History



The Jumbo Kingdom was established in October 1976 by Dr. Stanley Ho after four years and over 30 million were spent to design and build it.

In 2000, two tugboats brought one of the floating barges from the Aberdeen Harbour to the mouth of the Manila Bay, and was rebranded as the "Jumbo Kingdom Manila". Much of the original ancient Chinese imperial palace style renovation has been retained.

The Jumbo Kingdom recently went through a major multi-million dollar renovation, which transformed it into a theme park on the sea including dining, shopping, sightseeing and cultural attractions.
