I don't go out that much as an introvert, but when I became a mom I realized that if we have the time and money to travel, we should at least let our Lil B experience the things we can't afford when we were young.
Last year, we spent the Christmas Holidays in Cebu with my in-laws and I told my husband of we can ask his father to come along with us so he can spend time with Lil B too. I checked what will be the nearest attraction or destination that Lil B will like. She likes animals so, Cebu Ocean Park it is.
Entrance fee and discount
The entrance fee varies during weekdays and weekends. We visited on Saturday, so the ticket costs 800 per head. We were kind of hoping to avail a discount but when we asked, the discount from my husband's work is not available anymore. I was also surprised that we must also pay Lil B's entrance fee. Unfortunately, kids under 2ft are free of charge.
Free photo
There's a photo booth right at the entrance wherein you can get 2 photos for free. However, you can't get a hard copy of the pictures but you can download them online.
There are photographers inside each attraction too. However, one photo costs more. 300 for each copy. My husband purchased a photo so we can give his parents a hard copy.
Attractions
Fish section
Reptile section
Bird section
Oceanarium
And here's a picture of me and my husband, just the two of us. I missed our alone dates hahaha!
We kind of felt bad because we came there around 4 pm and they closes at 6 pm. We met my husband's friends before we visited Ocean park. We were supposed to have coffee with his friends at the other mall near Sm Seaside but due to traffic, we just decided to make a U-turn and go back to SM Seaside.
Bird show
Unfortunately, we weren't able to watch the bird show. If we did, I am sure that Lil B will love it. The last bird shows that day is at 4pm4 must when we arrived.
My FIL needs to go back home because it's my MIL's feeding time. We just roamed around the gift shop and purchased ref magnets for Lil B.
I wished that we could've arrived earlier. The bird show was the main attraction as they said. We still had fun though, Lil b likes animals. I haven't been to Manila Ocean Park and I don't know if there's a big difference in the attractions.
And that's how we ended our 2022!
