Album Description:

Hope you enjoy this album despite my difficulty taking photos because of flash restrictions & low light levels inside the Oceanarium. My highlight? The Living Ocean's 25-meter glass tunnel walk, of course!

    • The Manila Ocean Park (MOP) is the world’s first marine theme park to adopt a "fusion concept", housing an oceanarium, a mall, a boutique hotel and open marine habitats. It is a marine park that is among the most advanced ocean parks in Asia. MOP is 8,000 square meters and The Oceanarium features more than 20,000 marine inhabitants of approximately 300 species. And unlike other oceanariums in Asia, MOP gets marine species from the country’s own waters. On a daily basis, an appoximately 10,000 guests can be accommodated in the park. The Oceanarium features an assortment of colorful fishes and invertebrates indigenous to the Philippines and Southeast Asia contained in 12,000 cubic meters of seawater. The Oceanarium’s main attraction is a 25-meter long, 220 degree curved acrylic walkway tunnel. Visitors are able to explore the secrets of the ocean, and are surrounded by such underwater wonders without actually getting wet. MOP is owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China.
