Ocean Adventure

Experience :
Visited this place yesterday (5/28/2011) together with some friends. From Taguig, it took us around three hours including the breakfast stop at NLEX. It was raining ard that day and thought the park is closed for visitors but when we arrived, there are about a couple of hundred of people already inside. Actually, this year the park's 10th anniversary.

Ocean Adventure is an open-water marine park. From the center of Subic, it will take you about 20minutes. Upon entering main Subic freeport area, turn left from Petron. There are lots of signage that will help you find the place. You will pass through Subic airport and it's the same direction going to Zoobic Safari and about 5minutes from there.
The entrance fee for adults is P550. For children 12 years and below is P440 and Senior Citizen is also P440. Park hous is from 9am to 6pm daily but there are more visitors during weekends, as informed by one of the crews.

The main attractions of the park are the Dolphin Friends Show, Sea Lion Marine Patrol Show and the show at the Eco Theather. There are two aquariums also but not that big. You can also find there the most dangerous predator!

Inside the park, they have the Ilanin Bay Cafe for your lunch and the Ocean Treasures for souvenirs.

I enjoyed the dolphin show although I did not have the great view since I was standing just beside the main stage and that there a many people opening their umbrellas! Fortunately, I was able to catch some parts of the show while having our dinner at the Ilanin Bay Cafe. You can actually have a limited view from there.
Overall,  I think the park is worth visiting especially with your kids. As always, the shows are educational and teaches us to love animals and protect our environment. One of my friends even informed me that the show in the Sea Lion is better than what they had when the visited a Sea Lion show in Hong Kong!
