What it is
Manila Ocean Park is the Philippines' largest marine theme park, located at 666 Parade Avenue inside Rizal Park in the heart of Manila — steps from Manila Bay and Intramuros. The complex centers on a massive oceanarium featuring a 25-meter underwater tunnel where sharks, rays, and hundreds of fish species swim overhead. Beyond the main aquarium, the park spreads across themed zones and live-show venues, covering everything from Antarctic penguins to tropical birds to creepy crawlies. Standard admission packages bundle several of these zones together, while expanded bundles can add the Aqua Adventure water park or the Philippine Biodome. It's one of the most accessible big-attraction stops in Manila, manageable in a half-day and easy to reach from the Manila Hotel or Luneta Park area.
Highlights
- Oceanarium & Underwater Tunnel — a 25-meter acrylic tunnel lets you walk beneath sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, and over 14,000 marine creatures representing 277 species; an interactive touch pool with starfish and sea cucumbers sits nearby
- Trails to Antarctica: The Penguin Quest — walk-through exhibit featuring live Humboldt penguins in a climate-controlled habitat, paired with an educational display on Antarctic ecosystems
- Sea Lion Show — South American sea lions perform conservation-themed tricks and stunts in a dedicated arena; a souvenir photo opportunity with a sea lion is typically available after the show
- All Star Bird Show — macaws, cockatoos, and eagles demonstrate free-flight skills and audience-participation stunts, weaving in an environmental conservation message
- World of Creepy Crawlies — enclosed exhibit showcasing insects, frogs, reptiles, and other small creatures, with a hands-on Show & Tell session included in most packages
- Philippine Biodome — opened late 2024, a largely open-air dome encasing native Philippine flora and fauna; sold as an add-on or bundled with select packages
Good to know
- Duration: Most visitors spend 3–5 hours covering the standard bundle; adding Aqua Adventure or the Biodome can stretch the day to 6+ hours — plan accordingly
- Tickets: An 8-in-1 package (Oceanarium, Penguin Exhibit, Sea Lion Show, Bird Show, Stingray Dry Encounter, World of Creepy Crawlies, and more) is the most common offering; always check current bundle composition before buying as lineups can change
- Best time to visit: Weekday mornings tend to be less crowded; weekends and Philippine public holidays draw larger crowds — arrive at or before opening time to see shows without long queues

The exact lineup can vary by package tier and season, so confirm the current bundle contents when booking.
- Where exactly is Manila Ocean Park and how do I get there?
- Manila Ocean Park is at 666 Parade Avenue inside Rizal Park (Luneta), along Roxas Boulevard in Manila — within walking distance of Manila Bay and the Quirino Grandstand. The nearest LRT-1 station is United Nations, about a 10-minute walk away. Taxis and ride-hail apps like Grab drop off directly at the entrance, and on-site parking is available if you're driving.
