Top 5 Leisure, Amusement and Theme Parks in the Philippines

Zoobic Safari
The Mind Museum
May 2013 – When spending time in the Philippines, local and foreign tourists never run out of travel ideas and leisure activities and adventures. In fact, I haven’t been in the other regions of the country particularly those that involve rigid traveling. Philippines offers a year long chill and relaxed atmosphere, from summer all the way to non-peak season. Philippines ‘getaway islands always have something amazing to experience.
But before you hop in from the likes of Disneyland, Universal Studios, Legoland, Walt Disney World, Sanrio Puroland, or London, Spain, Japan, Egypt, Turkey, and more. Let me remind you guys to explore your own land. Nothing compares to Batanes, Palawan, Camiguin, Bohol, Boracay, Davao, Cebu, Ilolo, Baguio, Tagaytay, Mindoro, etc. than being a stranger in your own land.
Top 5 Leisure, Amusement and Theme Parks in the Philippines.
Opened in 2008, we brought our child for the first time in December 2010. I was blogging for deiville(dot)info then as a personal blog. Oceanarium is the most fun part in my own opinion because of its main attraction, the 25-metre long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls where a school of fish and stingrays hang around above and beside you.

Enchanted Kingdom
Opened in 1995, we were there during the soft opening and it was raining the whole afternoon. And when the digital world isn’t invented yet. 😉 The last time we visited EK was in 2005, a long time ago. It’s time to hit the EK calendar soon.

Zoobic Safari
Zoobic safari has lots of tiger breeds, you can even feed them from an open area (gentle reminder though) keep your fingers intact! 🙂 Best to enjoy the park during summer, the long trail is tiresome and yet packed with F-U-N. It’s recommended to bring your own vehicle and wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
