Directions
Since Manila Ocean Park is located in Manila, it is easily accessible via car, walking, or a jeepney. But keep in mind that there can be heavy traffic depending on what time you are traveling.
Manila Ocean Park
At Manila Ocean Park, you can visit any attraction in any order that you wish. This is helpful if there are a lot of people there so you can visit something else and wait for the crowd to simmer down. At some points of our visit there was a school doing a field-trip so we tried to avoid them as much as possible.
Oceanarium
This was the first exhibit we visited and was also the main reason we came here too! You will walk through different types of fish and you’ll find a lot of interesting information about them.
Once you get to the oceanarium, that’s when you will see all of the manta rays and other amazing marine-life! But be aware, there will be a lot of people and kids here. We tried to wait it out but it was just not possible to get a photo without anyone in the background.
After the Oceanarium, we were hungry so we ate at Potato Corner. The fries were delicious!
World of Creepy Crawlers
After this, we visited the World of Creepy Crawlers which featured a lot of reptilians. We saw different types of lizards as well as a turtle with a snake-like head. It was indeed creepy.
If you walk around Manila Ocean Park more, you will find food booths as well as souvenir booths. One of them even gave Brea a magic show!
Visiting this ocean park was one of our more calm activities compared to all of the snorkeling activities we were doing previously. It was a nice way to wind down on our last day in Manila.
