One of the best things about the holiday season is it gives people the chance to bond with the people most important to them. This typically ranges from holiday staycations to attending parties and reunions. However, the extra downtime the holiday provides can also be a great way for families and barkadas living in and around Metro Manila to try something new. If you’re looking for ways to make this holiday season a little more memorable, why not try these fun new activities over the course of your Christmas break:
Meet Penguins at the Manila Ocean Park
Ditch the usual Christmas spectacles and head over to the Manila Ocean Park for a unique holiday experience. Their Trails to Antarctica—the only penguin exhibit in the country—is a must-visit, offering you an up-close encounter with these adorable creatures. Watch as they waddle and slide on ice, making for a delightful show that kids and adults alike will enjoy. During the holidays, Manila Ocean Park also hosts a mesmerizing Mermaid Show. Be captivated as professional mermaid performers glide gracefully underwater, showing off their swimming prowess and impressive breath-holding skills. It’s a magical sight that will surely leave you in awe.

A project of the local government, Christmas by the Lake is a six-hectare outdoor attraction that features a Dancing Light Tunnel, light shows, concerts, and a village train.
