Exciting Attractions at Ocean Park Manila You Just Can’t Miss

Manila Ocean Park is more than just a theme park – it’s an adventure playground for all ages! With attractions for kids, teens, and adults alike, this wonderful marine theme park and premiere educational grounds will be an unforgettable experience for everyone. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be creating great memories, learning about the world’s wildlife, and spending quality time with your loved ones.

If you've always wanted to learn more about marine life or want to experience a day of wonder and excitement at Manila Ocean Park, you're in the right hands. We've got a rundown of the park’s most exciting attractions to help you choose which ones would pique your interest the most.

First up is the massive Oceanarium which houses 14,000 sea animals, all of which are native to the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Manila Ocean Park is one of the world’s biggest public aquariums so you’re bound to see some of the most majestic creatures swimming overhead.

Although there aren’t any singing whales to give you a Manila concert experience, feel free to say hi to the sharks and stingrays as you make your way through the breathtaking underwater tunnel.

You don’t need to travel all the way to Antarctica to see penguins up close because Manila Ocean Park has its very own penguin park facility. It’s actually the first in the country and gives you a glimpse of what it's like in the coldest continent in the world.

Aside from meeting the adorable Humboldt penguins, visitors get to learn more about Antarctica and get merry at the Christmas Village located in this exhibit.

Are you afraid of worms, frogs, or insects? Try to conquer your fears at the World of Creepy Crawlies.

Learn more about their significance in the ecosystem and why there’s nothing to fear. In fact, they’re fascinating little critters that deserve some appreciation, too. After getting acquainted with the crawlies, build the courage to hold one of the lizards for a photo.

Check out the amazing tricks and stunts of our feathered buddies at Manila Ocean Park. Not only will you get to watch these bright birds perform, but you’ll also get the chance to participate in their antics.

Prepare to be astounded by their showmanship and hear what the macaws, cockatoos, and eagles have to say about saving the environment. These birds could very well pull off their very own Manila concert considering how talented they are.

The show doesn’t end when the birds fly out. Right after the All-Star Bird Show, you’ll want to catch the Sea Lion Show. Here you’ll meet the charming South American sea lions who are championing environmental conservation.

Enjoy their performance as they show you their incredible talents, which include dancing, balancing, and playing with the ball. Who knows? You might be one of the lucky ones who gets a kiss from these lovable creatures.

Groove with the jellyfish at Manila Ocean Park’s Jellies Exhibit. These gelatinous-looking creatures are among the most attractive sea organisms and are commonly referred to as “dancing sea fairies” because of the way they glide in the water.

Marvel at the variety of species as they keep in sync with the enthralling display of multimedia elements and symphonic music. The spectacle feels like you’re watching a Manila concert underwater.

Once you’ve exhausted the aquariums, head on over to the Super Toy Collection. The kids and kids at heart can explore the largest toy collection of Philippine superheroes and awaken their inner heroes in this extremely fun-filled and interactive zone.

Take pictures next to the life-sized figures and then dive right into the ball pit located at the exhibit.

While technically not a Manila Ocean Park attraction, we recommend dining in at one of the bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Our favorite is the alfresco dining at the White Moon Bar where you can enjoy flavorful Asian dishes with a view of the swimming sea lions. It’s truly an experience unlike any other.

As an alternative, you might also want to unwind at the Club H20 Lounge Club and take in the view of Manila Bay in the evening as you sip on a refreshing beverage.

Whether you're a local tourist or just visiting the country, Manila Ocean Park offers an oceanic adventure that's suitable for everyone! First-timers are in for a treat as there’s a lot to do at this marine theme park. Plan your trip ahead so you don't miss anything!
