If I were some dud from the country side, I would have rated this place a good 3. It's a clean and lavish place for people who want to go to malls that are not necessarily crowded. It's also a good place to hangout, and EAT. The restaurants there are good, especially Crisostomo and another Spanish-centred restaurant. The cinemas in this place are god cold so pack you jacket with you of you want to watch a film here. The cinematic experience is better here than anywhere else I've gone in the Philippines, so I always bring my jacket if feel the whim of going to the cinemas.

Went here again for the second time to watch The Script Live in Manila 2022 with their Greatest Hits Tour. This is our first time watching a concert after the pandemic. It was just a smooth flow when we entered the arena. Security guards and bouncers are visible in every place. Cops are also stationed outside the building and on the sidewalks. Even inside the arena, there are bouncers and ushers that use green lasers to control the crowd. We parked our car in the MAAX building. You have to bring your card with you for payment as there is no cashier at the exit of the parking. I wish we can go back here again to watch more concerts.

Our experience at the Mall of Asia Arena watching Disney on Ice was truly enchanting, and it added a magical touch to our anniversary celebration. While there were considerations like ticket prices and parking challenges, the overall atmosphere, production quality, and central location made it a memorable and joyous experience for our special day. 1. **Spectacular Venue:** The Mall of Asia Arena provided a stunning and spacious venue, creating an immersive environment for the Disney on Ice performance. 2. **Comfortable Seating:** Our seats were comfortable and offered a great view of the entire ice rink, ensuring that we didn't miss any of the enchanting moments during the show. 3. **Fantastic Production:** Disney on Ice delivered a spectacular performance, featuring beloved Disney characters, dazzling costumes, and impressive ice-skating routines that captivated both children and adults. 4. **Anniversary Celebration:** Watching Disney on Ice became a unique and delightful way to celebrate our anniversary, adding a touch of magic and romance to the special occasion. 5. **Accessible Location:** The Mall of Asia Arena's central location in Pasay City made it convenient for us to reach and explore other nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops before or after the show.

A world-class arena and events space in the Philippines. The photos were taken during the successful Miss Universe Philippines 2022 pageant.

Had my first ever concert at SM-MOA last Sept. 23, 2022 with The Script. It really was a fun experience viewing them live. I got the VIP ticket (as I should, haha) and damn baby it was worth the price. I sang along with all their songs and everything was so magical. I wish I'd seen them sooner. Nonetheless, the venue is so spacious and I just can't go back to the corner (iykwim, haha) anyway, it was just so good. My first ever concert experience, first ever SM MOA Arena visit. Wish I could go back here and experience many other concerts in the future. It was very fun. 🤍

Overwhelmingly huge venue. We attended a conference and we are at the General Admissions area. Very near the roof. Food from the outside is not allowed, exclusive for partner merchants inside. Ingress is seamless, the same with egress.

Good place for concerts! This specific event housed more than 20,000 people that night since it had a center stage setup. Planetshakers played here last July 22, 2023. Feast your eyes on these pictures and videos below.

Had a Gen Ad ticket so was seated on the fifth level, be mindful of where you're seated because the screens were too small and at an awkward angle, had I known I would've picked a better seat to see the stage. Wouldn't have been a problem if I was watching a ball-game instead though.

MOA has been expanding a lot since year 2019, and now they have the biggest IKEA Store in the world.

Conveniently located beside the Mall of Asia complex and accessible too. It's a huge arena that could accomodate large audiences for events and concert goers. I just noticed that there's not much food or drink options along the hallways, either that or I just wasn't able to really roam around. It's a great venue to hold concerts, fan meets, etc. I think proper and well-organized events would just really depend on the organizers/coordinators. Tip: nearby parking areas are in MOA square, or MAAX parking which is across the arena

This ARENA is very accessible and very closed to malls in pasay. One of the modern arena in the Philippines. Many food stalls inside. The down side is no food allowed outside. But its ok too many choices inside.

Experiencing Moa Arena for the first time was fantastic—completely hassle-free! Present your ticket, and everything unfolds seamlessly. The seats and atmosphere were truly electrifying. My family and I had an amazing time. Thanks a lot!

Watched Game 1 of the UAAP Season 86 Finals between my alma mater University of the Philippines and De La Salle University. UP won by a huge 30-pt.margin. Nice venue, my first time to be there. Convenient and comfy seats. Nice vantage point at the Lower Box section. Easy navigation within the arena, helpful ushers in all sections.

Nice stage and set up. We watch Disney on Ice last December and we truly enjoyed it.

Came here for the first time to watched semifinals and finals FIBA World Cup 2023. The arena is huge, similar to basketball arena for the NBA. The ambiance was great. Easy to reach here and next to the mall which easy to find food. It was a great experience!

We watched Volleyball Nations League matches here last Sunday. Very nice venue. It was easy to get to but we did not park there so I cannot comment on the parking. Very thoughtful layout and nice seats. The acoustics of the place was also very good.

Mall of Asia Arena is so accessible to the public. I am residing in Makati. I went there by riding an EDSA carousel in Buendia station, and it brought me straight to MOA. Inside MOA, there's a lot of food stalls/snack booths, so don't worry about getting hungry while watching a concert or a sports match. There's a small hole by the chair where you can place your bottled water or any drinks.

Nice theme park, not so many rides really but worth a visit still. Only 2 rides for those who love the adrenaline, otherwise it's mostly for kids. Prepare for long lines, 0,5-2 hours easily depending on the ride. Snow city felt surreal as a Finnish person hahaha. The food booths were many and quite affordable too. We spent 6 hours and managed to get in 3 rides and snow city.

We went here during my off. The tickets are expensive even for grown ups or kids, my mother and tita were even surprised with the price because before, on their era it's just affordable. Well I'm not surprised with our country because everything really increases instead of decrease. The only place that I'm not been was 'I forget what it called' place with the ice skates, I badly want to try it but it had seperate payment. Before they only pay once and they can try everything. There's a very long wait on the rides because there so many people went that day, also there's a height requirements for the rides. That's also what I didn't like. I'm thinking the tickets wasn't worth it because we didn't really enjoy it, it's like we been scammed. The queue was truely time consuming, I suggest to went there early when there's just few people so you can enjoy your visit. We almost tried all rides but not the dangerous ones

Our Star City experience was excellent except the fact that they close at 8:00 PM. The amusement park opens at 2:00 pm and closes 8:00 PM. So if you won't be there at 2:00 PM sharp then I doubt that you will enjoy all the rides. Also if you're planning to enter Snow World Manila inside the Star City, please bring extra footwear and clothes to change. We got really wet when we got outside.

It was good experience had spend almost full day inside the star city with friends. Cost per person is 699/- Peso's for all rides and if you include with snow world it will become cost of 859/- Peso's per person. We enjoyed everything there, food and snacks was not costly it's just on fine and good rates. If you visiting, you have to make sure you will visit after 6:00 PM you will get easy time to enter in every ride. Personally me i enjoyed to much cause i got sponsor by star city employees 😍

Had a great time with the family. Of course don't expect a first class theme park but it's good enough..food court can be improved though..

Avail bday discount! Amazing place for kids and young at heart.. surely ull enjoy this place... Food is afordable.. Some rides need height requirement

Food: Expensive; I never purchased food here. Wait Times: Long queues, especially for thrill rides. Best Ride: The Ferris Wheel. It's so high that I could see Manila Bay and the beautiful Manila skyline. The experience is even better at night. Star Frisbee was the best. I tried to remain calm, but I couldn't help but shout—it feels like you're being thrown into the air. After riding this, I felt numb to other carnival rides. I'll definitely try this again someday. 🎡🌟

A good place to spend time with friends. Recommended time to visit is during the weekdays so you can avoid long lines going to the actual ride. Starcity have redeemed itself well after the incident. Many foods choices and merchandise inside too! Kids will definitely love the place. Extreme rides are okay too. They make sure it's secured and safe to ride with.

The line in front is outrageous. I highly recommend that you book your tickets online for a very fast transaction. Waiting time will be 1hour or more of youre gonna be paying cash in the kiosk. The rides are good although some rides are obviously on a high volume of queue. Overall experience is 4.0 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you want to enjoy the rides, please see to it that you're not joining the field trip. Many of those who bought tickets for the snow world never had time to enter because of a very long queue. And they never return the payment. But, what's good in star city is, they have this airconditioning place aside from the rides outdoors that you can also enjoy. They also have a variety of food to choose from in their food court and there are also food stalls all over the place. So, don't be afraid coz you won't get hungry. Food is not allowed to be brought inside from the outside except water.

There has been some changes in the amusement park ever since the fire incident. The last time i went here way back 2011, only recently have I come back with my friend. It was a lot more fun than I anticipated. The lines were long during the day time since there were a lot of kids who are on their field trips. But you'll notice all of theme leaves at around 6. You also can’t take photos in snow world, unfortunately. Safety-wise, most of the rides are very secured especially the frisbee, some rides doesn't seem that secured though. Just hold on the railings for your dear life :) I also recommend not going during the weekend, as it is busier than usual. Based on experience, make sure to have your mouth closed when riding the jungle ride as it will most likely splash dirty grey water to you.

Good place to go with kids. Some of the attractions are a bit extreme. Do not recommend for older people.

The ideal time to visit is 11 am up to 10 pm if you want to try every single ride they have. Some of the nicest rides come with long fall-in-line scenes so you have to be patient. Better bring some water and snacks if you do not want to spend much, the food inside is pricey. Also, if you visit with kiddos, bring some socks for the playground portion.

Star City is a bustling hub of amusement in Manila, offering thrilling rides, family-friendly fun, and a festive atmosphere for an unforgettable experience.

"Nostalgic" would be the best word to describe my Star City experience after prolly like a decade since my last visit. The rides were still as fun although I think it's now mostly catered for little kids. If you're looking for a quick blood rush yet not too extreme and prefer to go somewhere just a little farther from home, you go here. It's very family friendly. There were no long lines awaiting you at the entrance. There were a lot of options for food, souvenirs, and pasalubong as well. It truly was nice to be back. (Tip: Make sure you had a good night sleep the day before going because some rides will get you pretty dizzy)

Always have fun visiting here. Great place to go for an entertaining day. We paid 699pesos per ticket, which was good value in my opinion. Rides were free when you entered and lots of internal venues like the dinasaurs, great fun!!

went there before the December rush. surprised that they only offer two price choice, 699 and 699 +250only. nice to see they've got lots of ride choices for kids and adult. might come back next year...

We visited the park on a weekend and surprisingly there were no lines for most of the rides. I was super excited to enter the park since it's my first time visiting again after it got burned down. Only to be let down because of the following attractions: I would not reccomend trying the scream avenue 4d rider coz we had to wait 30 mins for this ride and only to be disappointed with the corniest animation and nonsense story. For my pov we had to take the scratches from the monsters? Instead of running away? Dinosaur alive was laughable since the animatronic and the sound of the dinosaur was not in sync and the props were hilarious, they literally have a water filter and a tablet inside a pc case to make it look like a "biochemistry analyzer". The time warp attraction was also a let down, they literally have images that are obviously from google and they have expanded the image and made it look pixelated. The 3d murals were also atrocious. For me personally, star city has lost it's charm since it no longer had the attractions that I loved as a kid. Or maybe I just grew out of it.

Good for early morning bike ride or family walk or jog. Breakfast at Lounge 247 is available early before office hours

Great place to stroll with tourists or locals. Fantastic views of the sunset and Manila bay. Lots and lots of entertainment and food options to choose from, or just come for the people-watching.

It's a very very nice place for family bonding, you can create special memories with your kids and love ones. The area is neat and well maintained, with full of guards om the perimeter and roving patrol to check the safety of everybody. Will definitely go back on our free time, see you all there 😊

It's a nice place to spend the day with your family, and friends, or even go on a date with your special someone. There are a lot of fun activities to do, rides to enjoy, and restaurants to eat out. You can also stroll around during sunset and capture photographs to remember the special moment! PS: You can book your tickets on Klook for a Ride-All-You-Can on SM by the BAY amusement facilities.

A nice place to unwind after a busy day. Cool breeze air. Lots of good quality restaurants. Lots of good food stalls to choose from. There are also amusement rides to choose from. A nice place for friends and family to gather and celebrate the day.

SM by the Bay undoubtedly earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars in my recent experience. The sprawling seaside entertainment complex offers a diverse range of activities and attractions that cater to various interests. The wide selection of dining options, from casual to upscale, ensures that there's something for every palate. The stunning view of Manila Bay adds to the overall dining experience, creating a picturesque backdrop for a delightful meal. The array of entertainment choices, including amusement rides, live performances, and cultural events, provides a vibrant atmosphere that appeals to visitors of all ages. The family-friendly environment and variety of offerings make it a go-to spot for quality leisure time. The convenient location and accessibility of SM by the Bay contribute to its appeal, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The well-maintained facilities and attentive staff members enhance the overall experience. In summary, SM by the Bay stands as a versatile and dynamic destination that caters to various interests. From dining and entertainment to stunning bay views, it offers an all-encompassing experience that's well worth a visit.

Why not take a leisurely night stroll by the bay? You'll see lots of couples, families, and friends out and about. If you're tired of walking, grab a bike, take a spin on the rides, or just chill out in silence, soaking in the waves. The parking fee is set at 50 pesos, and unfortunately, there are no discounts available for seniors or persons with disabilities. On the bright side, the parking area is quite spacious.

This is my go-to place when I want to enjoy the serenity of the sea at night. There are a lot of people in the area, especially during sunset. However, you cannot discount the fact that it is an ideal park for family gathering or spending 'me' time. Children and adults will also enjoy the adventure rides with less expensive entrance fees. If you want silence and less people, I recommend you go there at around 8:00 in the evening.

The SM the bay is an exciting destination that offers stunning waterfront views and a diverse range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With its prime location, visitors can enjoy a refreshing sea breeze while exploring the mall's unique features, such as a rooftop garden and outdoor seating areas. The mall boasts a vibrant mix of stores, from high-end luxury brands to trendy local boutiques, catering to all tastes and styles. Foodies can indulge in a variety of culinary delights, from upscale restaurants to casual eateries serving fresh seafood and international cuisine. For entertainment, the mall offers a state-of-the-art cinema, a gaming zone, and regular live performances by local artists. Overall, the mall near the bay is an exciting destination that combines breathtaking scenery, exceptional shopping, and thrilling entertainment, making it a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable experience.

A very nice play to relax and stroll around, but maybe better to go in the evening because at day, the sun is quite strong. It seems more beautiful at night as well.

If you're looking for a fun activity for a couples on the weekend, this is highly recommended. Lots of restaurants to choose from, with exciting rides and a fun romantic atmosphere by the bay. Best time to go is on Saturday nights.

Just went to the amusement park. It was awesome to see how many parents and kids were put even as midnight approached. Merry go round still was functional and there are many food stalls, coffee it's really nice. Live music was playing nearby.

I highly recommend this place if you wanted to have a pamper time with your family, friends, or just with your own self. There are a lot of fun activities and good foods to eat at the seaside plus, you'll get to see the sunset by 4 pm onwards.

This is a nice combination of bay board walk amusement park, as long as you do not expect at full amusement park with giant rollercasters, It has a lot to offer to kids in nice atmosphere. Highly recommended is also the ferris wheel, that gives an excellent view of the area.

This is an amusement park across from the Mall of Asia. There are several right here for young children as well as a couple of more adventurous rides. They have a electric scooters for one or two passengers available. There are a variety of places to eat and get coffee and other beverages. There are also a couple of areas of artificial turf for children to play on.

This is a sea side boulevard with lots of activities for kids and youngsters of all ages. A nice place to walk around and enjoy the ambience and all attractions. A trendy place that attracts young people and families with kids.

I went there with my friends because we were craving for see food. You get to choose the seafood you're going to eat and the chef will cook for you the way you want it. It was delicious but also very expensive. I would suggest to go there if money is not a problem for you but other than that it was great

Returned to Dampa for a seafood feast craving. Always satisfies my longing for freshly cooked dishes. Despite being a bit on the pricey side, the dining area tends to get swamp and while not super clean, it still holds its charm. However, the quality of the seafood keeps me coming back for more.

Since it is a wet market, make sure to wear close shoes/footwear. The seafood choices varies every season. Still the best place to go if you crave for fresh seafood or you have a balikbayan family member.

Had a great time with friends. Fresh seafood you pick out at market. Live crab, shrimp , fresh fish, oysters.. Then the restaurant will cook it for you for a fee.

Complete seafoods Easy to eat... Well taste menu if the prices..its up to restaurant we choose..and also the seafoods what we want to grill or order. Parking is the one who difficult Very crowded if days of week ends. But we ate in Royal Kitchen Its very recommended Love all the menus they offered. Like pork backribs, spinach soup, crab sweet & spicy, pawn garlic All of totally love it👍👍

So how it works with most these places is you buy what you want from the fish market. Then you choose a restaurant to cook it how you want. I found there to be good value with the fish market but less so with the restaurants. Paid about 1000 peso for 2 people with them cooking our seafood, a bowl of plain rice and 2-3 fruits drinks. They cooked half a kilo of prawns and half a kilo of squid.

Good choice of fish market stalls with fair priced and good range of fish and seafood products. Don't worry too much about the hygiene as it's all going to be cooked! The stalls are adjacent to restaurants who will cook it excellently for you with different style base sauces, like Sezchuan etc The biggest issue is very limited and chaotic parking - on a Thursday evening it took us 45mins of driving in circles round the road to find a space I wouldn't visit again for that reason, hence the 3*

You can choose which seafood you want and how it will be cooked. The baked cheesy scallops and sweet chili crab is the best. Price wise is a little bit pricey but you'll get what you pay for 😉

You buy seafood and have it cooked in one of the restaurants there. Restaurants are kind of expensive TBH considering you are bringing all the main ingredients yourself. I had 1 lobster, 4 prawns, 5 squids, 8 scallops - paid 1500 pesos for all at the market (that’s after bargaining) And then I paid another 1000 pesos at the restaurant to have it all cooked As we can see, not that cheap. The cooking was ok but lobster could be cooked better. Tempura prawns weren’t good

Great place to experience casual seafood dining. The restos are specialized in just cooking what seafood or meat and veggies you bring, so you either buy the seafood and meat at the wet market in front of these restos or you bring your own and just let the resto cooks take care of the cooking. Rates computed on a per kilo basis. Always a great place to go to for seafood gastronomy. High praises and highly recommended!

If you want freshly cooked seafood straight from the market, this is the place to go. My family and I have been going to Aling Tonya’s for many years now for their paluto.

Seafood lovers haven. Choose from lots of fresh live seafood stalls, fruit and veg stalls and get them cooked to what ever style you choose. But be aware you will be overwhelmed at the entrance by people getting you to buy seafood from their stalls and get your chosen seafood cooked at their restaurants. Before settling to one seafood stall be sure to shop around for the best prices as there are multiple stalls selling the same type of seafood but with different prices

Many vendors competing to sell you fresh seafood, inflated prices on their list, but can compare from different vendors to get a reduced fee, then bring to restaurants next door to cook and season... best seafood dinner ever!

Takes patience to dine in this area, from parking, shopping the wet market, to choosing the restaurants, but all worth the effort in the end. Crabs were fresh, fat, and meaty, and we opted for buttered one similar to Singapore style (without the buns). Note: if you shop the seafood yourself, please haggle starting from the lowest. If you let the restaurants shop for you, there’s the risk they can add more in addition to their cooking charge. We shopped for the seafood, dined and had them cooked in one of the oldest restaurants - total price per person is 2,000. Breakdown: 1,200 for the wet market; 800 cooking, drinks, and rice. Dishes: Chili Crab, Baked Scallops, Steamed Lapu Lapu, Baked Oysters, Shrimp Gambas style, fried rice.

So so good! I dont think you can get any fresher seafood at such a good price! Then have them cook it for you next in many different ways! The food was amazing and fresh! I actually went here 5 years ago. I wish i came back sooner. Seafood selection here is amazing! So fresh! Will come back here again!

Perfect place to , food was prepared very good and place is very clean I highly recommend it. Friendly staff and fair priced! 5 stars

ate in Huey Yue. something like that. because of the tempura by some chef blogger. sarap nga!!! we went a little nuts with the palenkeing though. over over over bought. had too much halaan, too much adobong pusit (which was awesome), too much sinuglaw and definitely too much tiger prawn tempura. but believe it or not, we finished it!!! was that yummy

All seafood is good! But, everyone have to be careful to the price and quantity when you buy anything. I would like to buy 4 kinds of seafood, but finally they counted 5 of them and made me pay extra! They talk much and make you confused to the total price! Be careful!

It is a fun place. I also like it because the guests are not too crowded.

One hell of a fun place this is. You have to have to visit this place if you are in Manila. You can easily spend an hour or two depending on how many of you go and what all do you try for upside down Better to take help from someone in how to position yourself and the camera to capture the effect in the right manner. Tickets are cheap but the place is located remotely so don't worry if you feel you are going nowhere, that's correct

I expected the place to be big but it was just a one wide place wherein you could find a spot and explore your imagination and take photos. Good thing there are personnel from each post who can guide you on better poses. We went there on a normal day, Friday, unfortunately, on the same schedule of a "Field Trip" with some students so it was overcrowded. We had a limited time taking photos due to long queues. Not looking at the overcrowded issue, overall, the structures/designs were good. We enjoyed taking photos and looking the effects (upside down) after, though I guess the Php450 entrance fee is too high for this attraction. Good place for kids and kids-at-heart! 😊

Amazing! The staffs are friendly and will immediately take the initiative to take pictures of you. They also suggest whats the best pose for you and your company. I love the idea of the museum. Plus, stuffs hanging are all real. Like wow. Entrance fee 450.

If you are fond of testing your creativity and flexibility, you might find Upside Down Museum a great place to bond with your friends and family. My friend and I came here during an unexpected rain so we got a chance to take a lot of photos here without getting distracted by a lot of people. The staff were very kind enough to assist us whenever we need to take our photos together. They were great photographers as we never thought that it could be done creatively if we only rely on ourselves. Hahaha! Along with this, the attraction is always maintained cleaned by the staff. The only downside I can see on the place is their restroom. I just didn't expect that the restroom was like that. It should be improve and fix some of their locks. Overall, we had a great time with my friend in the Upside Down Museum and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to spend their time with their loved ones during rainy days. Oh I almost forgot. During our visit, the way in getting in the museum is really challenging due to bad weather so make sure to prepare yourselves.

The place is small but nice. I just think that they need a better location, somewhere more accessible. Tip to have good photos; ask assistance. They would tell you how to properly pose per spot. 450 pesos entrance fee is not bad considering that there is no time limit. Ps: girls, dont wear skirts or dresses so you could freely and comfortably move around. Have fun!

Kids and adults had fun, nice place for family bonding. Only the CR needs improvement and has to be well maintained coz it's dirty specially the one outside. Should provide a bigger refreshment area.
