About this tour
Cebu Ocean Park, at the SM Seaside complex in Mambaling, is the biggest oceanarium in the Philippines and an easy, weatherproof day out for families. The centerpiece is a 360-degree acrylic tunnel where sharks, rays, and schools of tropical fish glide overhead, but the park packs in much more: a jungle trek, a crocodile exhibit, an aviary with bird shows, and themed zones running through the Seven Seas.
Interactive add-ons let braver visitors do a Sea Trek helmet dive, feed lorikeets at the bird loft, or get up close with stingrays. There is even an Aquadining area where you can eat surrounded by glowing fish tanks. Scheduled feeding sessions and live shows run throughout the day, so it is worth grabbing a schedule on arrival.
The park is open daily from late morning, with weekday tickets cheaper than weekends and discounts for seniors and PWDs. It is centrally located and fully indoors and shaded, making it an ideal choice for a hot afternoon, a rainy day, or keeping kids happy between beach trips.
