Fantastic 5.0
my kids enjoyed our stay at Manila Ocean Park, its just that on food stalls on 2nd floor (singapore ???) they do not have service water and you are forced to buy bottled water, bottled tea or canned soda which are very overpriced (120php) and since outside foods or drinks are not allowed, you will get thirsty if you do not buy bottled drinks.

We love our Intramuros passports. It's a wonderful souvenir! The print and illustrations are beautiful. There's even a stamping feature like a real passport. The lady at the ticket booth was very kind and accommodating because she encouraged us to do the stamping ourselves for the building images. Just the process of redeeming the passport and using it at every location was already enjoyable. #achievements 😌

Booked the Viva Old Manila Walking Tour through Klook and had a great experience. Our guide, Russell, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights throughout the tour. We visited 8 stops around Intramuros, and each location came with its own unique history and significance. What I appreciated most was how Russell connected the stories to present-day Manila, making the tour both engaging and educational. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Manila and wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the city's rich history and culture.

Had a wonderful time at Ocean Park Aqua adventure Manila! We really enjoyed swimming and spending the day there. The facilities were well-maintained, the water was clean, and the slides were a lot of fun. Everything made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. Definitely a great place to visit with family or friends. I highly recommend Ocean Park Manila for anyone looking for a fun day out! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful experience at the Digital National Art Museum! The immersive digital displays were absolutely mesmerising and beautifully done. Every room had something unique to explore, making it enjoyable from start to finish. What made the visit even more special was seeing our 16-month-old daughter completely captivated by the lights, colours, and moving projections. She had just as much fun as we adults did, happily walking around and taking everything in. It was a fantastic family-friendly experience that kept all ages entertained. The venue was well-organised, clean, and the staff were friendly. If you’re visiting Manila, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. Whether you’re an art lover or simply looking for a unique family activity, this place is definitely worth a visit! ✨🎨💜

We left at 5:00 AM and arrived in Tagaytay at 6:45 AM. It was a pleasant ride all the way. We visited People’s Park in the Sky, Tagaytay Picnic Grove, Museo Orlina, Sunflower Farmville, The Gingerbread House, Twin Lakes, and Sky Ranch. For lunch, we went to Balay Dako. We finished by 3:30 PM as we didn’t intend to spend the entire day there. I would definitely recommend.

This tour is really nice and I recommend you book it. Our tour guide Sir Cedhie is very informative and very nice. He is very good in communicating about the tour and also shaeing all the history facts about Philippines. Also he answered all the questions asked by the tour participants. This is good for international travellers because the language he used is English. 10/10 for this tour 👍👍

What to know before visiting Manila

Quick snapshot of Manila and what draws visitors

Manila is a lively urban gateway where bookings cluster around family-friendly attractions and cultural experiences — zoos & aquariums, museums, attraction passes and water parks lead the way. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear busy spells that shape when places feel most crowded.

Best times to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, May is the peak month for demand while October sees the weakest booking levels. Prices drift through the year: Klook data shows January tending to be the priciest month and June typically the cheapest. Travellers seeking lower prices and smaller crowds will find better value and calmer visits in June and October, while those after peak-season atmosphere should aim for May. In general, demand and prices only sometimes move together here — the single busiest month (May) does not perfectly match the priciest month (January), so you can sometimes avoid the very highest prices while still enjoying lively city energy.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong typically finalise bookings only a day or two before travel, so Manila suits a relatively spontaneous trip. If you’re travelling in the peak month of May, consider locking in popular family-friendly experiences a few days earlier to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare timed-entry options and attraction passes in advance so you can plan a smooth, flexible itinerary.
