Manila Ocean Park is world-class oceanarium located in the capital of the Philippines, Manila. It started its operation back in March 2008. Since then, it became one of the tourist spots of the city. People from nearby cities and provinces go there mainly for amusement, and educational purposes.
Parents bring their kids to Manila Ocean Park for family bonding and also to introduce themselves to various marine life. Students go there to have an actual experience of sea animals they see in science books. Going to the theme park can help the students answer how big the shark is. Or what its like to be near them.
Manila Ocean Park offers opportunities for Kids and adults to have a close encounter with real life sea lions during the sea lion show, or see an actual penguin at the “Trails of Antarctica” exhibit. The theme park also has different species of jellyfish that tourists can see. These transparent sea creatures reflect the light’s color in the aquarium.
The main attraction of Manila Ocean Park is its giant oceanarium. It is home to thousands of marine animals that are composed of hundreds of species. The oceanarium has a manmade underwater tunnel. Guests can walk to it so they can have a view of the sea animals swimming from above.

How to get there
The Oceanarium’s address is Manila Ocean Park Luneta Manila Philippines. Its zip code is 1000. When you go to the park, the landmarks that you can consider are Quirino Grandstand, Manila Hotel, and Luneta park. Basically, the Ocean park is just a stone throw away from the grandstand.
Fortunately, there are many ways to get there. However, the only way to actually get to the place is by walking, by riding a taxicab, or by a private vehicle. There are no public transportation that pass by in front of it. So if you will travel with your kids, then its better to ride a taxi or bring your own private transportation.
