Trails to Antarctica, our newest attraction that offers a freezing temperature at -15° in Snow Village. Take a ride on Slide o 'Fun, the 42 meter long ice slide before you get a glimpse of the Penguin Exhibit. It is home to Humboldt penguins - see them toddle, swim and eat with gusto.

Have a lively conversation with Hamboo, the first penguin digital puppet in the country. It's real-time interaction with an animated character in the Penguin Talk Show.

Recently, MOP has launched a one of a kind and intimate face to fin moment with friendly sharks and stingrays in Sharks and Rays Encounter - interact, touch, feed, swim and pose with these amazing marine creatures in a fun, safe and educational setting.

Being surrounded by water, it is only natural that Filipinos have a deep fascination with mythical sea creatures particularly mermaids or locally known as "sirena". These alluring and mysterious sea maidens are often depicted in popular art and culture, the current craze for primetime tv drama. They are mythical half-fish, half-humans who hypnotize men with their angelic singing voice and enchanting beauty. Mermaids are also believed to possess supernatural powers of healing. These ethereal beings are the source of urban legends and local folklore which continue to captivate the imagination of both young and old alike.
