Oceanarium

Two weeks ago, we went to the Manila Ocean Park. The Oceanarium is not as big as I imagined. The self-guided tour would take about less than two (2) hours, chikahan and picture-taking included, and before you know it, you're already heading towards the EXIT door! Yup, bitin! For PhP400, I think it’s too much.

Flash photography is not allowed inside the oceanarium because it scares the fish daw. But I heard in Sentosa (Singapore), it’s okay to use flash! So, ano ba talaga?! Baka matapang yung mga fish dun, nyahaha! But as we all are famous for camwhoring, everybody kept clicking those shutter buttons away, others forgetting to turn off their cameras' flashes or makukulit lang talaga ang mga lahi! There is not enough light inside the oceanarium, so set those cameras to their highest ISO setting and use your widest aperture opening. Here are some photos I managed to take inside the oceanarium. The kids, of course, had so much fun!

There is an activity center at the second floor, including a fish spa (whatever that is). The entire park is not yet finished. There are ongoing construction and renovation here and there. Basta, everything is not yet in order.

By the way, don’t go there on a Sunday, the place can get pretty crowded, especially inside the 'tunnel', everybody seemed to want to stay there forever! For me, it's the best part of the oceanarium. And the sea creatures are just so amazing! - of course, courtesy of the greatest Artist of all time!
