The
Manila Ocean Park is the
Philippine's first world class marine theme park and oceanarium which opened on March 1, 2008. It is owned by
China Oceanis
Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China. It is located behind the
Quirino Grandstand at
Rizal Park. In terms of floor space, the 8,
000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) oceanarium is larger than the Sentosa
Underwater World oceanarium in
Singapore, and features a 25-metre
(82 ft) underwater acrylic tunnel.
Manila ocean park is an integrated urban resort with marine life attractions and aqua-themed hotel, the park is geared towards an all-year, all-weather destination for locals and tourists. Attractions include the oceanarium, sharks and rays encounter, mermaid swim experience, trails to
Antarctica, jellies exhibit, fish spa, glass bottom boat ride, back of the
House,
Birds of Prey Kingdom, acquanaut encounter with sharks and rays, sea lion show, symphony, bird show, and penguin talk show.
The main attraction is the Oceanarium which is home to 14,000 marine creatures from around 277 species, all indigenous to the Philippines and
Southeast Asia. Its sheer size and diversity makes it one of the world's best public aquariums. The Oceanarium is a stunning walkthrough of the watery depths featuring seven sections and containing 1,900 cubic meters of seawater. At the heart of the Oceanarium is the main attraction - a 25 meter long,
220° curved walkway tunnel with a spectacular underwater view of amazing sea creatures swimming overhead.
The water source for the Oceanarium is filtered water from
Manila Bay. A special process is done to ensure that the seawater is suitable to marine life. It has an educational activity area, unique
function rooms for special events and bi-level shark and stingray viewing facilities. Make sure to allot 1 whole day to enjoy this theme park.
