Anaheim Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 A new attraction at the Manila Ocean Park is now open. It's called JELLIES: DANCING SEA FAIRIES. An exhibition of assorted Jellyfishes synchronized with music and lighting effect giving a sense of seeing 'aliens' from a different world. The amazing Jellyfishes with its translucent gelatinous body reflects light giving an enchanting glow to their appearance. I am delighted that these sea wonders which brought awe in Ocean Parks of the world are now here in the Philippines specifically at the Manila Ocean Park. Manila Ocean Park is located behind the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park, also near the historical Manila Hotel. Prices P150 per person (Adult and Child) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-QLGkX4WoQQ/StO88RWwn5I/AAAAAAAAB78/UM6RyyPfCFY/s400/7519_1238246430809_1068719127_773851_6950388_n.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-QLGkX4WoQQ/StO8tOXzpII/AAAAAAAAB7s/0PrFQ499gwE/s400/7519_1238244990773_1068719127_773849_6492331_n.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-QLGkX4WoQQ/StO8s371pcI/AAAAAAAAB7k/Xhy1LI0Y020/s400/7519_1238244950772_1068719127_773848_5754455_n.jpg I have seen the same Jellyfish attraction at the Ocean Park Hong Kong, it has the same concept, same design but different music played (at least, when I visited the place). The music played in Hong Kong, specifically at the Jellyfish columns, was fast-paced and upbeat synchronized with light colors. The music played in the Philippine counterpart is a slow orchestral music although giving a soothing effect while watching the Jellyfishes. Different strokes for different folks (or countries).

noypiblazer Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 did they lower their entrance rate? i was there a couple of new year ago and the rate is much higher than what is the latest post..... I think Anheim meant was P 150 for the jellies dancing sea fairies. it's still P 400 for the oceanarium (adult), P 350 for kiddies below 4.5 feet Quote Link to comment
jester911 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 visited the place last year, the kids loved it, medyo steep nga ung pricing pero gustong gusto nung mga bata, will try it out again next year since I heard na may dinagagdag daw na mga attractions Quote Link to comment

remoteworld Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) went there with my family last Apr 7th, very disappointing, too much media hype less stuff to show. (1) damn those queues, for 400bucks i must wait in line?(2) cartimar in a good day has better stocks and variety. (3) for 400bucks after a disappointing tour i sure deserve a short exit, but wait ... there's NONE. endure an uneventful long exit walk, hard selling the inhouse resto and souvenir shop.(4) compared to Sydney, Singapore, US and HK, ours is just an aquarium.(5) the petting area are supposedly the highlight of the tour, NONE. "you can't touch that" says the attendant. Hell for free you can touch anything you want to if you go to cartimar, even black tip sharks 3 ft long.(6) it's greedy to offer a service that's half-baked.(7) too few exhibits, nothing expectacular to brag about, obscene entrance fee. 3K+ in less than an hour, robbery I say.my kid asked the touring attendant what's the tagalog word for eel. well, the attendant didn't know so she went to the nearest eel in exhibit but there's no tagalog translation of eel there. last resort, she asked her supervisor. she couldn't name it either. then my kid say it's PALOS. now the attendants know it's palos. hehehe. it's been years they've been telling everybody they'll add more attractions. so far only commecial establishments are being added. more fish!

Guest megalodon Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's relatively expensive for the fish tour. Maybe management should lower it to 300 max for the package. Quote Link to comment
