Manila Ocean Park : info and guided tour

Overview of Manila Ocean Park

Manila Ocean Park is a marine park and leisure center located in Manila, behind the Quirino Grandstand, in the Ermita area. Set along the bayfront, it combines an aquarium, exhibition spaces and themed attractions focused on marine life, with direct access to the waterfront and views over Manila Bay.

The site has become one of the best-known leisure attractions in the Philippine capital thanks to its large oceanarium and immersive routes dedicated to marine animals. It is especially popular for its glass tanks, educational areas and the variety of its displays, making it both a family-friendly and spectacular visit.

Its architecture focuses on the indoor experience, with themed paths, observation tunnels and spaces designed to showcase marine species. The visit lets you discover sharks, rays, jellyfish, tropical fish and other iconic species, in a setting where visual presentation plays an essential role.

Manila Ocean Park is also linked to the city’s goal of offering a modern marine attraction in Manila, complementary to the historic sites in the city center. Its location near the bay and the Quirino Grandstand strengthens its urban identity, while offering a break to discover the underwater world in the heart of the metropolis.
