March 30, 2013, It's summer time here in Manila and The Manila Ocean Park opened its latest attraction, Trails to Antarctica, the country’s first and only experience to see real Penguins. These Penguins are called the Humboldt Penguins that came from the west coast of South America. These Penguins were really fun to watch, they swim so fast. Seems they love being photographed because there were posing for the cameras and they eat a lot. We had a chance to avail of their feeding promo (250 pesos and up) which includes at least 2 fishes , some souvenir shots with the Penguins and have the best experience to get closer to the them.
The 2nd another included attraction inside Trails to Antarctica is the Slide O’ Fun which is a big and long “Ice” slide. It was cool to go down this slide, you just have to be patient in lining up and waiting for your turn by pair and one ticket, one ride only.
The 3rd and last attraction is the Snow Village. We were advised that this should be the last stop to visit because this would also lead you to the exit of the whole Trails to Antarctica attraction. We entered by batches. We were given jackets and warned not to use cameras and other electronic gadgets like cellphone, IPAD, etc. inside the Snow Village for it’s temperature was -15 degrees. They were not liable to any damage that can happen to your gadgets but you can take pictures at your OWN risk!
They have their own photographer which can take your souvenir shots inside the Snow Village and photo is priced at 100 pesos per print. The Snow Village was just a very small area with benches, snow scenery and decors. It is really super cold. It was like getting inside a freezer and for just less than 30 minutes we can’t help but shiver! Ice floor was also a bit slippery so it’s good to wear appropriate shoes for it.
Trails to Antarctica is a cool, fun, interesting attraction here in Manila Ocean Park for the whole family and your friends.
