brewtality Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 yup, much better if you visit later para tapos na lahat. although andun na ata lahat ng fish at marine animals, yung resto at hotel hindi pa tapos. too bad maliliit lang yung sharks dun, mas ok sana kung may malalaki!

rgcotswold Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 i was a bit dissapointed with the place it quite small compare to other foreign oceanarium.... tapos we used the name manila ocean park if we try to compare it the one in hongkong it really pales in comparison... just goes to show n we are really a third world country... plus the price they charge even though the facility is half finish harang talaga... baka mag charge cla ng mataas pagnacomplete yong buong facility... they should have done a lot better..... considering n this is not the only oceanarium this part of the world.... more animals... like sea lion or even turtle should be included to educate the patron... ive spoken to the guide may mga buwaya daw s may rainforest display kaso wala p daw dumadating... plus the fact n the place is quite small kaya the que of lines stretches as far as the eye can see.... they should do the soft opening with limited ticket only.... or for group tour muna.... we never learn kasi hihintay p b tayo ng may magstampede nanaman.... we are really good at organize chaos talaga..... the place is very crowded specially on weekends.... don't be greedy and have a vision naman....as they say if you build it they will come.... sana pinalaki na nila ng husto.....

johnlove Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Everyone has high expectation from this place. Maybe there will be less criticism if the owners just renamed it as 'Luneta Aquarium'. Quote Link to comment
rgcotswold Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Everyone has high expectation from this place. Maybe there will be less criticism if the owners just renamed it as 'Luneta Aquarium'. yap it suit the place talaga.... at least it wont come out as a copycat of sort with other oceanarium around the region..... so that people will not compare it with it namesake abroad.... i Quote Link to comment
neraak Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 wala pa masyado makita. not worth 400 pesos. Quote Link to comment
johannlucas Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My visit there was very disappointing kasi yung mga staff dun mga walang GMRC!!! Napakabastos lalo na yung mga undercover security..... Kaya sa mga pupunta d2,Think 2wice para hindi masayang ang $400.oo nyo :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
shrike Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 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.

rgcotswold Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 you hit the nail right in the head.... sayang lang 400 pesos... mas madami pang hayop s cartimer... hehehe... i even have a better collection of fish in my aquarium.... Quote Link to comment

The chaotic crowd shouldn't be their excuse for being rude...very novice and amateurish ang dating nila. sa susunod kong visit sa MOP baka masigawan ko na yang mga hinayupak na yan :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
Mesohorny Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 puro palengke fish. i like cartimar better more varieties. 400 is TAGA! you can view aquarium at Q ave for free. Masmaganda pa! Quote Link to comment
jengjeng Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 well for me... it really needs a lot of improvement... went there around a few weeks back... it still has a lot to go for infrastructure wise.... lets see... the 1st thing = the place is so hot... (lobby area) maybe they could add a little more fans there...2nd= this place is just a walk through.. it only takes less than an hour to go to everyplace...(took us 30 mins for the tour and 15 for lining up)3rd = maybe they could add some benches for people to enjoy the place and to just relax.. (hmmm saw old people around that was dying to sit)4th = this can not be compared to other places... especially to well established one already like in HK..5th = the place is small.. they should really add more things around...(good thing a mall would be placed beside it)6th = it was a bit discouraging that the exit was through a small stairwell that was not really fixed or furnished... plus the fact that they hadto put a table just so that the customers would forcible walk through their gift shop...7th = in connection with 6 well the way to the exit involves walking through their fine dinning restaurant... hmmm kinda irritating i guess8th = the only good thing is that it is accessible for many FIL rather than going out of the country to see a nice aquarium.. and also i guess this would be a good place for grade school field trips (sad to say there were no personal tour groups/guides (unlike zoobic)... there were only staff positioned at different areas to assist the people around... but.. it ended up as if they were just guards...)9th = for the moment.. the price is not value for your money... it is how one member puts it... = ROBBERY just my opinion....
