True to the saying that second time is a charm, revisiting The Manila Ocean Park proved to be a real charmer. From Nemo to the Fountain Show, the visit did not fail to provide entertainment as if it was my first time.
One thing I like about the park is its location. Being adjacent to Manila Bay, it creates an oceanic mood that adds to its advantage as a water theme park; aside from the fact that it provides a good view of the famous Manila Bay sunset. Another plus feature is the architecture. The park was designed to be navigation friendly for those who lack skill in finding directions. In fact, the park is segmented into different sections that correspond to the different areas of the ocean and marine system. Hence, journeying inside can be done in an orderly manner. The sections are as follow:
- Agos (Flow)- rainforest section; symbolizing the flow of water from the land to the ocean
- Bahura (The Reef)- coral reef section
- Laot (Fishing Ground)- section where big fish and rays can be found
- Buhay na Karagatan (Living Ocean)- features a 25 meter long walkway tunnel
- Kalaliman (The Deep)- features creatures that can be found in the Philippine Deep
- Pagi (Sting Ray)- section that is specially made for sting rays
- Shark (Pating)- features different species of shark
