Fun Farm at Sta Elena !

I had been looking for a place where I could bring my family to enjoy nature; to get close to as much greens as possible and smell  the breath of fresh air.  Well , I found one and I don't have to get on a plane or travel a long long way.  It's just down south at Cabuyao, Laguna and it's called the Fun Farm at Sta Elena.

I was so excited to see a lot of trees ,ponds , farm animals.  Inside the Fun Farm is the Holy Carabao which sells organic produce.   Not many people were there that day maybe because we went on a Sunday.

The farm opens at 9am and closes at 4:30pm.  Make sure you have reservations since security is very strict at the gate of Sta Elena.  Security will ask if you've made a reservation. Am glad I checked out their website first before going.

Fee is P300 per head and already includes all the activities including horse back riding, mini fishing, mini boating, mini zip line, feeding of rabbits and guinea pigs and the most exciting of all - riding the carabao cart!

They do not have a restaurant so do bring food and drinks and go for a picnic inside their hall or at the picnic area.

 The 'welcome' sign  beckons you to go in to enjoy and be a child again.

My kids enjoying the fishing (more like catch and release).  They each caught a lot of Tilapia but they were small so we just put them all right back in the water.


Meet Choc-Nut, the carabao (or water bufallo)!   I love this sight.  There's something about a carabao-drawn carriage that lets me reminisce my childhood days in the province when we visited our grandparents.  Love it ! Love it !

The staff gives you carrots for feeding the guinea pigs and rabbits.  You could even enter the rabbit's den. After the feeding session, there's alcohol that they let you use.

The rabbits run around and play and there was even one that got out of the pen !


There are team building activties such as this one where somebody needs to call out Left-Right or else all will tumble !


So many things to do especially for the kids !


                                 
Go up the truck and have some fun !


Enjoy !

Sky Ranch Tagaytay !

Now there's another reason to visit Tagaytay -it's called the Sky Ranch !  Not only do you get to enjoy the view ot the Taal Volcano and savor the cold weather,  you could now experience an amusement park amidst all these.  Sky Ranch houses the tallest ferris wheel  in the Philippines called the "Sky Eye".  The Sky Eye has individually airconditioned gondolas - very nice!.  The place also has a Super Viking , a mini Viking, a mini roller coaster and other children's rides. 

Let me show you here the place.  But actually, most of the buildings are still under construction and I can't wait to return again when all are completed.


The entrance fee is normally at Php100 but it was at 50% off so we got it for Php50 per person.



You won't miss Sky Ranch with the huge sign and the tallest FERRIS WHEEL !  Sky Eye is at Php150/person


The Nessi Coaster will be enjoyable for the kids
 Am sure the kids will want to try this. I would suggest though not on a full stomach

The Super Viking and The Sky Eye !

There is also a train that goes around the place.  Fee = Php50

This is always a big hit at Php 250/ 30 minutes

Enjoy !
