Aquatica Light and Water Show

Last April 5, I was able to see a preview of the Aquatica light and water show at the Manila Ocean Park grounds.

Aquatica is one of the parks newest attractions and it was quite amazing to see such technology in the Philippines. The stadium is located in the open area of the facility and can probably seat a hundred or so people comfortably (I think!!!). It reminds me of the stadiums in other amusement parks in the US, only without the deep pools for whales or dolphins. Nonetheless, it is quite impressive.

The show featured the story of the Maiden of the Sea where there were human dancers and digital images of fishes, dolphins and mermaids telling a tale about caring for our environment. I liked how the lights shone through the water and the beams were quite mesmerizing as water shot through the air. It reminded me of the fish pond we had in our old house in Urdaneta where we had a waterfall cascading down and the pond light would make the water dropping so captivating.

The downside to the show is that it can only be viewed at night. Also, as a preschool teacher, I feel the musical score and the story line is too adult for my audience, but gradeschoolers may appreciate it more.
