I have too many good memories here at Worlds of Fun. From the haunted train ride to the bump cars,…read moreeverything was magical specially because it was a time I spent with friends and I was at a point where the biggest problem I had was my first crush, it was indeed a good time. Looking back I was thankful that they've put up small amusement parks like these in malls where kids can easily go to, not just this one in particular but also in other malls too. As a child, we couldn't afford to go to big ones on our own because: 1. we didn't know how to drive and 2. our baons weren't enough to cover the expenses to go there. Unlike most kids nowadays! Worlds of Fun though, they're really budget friendly. Give a kid a couple of hundred and he'd be all set for the day. I also loved playing arcade games there though that wasn't my main focus. It was the haunted train ride that still haunts me to this day (scaredy cat!).

When the baby boomers of the previous generation had children of their own, the demand for places…read moreto take the little toddlers rose considerably, leading to some malls and supermarkets or other major shopping establishments to create mini-carnivals which catered to the young and the young at heart. I don't know if this is something unique to the Philippines, but when you're not up to travel all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom, Worlds of Fun may be a very viable option for you. Boasting mini roller coasters and smaller scale carousels, as well as a plethora of modern, digital arcade games, this area provides children with multiple worlds of fun to go to! Designed in a grandiose fashion that I still find impressive (the entrance gateway is in Egyptian style, for example), the area manages to make something affordable and reasonable look like a lot of fun, even to a young adult like myself, who may be secretly wishing to have the ability to go back to those carefree times.

Located right at the entrance of the Assumption school campus, the PACEM Eco Park is part-garden,…read morepart-museum, and part-mini zoo. It was established by the school to raise concern for the environment for its school community and for visitors who can visit the eco park for just a minimal entrance fee. It's amazing how this little pocket of green in Antipolo houses some amazing animals endemic to the Philippines like the Monkey-Eating Eagle or the Philippine Eagle, the "Pilandok" or Philippine Mouse-deer, the Flying Lemur, the Palawan Bearcat, and the Calamian Deer among others. There's also a cheeky myna bird somewhere in there that keeps asking, "Kumain ka na?" Lol. It's a well-maintained park so you can easily walk through the mini-forest inside, peek into the pond and this wishing well at the front, and stop by the butterfly garden and mini museum as well. It's pretty cool to have something like this in this area. Makes for a great environmental education trip with family, especially for those with little kids!

I remember first finding out about Mystery Manila when one of their sponsored ads caught my eye on…read moreFacebook. I have to give props to their advertising agency or advertising team as the ad was extremely enticing and I know I wasn't the only one whose attention was caught by the copy and graphic that they used. Anyway, when the website finally launched (www.mysterymanila.com), my friends and I rushed to book the first room we could get our hands on. It was called Chained Chamber and we were a group of five (two guys, three girls). Upon entering the grounds at Libis, we were greeted warmly, briefed, offered drinks, and finally, blindfolded, and accompanied to the room we would be solving the mystery in by a guide. I was extremely expressed by what the owners have done with the place and how they've been able to so ingeniously utilize the small space that they have. For that space in time, I really did feel like I was somewhere else and the challenge in itself was quite a feat to tackle. I don't want to give away too much, but allow me to liken the experience to the Amazing Race. Been back several times since the first visit, and I can say that those experiences were super fun as well. I can vouch for the Sinister Sensorium (Jupiter branch) and the Ticking Time Bomb (Libis). Have fun... and don't forget your brain food!

If you feel like you want to play a game... *puts on a Jigsaw voice*…read more You're bound to have fun at Mystery Manila. You and your friends are locked in a room for one hour, and you need to solve some kind of puzzle (depending on the scenario) to get out. No athletics or brute force needed here, just lots of skill points in problem solving and teamwork! It's all about mind games and riddles, which you'll have to solve under an hour. I went with a group of 5 friends for the Sinister Sensorium room in their Makati branch (across Mapua). This was lots of fun because each of us had to pick a disability: 2 of us had to be deaf, 2 blind, and 2 mute. I won't give any spoilers here, but let me just say that it we had an awesome time. Gather a group of friends and try it out! :D (We also realized that if we were to actually be in a serial killer scenario, we'd be so screwed. :P)

My 2 and a half year old daughter calls this the My Little Pony playground because it's vast enough…read morefor her to pretend she's Apple Jack or Rainbow Dash. There is a large green space with trees lined about so she can pretend there's a forest. The playground features a kiddie gym with slides and a bridge. She can play on it for hours thinking it's a castle. There are also a few other playground sets surrounding the gym and feature seesaws, rocking horses/trucks, smaller slide sets and a pair of swings. The place also has a basketball court in the back, clean bathrooms because of the rentable clubhouse and well yeah, a clubhouse you can rent for parties. The park is also fairly empty except in the late afternoons but it's never as chaotic as the one in Salcedo. There's a mini grocery nearby and a branch of Becky's Kitchen so you can grab juice and brownies after a tiring afternoon of playing.

The park is one of the things my daughter and I love about the move because of the playground. Situated in the middle of greenery, the playground features padded flooring and a nice jungle gym set. My daughter loves the slides and the rope bridge. At first, she was hesitant to cross it because the spaces between the ropes were too big for her little toddler feet. She started out by crawling across, then she got more confident and started walking on it. Me and my mommy milestones! *tear* There are a number of parent-child or yaya-child tandems that hang out here, too. It usually doesn't fill up until around 2 or 3 pm, but coming by earlier isn't too hot as well because of all the trees that shade the playground. Aside from that, there are jogging and biking paths around the park. The main function hall, which can be split into two smaller areas or opened up to become one big room, is located by the driveway. It seems like there's a birthday that happens there every weekend so if you plan to rent the place out, make a reservation well ahead of time. Sunday masses are also held here. There's a basketball, tennis, and badminton court on the premises as well. There's a convenience store, a tutorial center, laundry service, and a Metrobank ATM, too. The convenience store closes at around 8 pm, from my observation.

Fun Ranch's complex is an attractive piece of work, but a closer look at the facilities will make…read moreit less appealing. The huge compound features a number of themed party rooms, indoor playgrounds, and fair-type booths and rides. It's a nice destination for a day visit, but it doesn't figure in my list of playgrounds to repeatedly take my child. For one, the indoor playground area looks a bit rundown. While it has about three levels of gym-play, slides, and ball pits, the topmost section of the playground gets really hot. It's either they don't turn on the airconditioning in that area, or the equipment just doesn't cut it for the size. Also, unlike, other indoor playgrounds, the big slide restricts toddlers from going down with an adult companion; Fun Ranch's management lets parents sign a waiver to let their smaller kids use it (It's right smack in the middle! How can they resist?!) but don't allow adults to get on. That poses a lot of little problems like the how the adult manages to climb up the obstacle course to guide the child to the slide, help the kid down the first few inches of it, then rush back down through a maze of jungle foam to catch the kid at the bottom. Parents and guardians will understand my plight. For an indoor playground this big, you would think there should be more attendants inside the play place, but I've seen it packed on Saturdays and Sundays with only two members of the staff by the entrance of the area. It seems safe, though, and is entertaining enough for a visit. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the roller coaster ride and its jerking brake. Try to visit later in the afternoon as well since some rides are outdoors and directly under the sun.

Fun Ranch also has rooms available to rent for events/children's parties.

One of the biggest and most varied play places you'll find in Metro Manila today. It has two major…read moreareas, the Playmaze and the Mini Village. The play strategy is dependent on the type of kid you have. If you have a little one is excited to start off and has a lot of energy, go through the Playmaze first. This is similar to an active gym for kids, it has a lot of places for running, jumping, hiding. The area has slides, ball pits and some obstacle courses. If your kid leans more toward the more relaxed play, go through the Mini Village first. There, you'll find a great area where everything is kid-sized. Let your child's imagination run while with the areas for pretend play. There's St. Noah's Hospital, The Village Shoppe, Sweet Kei's Café, The Country Barn, Station 123, Tyler's Builders, Kidzville High and Jojo's Garage. Each area is interactive, where kids can practice sorting, stacking, pet farm animals, pretend to cook or be a fireman or a doctor, sit quietly in a classroom or play with the real Volkswagen Beetle. Both the play area and the mini village are very well thought off. It's a great place for kids between 3 to 5 years old, but will also work well for younger ones with a little hand holding. Crossing between the two area is easy. Socks are required for both kids and adults and non-playing adults need to pay. (They have rates for 30 mins, 1 hour and unlimited. Adult pass is P120).

A few years ago, Kidzville was the place to go if you want your little 3-8 year old to burn some…read moreenergy in a safe and clean environment.

However, Kidzania has raised the bar to another level (and at a much higher price to boot) and Kidzville hasn't changed all that much. If you find yourself in this mall, your kid is in need of some stimulation and you need some alone time as well, consider dropping off your kid here for a few hours. Check on him/her every hour or so and you should be all set.

I enjoyed my time so much with thevolunteers especially with the kids. It wasn't too different from the main service but what makes it a wee bit different is that the approach is more child-friendly and it's livelier because of course, you wouldn't want to bore the kids. They also have games to jumpstart the service. Teacher Rhomel did a great job at preaching the word to the kids because not only did they learn about God's word but they also knew how to apply or how it applies in real life. Letting children attend Kids Church services is not really to let someone babysit them while parents attend the main service but to let the kids learn about the word of God in a way that they'll grasp it easier.

I should know because this is what happened to me when my 2-year old nephew had a fit of tantrum that only stopped after I agreed to join him in his 3-minute train ride. It only cost PHP 50.00 and a lot of embarrassment on my part. Just kidding. Deep inside, I also enjoyed the ride. The ride was slow but smooth for me. And seeing how my nephew giggled and laughed the whole train ride was priceless. I don't really blame him because the coaches or wagons of Adventure Express are clean, colorful, and well maintained. I think the choo-choo sound of the train added to the whole fun experience. I'm just happy that my nephew was content with just one ride but the whole episode left me hungry so we decided to have a burger meal afterwards.
