Album Info:
The Php1.2 -billion Manila Ocean Park (MOP), adjacent to the seawall of Manila Bay & located behind the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park in Manila, is the world’s first marine theme park to adopt a "fusion concept", housing an oceanarium, a mall, a boutique hotel and open marine habitats. It is a marine park that is among the most advanced ocean parks in Asia. MOP is 8,000 square meters and The Oceanarium features more than 20,000 marine inhabitants of approximately 300 species. And unlike other oceanariums in Asia, MOP gets marine species from the country’s own waters. On a daily basis, an appoximately 10,000 guests can be accommodated in the park. The Oceanarium features an assortment of colorful fishes and invertebrates indigenous to the Philippines and Southeast Asia contained in 12,000 cubic meters of seawater. The Oceanarium’s main attraction is a 25-meter long, 220 degree curved acrylic walkway tunnel. Visitors are able to explore the secrets of the ocean, and are surrounded by such underwater wonders without actually getting wet. MOP is owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China.

We have an acquarium similar to that in Dallas, but not nearly as large or exotic. There is one part that is a plexiglass tunnel through the aquarium where you might see a stingray overhead. I would love to see this one.
