Terrible restaurant
Terrible food. Service was poor, hot food was cold when served and completely out of standard even for an average Filipino restaurant. Meat of beef shank was tough and tasteless, pho bo was tasteless with a few shreds of beef, lichon kawali was cooked overnight, both the external and the meat was tough like chewing over night overcooked meat. Chicken lollipop tasted like expired meat, the batter of the calamari was cold and calmari was unfresh. Forget about eating there, any choice at the nearby SM Seaside mall is better.

Ok on a hot day or if it’s raining.
Firstly the admission fee is 800p not 80 dollars as trip adviser tried to get you to book up at. Trip adviser is a rip off Not the best aquarium by a long way, the glass needed cleaning and photographers in the way wanting to take picture. The penguin area is a mess and should not house them. 4 disheveled looking birds in an indoor enclosure no fresh air with people popping up in the middle to feed them for a photo. A very small pond for them in any other country this would be cruelty. All the staff very pleasant as usual except the penguin cafe who were for a better word rude. Maybe because it’s the last place before the international gift shop full of plastic to take home.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. From the details in your review, it appears that your comments mainly relate to the attraction itself, its admission fee, facilities, and your experience at the venue rather than to a tour or service provided by our company. We have also been unable to identify a corresponding booking with us based on the information available. We therefore believe this review may have been posted on our Viator product by mistake. Nevertheless, we appreciate you sharing your experience and hope that the feedback regarding the attraction reaches the appropriate venue management.

Cebu Ocean Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Cebu Ocean Park cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cebu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cebu Ocean Park take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cebu is not rushed.
Is Cebu Ocean Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cebu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cebu Ocean Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cebu Ocean Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cebu Ocean Park?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cebu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cebu and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cebu Ocean Park start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cebu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cebu?
+
On Outty we rank every Cebu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Watching in Sumilon Island with Ocean View Resort Tour, Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Sumilon Sandbar & Pescador Island with Sardines, From Cebu: Oslob Whale Shark Swimming & Moalboal Sardine Run Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cebu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cebu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Lunch Buffet (P299) or Rice Meals (Starts from P99); and Tour Guide (available if requested). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 323 listed pickup locations in and around Cebu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cebu Ocean Park?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Cebu Ocean Park wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
