Manila Ocean Park - The Oceanarium

My family and I have seen terrific shows and scenery on the cable and internet and my daughter is always mumbling and forcing us to see one locally. She loves water, oceans, beaches, but I stopped her because too much sun is bad for the skin. Well, we had sunburns last summer due to overexposure on the beach at Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and Boracay. 

Luckily, my daughter (Jaha) spotted the Manila Ocean Park and until then, she had not stopped wooing me in purchasing tickets for the park. Therefore, as a parent, there is a special spark and touch in my heart while my daughter does the puppy eyes request. Moreover, I search the promotional vouchers online on where I could get discounts for the family field trip. Timing that Ensogo (www.ensogo.com.ph) offers that discount vouchers and I did purchased 3 tickets for the much awaited event.

That day has come and the family is set to enjoy and create memories for our dear child.


Our first stop is the Oceanarium and the place greeted us with the marvelous hanging vines of a tree. I am not sure what it is called.

After the stairs, there are lots of lined up individual aquariums with different species inside.

This is not a starfish, it is called a seastar as described by the man showing this  in front of us.

Stonefish

The lionfish, one of  Jaha's favorite fish.

As we reached the middle part of the oceanarium, bigger aquariums with bigger fishes are stored inside. The design is like a sunken ship that fish migrated to live on it.

This is the second to the last view wherein vast container were filled-up to accommodate different species of sea creatures.
