Manila Ocean Park doesn’t quite pull it

Manila Ocean Park in Roxas Blvd, Manila Philippins is the latest craze in town attracting throves of Filipinos day in and day out. For P400 (adult price, P350 kids below 4 ft.), you’ll get to see some nice looking fishes, a sharklet (mini shark), pa-ge (what’s the english word for this?). If you’re lucky you might get to see Dora and Nemo, or Francince Prieto or Fidel Ramos. :-)

I wanted to make this my usual long post about a place that I’ve visited. But I am afraid I could not do it this time, because a friend used to tell me – “if you can’t say anything notice, better say nothing at all”.

In other words – Manila Ocean Park may is not worth the price you have to pay just to see some nice looking ocean creatures trapped in several giant aquariums.

But if you still want to visit it, better do it on weekdays. You won’t enjoy it if you go there during weekends. The place is small and gets too crowded easily. You will be able to see everything in just a few minutes. In fact, the time you would spent lining up to get tickets is even longer than the time you would spend inside.

Hopefully, the management of the Manila Ocean Park comes up with something new and better when the Park is fully finished. Ok. enough said. Here are some pictures I took when I went there last Holy Thursday.

    The Ozeana restaurant is too expensive as well. The P595 buffet isn’t worth it.

    I’d have to agree with Mindanaoan that the restaurant is too expensive and their food’s not great. And to think that just after you pass by this restaurant there’s already Chowking and another fastfood joint waiting for you, where the food and prices are better.

    That’s why you’ll notice that when you go inside the restaurant, either to head to the park’s exit (yes, they’ve strategically placed the restaurant to be the only way to go if your finished with the sight-seeing) or to look at their menu, even their security guard is trying hard to convince you to try their buffet.
