Two days after the anticipated inaugural, we had the chance to see this one of a kind aquatic world. My husband and I along with our three children headed to Las Farolas to experience how it is to be inside the so called labyrinth-like fish museum with mysterious pathways.
Pye paid for our admission fees : 2 adults for P800.00 and 3 discounted student-rates for P900, a total of P1,700.00 for an exciting tour inside the amusement center that showcases ornamental freshwater fishes bred from captivity to prevent some species from extinction due to natural adversity and indiscriminate human acts.

As we enter the oceanarium, we were welcomed by friendly usherettes. According to them, we're the second group of visitors who came that morning of April 26.

This latest attraction in Pasig City opens up a whole new world for general public to enjoy. It is envisioned to be a tourist destination. It can definitely captivate the hearts of local or foreign travelers.
We were allowed to take pictures inside using only cameras without flash. Good for us, we brought along our iPad 3 and these are the awesome shots my daughter Lizette had captured.

Once you set feet on its interior grounds, you will be amazed with the world-class design. Lagoons are situated at the center of 2 two-story hubs and around them are aquarium tanks displaying the wealth of aquatic resources... freshwater fishes coming from different continents of the world.

We were privileged to meet the Chief Operating Officer of Las Farolas in the person of MR. BERNIE JALANDONI REPALBOR. He even accommodated my request of taking a photo with him.

There is an ongoing building construction for a Las Farolas here in Davao City. =)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that! I'm sure, it's going to be a much bigger museum with more exotic and bizarre fishes.
Deletejust like manila ocean park? i hope they will add more activities and attractions soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI read about this place in PAL magazine and glad its finally open. I'd like to see the place and I think it's very similar to Singapore's River Safari.
ReplyDeleteLas Farolas has a lot of fish species. That is an interesting place especially if one is interested in fish.

Wow... seems like a great place for family bonding. I am also surprised to know that there's an ongoing Las Farolas construction here. Will definitely check that out :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks very promising. Pero parang mas expensive sya sa Manila Ocean Park. But I might visit this place some time soon. Thanks for letting me know:)
ReplyDeleteAll along I thought that Las Farolas offered Free Admission. =P It's quite expensive still. Anyway, the first thing that came into mind when I read and saw the photos was Ocean Park. Is it comparable though?
ReplyDeletewow .. open na pala .. I ve seen this before but it was under construction palang . how i wish to visit the place and count the number of fish species they have . :D
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in Pasig??
ReplyDeleteWow! this looks like a virtual tour of the place.
I thought Oceanarium is the only one to showcase exotic fishes in big aquariums from here. :)
Wow! That's another place to visit within the metro. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWOW! I should visit this amusement center with my baby girl-for sure matutuwa yun sa mga big fishes
ReplyDeleteNow ko lang narinnig ito. But seems a nice oceanarium. Definitely, papasyalan ko ito.
ReplyDeleteA must-see place for students! so sure, maraming educational tour na magaganap dyan.
