First i would like to invite you to have a peek in my latest entry at Ambothology (my photoblog) – ihip ng hangin.
It seems that Manila Ocean Park is getting more popular from people all over the country. This is first in the Philippines and “claimed” as the biggest in Asia. When it was announced, Filipino people can’t wait to see this newly built tourist attraction located at the back of Luneta Grandstand. It’s an opportunity for families instead of visiting Hongkong and Singapore.
Last month I was invited to visit Manila Ocean Park. I am very excited to come and see how it looks like.
I have no complains to long file of people waiting to get their tickets, but I observed there’s only one cashier serving to hundreds of people on the line.
Air-conditions are not enough to supply hundreds of people. It’s really hot! We stayed for two hours inside the park, but actually if you try to walk from the very start to end, it will only take you 30 minutes. And because there’s a lot of people looking at the aquariums and taking photos, you need to wait for your turn.
Going to the second floor is a chance to see Manila Bay at the back of the building. One thing I noticed was a bunch of garbage floating at the bay area.
I hope the management of Manila Ocean Park would give attention on this. If not, “nakakahiya naman sa mga turistang bumibisita dito.”
I understand Manila Ocean Park isn’t finish with the overall construction of the building, but given a chance to rate Manila Ocean park from 1-10, I would give them as low as 5 points.

It wasn’t as nice as it’s supposed to be, and yeah, a bit overcrowded. But I enjoyed it, nonetheless.
Nice photos, btw.

hahanap nga ako ng time para makapunta sa Ocean Park. mas maganda siguro kung weekdays noh? para wala mashadong tao.

That’s a little disappointing to see. I’ve been to Ocean Park in Hong Kong. It was really really nice. I would have expected something more or at least at par with Ocean Park Hong Kong.
