Oceanarium

The oceanarium did not disappoint! It was included in the $10 fee that we paid and it had so many different kinds of fish and underwater sea life that I had never seen before! There was room after room filled with all kinds of fish. I saw every fish that inspired the makers of Finding Nemo! There was also an underwater tunnel that gave you 220 degree experience in the water.

After you come out of the Oceanarium you will pass what looks like a little ticket booth. If you give them 150php (about 3 US dollars) and your name they will give you 40 minutes in the fish spa.

What’s the fish spa you ask?

It’s a pool that is filled with thousands of fish a little smaller than the size of a dollar bill. The pool is filled with maybe 2 feet of water and for your 40 minutes you side one the side of the pool and put your feet in. The fish will all swarm to your feet and begin eating you... no seriously they will eat all of your dead skin off the top of your feet, the bottom of your feet, and even from in between your toes! It tickles like crazy, and I’m not a ticklish person. At first it even hurts a little. But once you get used to it, after about 20 minutes of putting your feet in for a few seconds and quickly pulling them out, it starts to feel nice. Just don’t think of it as letting live animals eat you and don’t watch them do it either or you will never start to enjoy it. The end result was surprisingly worth it. The skin on my feet, ankles, and lower legs was really smooth after wards and I had a blister on my ankle, from all of the walking, was completely gone after the 40 minutes!
