The Park, which is located at the SM Seaside Mall, will be open from Thursday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to its General Manager Hitesh Sampat.  

“We are thrilled to welcome our guests back,” Sampat said. 

Guests will have the opportunity to once again experience the wonders of wildlife with their families, stroll among diverse habitats, take part in fun, educational activities and visit the Park's newest residents; the baby bearded dragons, and moray eels, all of whom were born during the lockdown, he added.

Guests are also encouraged to stay connected online by tuning into the park's weekly Facebook livestream which comes with a fun quiz for viewers to test their knowledge.

Cebu Ocean Park operation’s manager Andrea Bruno said that the Park’s management provides a safe and educational experience made for all ages, where they can learn about the magic of animal life.   It might be different from past visits, but she is confident that the Cebu Ocean Park family - guests, staff - will help make ‘different' feel awesome.”

With the Cebu Ocean Park reopening on November 5, it will be limiting visitor capacity, and would be implementing health and safety measures recommended by state and local officials to provide a safe environment for humans and animals alike, Bruno bared.
