Manila Ocean Park
A marine-themed park behind Rizal Park, with an underwater tunnel aquarium, a penguin house and sea lion shows, popular with families.
Manila Ocean Park lies on the bay behind Rizal Park. Its centrepiece is the roughly 25-metre underwater tunnel aquarium, the Oceanarium, which displays about 14,000 marine creatures from Southeast Asian waters. Other attractions include a penguin house, a jellyfish exhibition, sea lion shows, bird shows and a nighttime light-and-water show, making it ideal for family outings. The park also includes the H2O hotel. Combination ticket prices vary with the attractions chosen, at roughly ₱1,000 to ₱2,000. It is a 10-minute walk from Rizal Park and can be scheduled alongside Manila Baywalk in the evening.
