Want to visit the newest themepark and ferris wheel attraction in Manila? Then head tomorrow December 16, 2011 to the SM Mall of Asia or SM MOA as this popular mall will open its uber the top attraction to the public. The SM MOA’s Ferris Wheel called the SM MOA EYE wheel is now the tallest ferris wheel in the country! There is more and more reasons to visit the capital city as you can now enjoy not only Star City but the SM MOA Eye and the theme park where it is at.
Located just across the SM IMAX parking lot, this giant ferris wheel towers at 160 feet overlooking the fame Manila Bay. The ferris wheel carriages and coaches are air-conditioned so its perfect to ride up even if the day is hot. Fee to ride the Philippines’ tallest ferris wheel is at P150 per person, vip gondolas are to be pegged at P200. And the more awesome news is that the SM Moa Eye is located inside the SM amusement park complex, and entrance to the theme park is free and you only have to pay for the rides that you want to try out. Once fully completed, this theme park will be home to 30 or so different heart pumping rides and spectacular attractions. I hope they will have a carousel there too as carousels are perfect backdrop of pictures hehhe. I will be updating this post with the pics of the SM Moa Eye and the official opening and closing time of the sm amusement park. Watch out for that!
Christmas Display in SM Mall of Asia
This is awesome news this Christmas season for all the chikitings and everyone who wants to visit MOA this December. You have lots of places to go and Christmas festivities to see like the SM Christmas Snow Globe inside the mall, the SM MOA Eye and the themepark, the Santa House where you can have your pics taken and if you are lucky have pics with Santa Claus.

It is also best to time your visit to the Mall of Asia during Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays this holiday season as they also have spectacular fireworks display at around 7 to 8:30pm as well as the hugely popular Christmas Parade. You can even try out Ice Skating at Moa’s ice skating rink =).
All Manilenos probably know this already but for those who does not know yet how to go to SM Mall of Asia (sm moa), find yourself under the LRT Taft Station for under it there are jeepneys plying the SM MOA route. Fare is only P8.00.
Head now to moa before the rush of people who all wants to see the SM Moa Eye Ferris Wheel gets there =) SM has taken the perya’s tsubibo to a higher level with this tallest ferris wheel. Cool!

Can we ask if what’s the age limit upon riding the Eye..? tnx!
Hi Maridel,
So sorry I could not answer your query now, we will be checking out Moa Eye on Tuesday, by then I will probably have your answer. I’m hoping it won’t be too late though. But if mapunta kayo sa MOA before us, please inform us too! 🙂
we went there yesterday and the fee is 150 per person, that includes even children 6 months old.
Hi Kamote!
Thanks for the headsup! The P100 must have been the special price on the launch day. But that’s awful if infants are charged too :/.
We’ll be checking out today the rides and hopefully all the fine prints of the SM Moa Eye rules and details. Will update this post accordingly after. Thanks again for the price info!
150pesos for 1Round only in Ferris Wheel, Waste of Money
Hi Moa Lover!
Thanks for sharing your review regarding the Moa Eye! Comments like this are very helpful as it give different insights to the topic. Thanks for leaving your comment!
Oh, so that’s P150 already? I’ve seen it on TV and they said that you only get to ride for 10mins. Haha! BTW, how much for the Snow Globe? Still busy with my thesis. Hope I can still catch the globe by the time we finish our defense. (>_<)
Hi Nash!
Goodluck sa thesis! 🙂 About snow globe, I forgot how much was it :/ Another reader of Penfires said that you only get to ride one round and then that’s it hehehe
do they have fireworks display too? if yes, what time?
Hi imchokulet!
Based on our experience during the past years, MOA have firework displays every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of December around 7pm to 8:30pm. To be sure you can contact SM directly or pay SM Mall of Asia a visit as they usually have posters announcing the schedules of their 2011 Christmas activities including the Christmas fireworks display.
hi. tanong ko lng poh kung mgkano special fees s moa’s eye if you want to have a date dinner inside their gondolas ? lam mo poh b kung mgkano ?
Hi Meme,
If you are asking about Moa Eye, wala pa silang ganitong special amenities like for dinner date but this maybe on the works na as they have those VIP gondolas. Baka they are going to pattern it after the Singapore flyer dinner package but as of now wala pang balita re this.
aiii ganun . sayang aman dun sna ko mg ppropose e haha tnx ! mgkano vip poh dun ? hmmm kunwari 2 lng kame s vip gondola pwde b un ?? tnx !!!! 😛
ay ang galing sana! sayang nga wala pa, wala pa ding nilalabas na vip gondola fee, tsaka last week when we went there wala pang aircon, hopefully the aircon will be working soon!
Goodluck sa proposal! *kinilig naman ako sa inyo hehehhe .. okay din yung Moa eye for proposal..kunsyabahin mo lang yung staff, I’m sure they will be more than happy to help you out. Tsaka baka ikaw pa first mag propose dun, bongga! forever memorable yun para sa soon to be fiancee mo =)
pag natuloy ka sa MOA Eye proposal mo..pahingi naman kahit isang pic g proposal para ma feature ko hehehheeh
kailangan po ba pinupuno yung gandola hangang 6 na tao o pwedeng dalawa lang kami?
Hi Kim,
Not necessarily.
There is a preset schedule sa pag-ikot ng Moa Eye and so far hindi siya pinupuno unless siguro there are tons of people lining up to ride the Ferris Wheel, in such cases Management might decide to put different groups in a single gondola to give everybody the chance to ride up.
haha uo nga e sayang aman 😛 mga wat tym kea ng bbukas un ? mgnda sna pg gabe nu ? wew bhala na haha . tnx poh ! sana my aircon na . hihihi
@.mEmE – mas maganda sa gabi! these days 3 or 4pm ang start but to be sure come there a little later or if gusto mo to talk first with the staff to help you in planning your surprise dapat mas maaga ka siguro ^_^
hi. pwede po ba 2 lang kayo sa gondola? same fee pa rin po ba un kung 2 lng kayo?
Hi Jesse!
Puede yata 2 or per group per gondola as long as the queue in Moa Eye is not so long… you can also ask the staff for confirmation once you are there na 🙂
hehe ok poh tnx !!! so mga ganung oras pla tlga dpat . dpat kasi ppnta ko khpon dun kaso dami tao ngaun at trapik kht sn pmnta . haha 1st wik ng january try ko 😀 tnx sa info !!! sa january 3 open nman sguro un db ? wat do you think ? hihih
hehehhe Goodluck ha!
I think so open ang Moa Eye by that date in 2012 since January 1 lang closed lahat ng SM ata.
Honestly, I was quite disappointed with the ride. The 10 minute ride was actually fast. I think P150 is a bit overpriced. But it’s a good ride if you just want to relax or if you’re a tourist. I love your photos!hehe I also took photos on the same spot.
Hi Irene!
Thanks for sharing your opinion and thoughts on the Moa Eye. I wish it’s going to be a longer ride in the ferris wheel para sulit naman yung bayad.
I’ve checked your blog, and left a comment. Happy blogging this 2012! 🙂

Your welcome =) It’s a nice addition to the attractions in Manila especially for those who are on a field trip and wants to experience more fun aside from those offered in Star City. =)

Hi Herbert, different opening and closing times for SM Moa Eye: schedule is Mon to Thur 12nn to 12mn; Friday and Saturday opening time is 10am to 1am while Sunday is 12nn to 12mn. Pero para sure around 2pm or later nalang kayo punta or gabi para mas maganda naka light na yung biggest ferris wheel sa atin 🙂

Hi xyrille, sa pagkaka-alam ko oo, pero baka sa holiday next week close sila (baka lang).
