Animals will always be my baby girl's fave attraction adventure since then, she loves it every time I let her see some animal pictures in books especially those fascinating marine life forms and other extraordinary small creatures. That is why bringing her in Manila Ocean Park got me very excited and letting her see a wonderful splashy experience directly in front of her eyes. And by the way, visiting Manila Ocean Park is not my first-time experience, it is my third-time experience, and yes that's how you can tell how much I am really into marine creatures and other animals since then.

Manila Ocean Park is one of the most popular indoor aquarium attraction here in the Philippines, with their lots of services to offer I would really recommend it to everyone over and over again. Over and over again because I keep on coming back in Manila Ocean Park over and over again LOL!

And as what I have said in my previous blog, that I and my baby are 'March babies'! So aside from other adventures that we have encountered in our birth month, I would like to share with you guys our advance birthday celebration in Manila Ocean Park through jpeg and mp4 form.

Because it is my third time in Manila Ocean Park and in my previous visits I have noticed that there are lots of people coming almost every day. That is why I decided to bring AJ on weekdays instead on a weekend and we went early in Manila Ocean in order to avoid long lines.

So here are the attractions we have experienced in Manila Ocean Park

Oceanarium

Oceanarium is one of the main attraction in Manila Ocean Park. Seeing extraordinary sea species in different sizes, shapes and from the different family was extravagant for my baby.

My baby was so amazed at the tunnel aquarium with fishes swimming in both sides and on top of us freely inside the big tanks.

As we pass by in different aquariums I teach my baby girl with their names and some other stuff about the sea.

Jungle Trek

My baby girl's most fave part in the jungle trek is seeing some crocodiles in real life! She was a bit scared at first but later on, she had managed her fear and I have made her feel safe by hugging her tight.

Sea Lion Show

It was a bit exhausting walking from the oceanarium and going outside to see the 'Sea Lion Show' especially when you are carrying a toddler. We rashed ourselves to the Sea Lion Show after we have entered the Oceanarium experienced because we wanted to get in with their morning first show.

We were so amazed how smart the sea lions were, they really know how to entertain the audiences through dancing and attentively listening to their trainers. I have been thinking about their names lately but too sad I am not so good with names LOL.

However, the set up was too hot for a moody toddler and my baby girl was about to throw herself into the water with the sea lions and we stopped her and boom!! her tantrums got away like a prisoner. We never got the chance to finish the show and never had a close-up picture with the sea lions.

Trails to Antarctica

From the scorching heat of Mr. Sun in the Sea Lion Show, we eventually brought ourselves inside the Trails to Antarctica attraction. I know it was not a healthy choice to suddenly change her body temperature but it was the only way to ease her tantrums for a moment.

As we enter the place we noticed some informational frames on the wall and it was so educational to all.

Jellies Exhibit

The Jellies Exhibit was also one of Aj's fave place because she was so amazed how colorfully glowing aquariums in front of her full of different kinds of jellyfishes. Looking at them feels like we were watching lots of sea enchantresses.

World of Creepy Crawlies

The World of Creepy Crawlies was not totally Aj's fave part because she was too afraid getting nearer with the other slimy creatures. Still and all, she managed to continue watching the other types of crawlies until the end of the attraction.

Birds of Prey Kingdom

The Birds of Prey Kingdom was one of my awaited part because I have never experienced the site on my previous visits to Manila Ocean Park. The said bird attraction display a whole flock of Philippines' amazing lawins.

Aj was so amazed at the other birds flying around the site with their strong wings and she even tried to reach the other one inside her cage, good thing the bird was in a good mood and never got the interest to hurt Aj's arm.

The caretaker was so good and he even let me feed one of the birds by letting it rest on my arm with a thick leather arm covering to protect my arm from the bird's sharp claws.

After we enjoyed the experience inside the Birds of Prey Kingdom the crew guided as to continue into the All Star Bird Show in which was located same with where the Sea Lion Show happened. We rashed ourselves on the site but there were too many people already and it was noon time and the shady areas were taken already so I decided not to get inside because I am totally sure that Aj will have tantrums again.

Penguin Talkshow

Roaming around the whole area of Manila Ocean Park was quite exhausting and the outdoor sites were so hot! So I decided to take Aj to the Penguin Talkshow instead. Good thing, the room was airconditioned. We got inside too early and before the show started, Aj got bored and restlessly running around the area. And when the time the talk show started Aj was listening attentively on the first 15 minutes but eventually she got so bored and almost throw her tantrums out so we didn't finish the show until the end.

Sharks & Rays Dry Encounter

The Sharks & Rays Dry Encounter site is located on the outside corner of the building so I decided to let it on my last priority for our day's itinerary. In this part, Aj was quite relieved from all the exhaustion brought by the scorching heat of the sun. She was so happy seeing and touching sting rays in live!

Fish Spa

After the Sharks and Rays Dry Encounter I've noticed that the Fish Spa was just in front of it, so we decided to get inside and let Aj experience some fish spa moment. We enjoyed it and Aj enjoyed the cool water with lots of fishes coming over her. However, a crew approached as and asked me if we belong to those elementary school group visitors and I said no, so he told me that we were not allowed there because the Fish Spa attraction that is included in our itinerary was located on the upper part of the building. And we were so tired to go back inside just to have some fish spa, so we eventually sneak ourselves out from Manila Ocean Park and head to our condo for a rest.

Sum Up Thoughts

The place was amazing and the extraordinary attractions were wonderful, however, having a toddler with you all along was never easy. Especially with those pacing around the building looking for the other attractions that are located on different floors and areas. The outdoor experiences were Aj's not the favorite one because of the heat of the sun, toddlers are not so angelic in warm temperature places.

And because we came so early, we finish the morning attractions at 2:00 pm, there were lots of people around already, and I guess their air conditioning system couldn't handle lots of warm bodies inside the place, and one more thing also, my toddler was not in the mood already, I guess she was too exhausted and she needed her afternoon nap. So we decided to head to our rented condo and not wait until 6 pm for the Symphony Evening Show. Six pm time is what they call the wildest rush hour time in Manila and instead of going back again to Manila Ocean Park, me and my baby ended our night cozily hugging in our cool rented place.

That's all for now, hope you have enjoyed reading our Manila Ocean Park Birthday Experience
