Manila Ocean Park Maiden of the Sea Acquatica Show

Manila Ocean Park’s Acquatica Show

by webby on Apr.01, 2010, under Blog, T-Files, Travel

Manila Ocean Park started operations since March 2008 but it was just recently that I went to visit this place. Before I thought, Manila Ocean Park was just for kids, but after my visit, I guess I was wrong because I really enjoyed my trip.

The Oceanarium at Manila Ocean Park

This summer 2010, visiting Manila Ocean Park is more favorable because they have their latest attraction which is the Acquatica Show. We availed their newest promo package – Moonlight Adventure at 500php per head. Ticket includes the Oceanarium (originally priced @ 400php) and Acquatica Show (I think priced @ 300php).

Manila Ocean Park's Acquatica Show

The Oceanarium is a showcase of different sea creatures; you can find the usual fishes like clown fish, sting ray, sharks as well as the extraordinary ones like garden eel, stone fish, lipstick fish, bloated fish and many more. Main attraction in Oceanarium is the open aquarium wherein you can see the fishes swim above you or on your sides. This creates a feeling of being underwater and swimming with the fishes without you being wet and killed by sharks. Haha.

Maiden of the Sea

But what amazed and entertained me most is the Acquatica Show entitled Maiden of the Sea. This is a show of lights, sounds, and fireworks coordination with added live performers on stage. The first time I saw this kind of show was in Singapore and it was entitled Songs of the Sea. Good thing we have this now here in Manila Ocean Park, there’s no need to go to Singapore to get this kind of entertainment.

Here are few shots of some highlights of the show. I really loved it! For first timers, you will really be awed and just say WOW! This Acquatica show has a story, which I must admit not able to fully understand it because I was so mesmerized and focused on the effects of the water, lights, and sound. Hehehe.

Maiden of the Sea 3

By the way, show starts at 6.30pm and upon entrance disposable raincoats are distributed for water protection. But you won’t really get totally wet while watching the show. Visit now Manila Ocean Park and get entertained in spectacular water, lights, and sound Acquatica Show. See You!

Great pics! I recently went there too. It was indeed a spectacular show! It was also my first visit and I left the place mesmerized. Unfortunately my camera shouted “battery empty” just right before the show started! Napaka-right timing di ba? hehe…Anyway, I have also included my Manila Ocean Park trip at my blog.

hi there! I think 500 promo will still be available in June, they don’t have any end date on their posters but you may call their hotline just to be sure. Regarding going back in the evening for the show, I think that is possible because the Acquatica Show is just outside the area, and has its own ticket and show starts only in the evening. Thanks!
