january 11 is my son's third birthday. last year we celebrated it at Mcdonalds but this year we just went out as a family. the three of us went to MANILA OCEAN PARK. my wife didnt expect this but our son did enjoy very very much. the look on his face with amazement. he was saying the word fish maybe for a billion times har har har. i can say that Manila Ocean Park is not yet that big yet and the tour takes only 30 minutes but we stayed there for more than three hours and when we left my son still wanted to stay.
i found a clip at youtube to see what i am talkng about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP0_02aiPw8
i also attach a picture of my son enjoying. i wish i can put more pictures for you to see how he enjoyed.

Hello se7enthbird,
Happy Birthday to your son! How old is he actually? Two? I have a two years old son too. He love animals especially cat. Whenever he sees one, he will try to differentiate whether it is Mommy cat, Daddy cat or Adam cat (his name is Adam) He knows fish pretty well too. I brought him to Aquaria last month and he was very excited to see all kind of fish there.

he turned three already. i am planning to buy him an aquarium too. it is very relaxing to see fishes swimming. how manytimes in a month do you clean your tank? our neighbor has a cat and a dog. my wife has asthma so we cant keep those kinds of animals. thanks a lot for the response

I can see the way your son smile that her really enjoyed your tour over manila ocean park. This is something new to a toddler like your son and toddlers are really observant and they like to see new things around them. this trip have really fascinated the young mind of your son and seeing different kind of of species of under ware creatures makes his young mind more familiar with the new things learned. Thanks for sharing the video the collection looks really good though it may not as rich as other ocean park but this would give young ones the opportunity to see underwater creatures. thanks. your son would most likely expect a new adventure on his next birthday.

yes it is not as rich as other ocean park but the children wouldnt know the difference. for them it is all a great experience to be that close enough to fishes without getting wet. specially when the fish swims near the glasses he isreally very happy to be that close. thanks a lot for the response

My 2and 1/2 year old grand daughter is fond of fish as well. She enjoys a lot viewing differrent kind of fishes at the aquariums. Everytime we pass by an aquarium display she'll joyfully shout "fish, fish". I wish I could bring her to the Mla Ocean Park soon. For sure she will have a very wonderful experience like your son did.

hello se7enthbird,
What you did to your son's birthday was great. He did really enjoyed a lot and that matters most. It's his special day and he really deserve that.
Kids love adventures and doing a lot of interesting and new things. They'll appreciate it more with you around. Our time to them means a lot to them. Not to mention our love and attention too.
Belated happy birthday to your son. Enjoy every moment while he still a kid. Time flies, you'll never notice that. When he's big already, he has his own world.
