Today's Plan · Fri, Oct 16

Fresh date ideas in Metro Manila this weekend

Expectation vs RealityExpectation: a quick stroll through the tunnelReality: standing under sharks until your neck hurts

You planned a sensible afternoon date, but the sharks and vintage vinyl had other plans!

The plan was a simple afternoon out, but Manila dates have a way of escalating into full adventures. Start under rays and sharks in the 25-meter glass tunnel at Manila Ocean Park. Next, head over to Fort Santiago to catch river views from Baluarte de Santa Barbara. Wrap up the day flipping through vintage vinyl and antique finds inside Cubao Expo. Pick your stop and set out today!
