View Full Version : Vacation spots for children
Most of the travel spots mentioned only cater to traveling adults. Are there any tourist sites where kids can enjoy or kid friendly spots?

This is cool .......... but as I have read and browsed thru the forum here, most spots have friendly atmosphere for children, too, in fact, both adults and children.

If you want a different place to go to - like a just a day trip, perhaps - there's a place called Ark Avilon Zoo near Tiendesitas. You can even feed the rabbits, roosters, and goats! It was so much fun, I felt like a kid again. Then you can run to Fun Ranch afterwards for some kiddie games and rides for your kids or to have a gearty meal at some restaurants.

I'm so curious about that Enchanted Kingdom because that's always a big deal to my parent friends already who brings or treat their children to that place whenever they have the chance.
Located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna is a great weekend trip for the family. Enchanted Kingdom is a theme park that is perfect for the whole family. Rides and adventures are available all day long where parents and kids can spend some time together.
Enchanted Kingdom has a lot to offer for you and your family to enjoy. Enchanted Kingdom has several theme parks to explore and learn and rides to enjoy.
The Victoria Park in Enchanted Kingdom features the Victorian era and displays it in elegance. Entertainers leisurely stroll around the park dressed in costumes inspired by Queen Victoria’s era. The Enchanted Kingdom’s mascot named Wizard will be among the ones welcoming you. The Grand Carousel is Victoria Park’s centerpiece attraction. Try the magical ride in Enchanted Kingdom through its Victoria Park.
Portabello is another zone in Enchanted Kingdom, which is a replica of a place in the Caribbean Sea. It features treasures hidden by the Spanish sailors. Portabello hosts the Rio Grande — Enchanted Kingdom’s largest attraction — a wet and wild adventure for the family. Other attractions in Enchanted Kingdom’s Portabello are the Flying Fiesta, giant swing ride, Xtreme Paintball, Portabello Show, and 4D Discovery Theater.
Boulderville is a zone in Enchanted Kingdom that’ll be a sure treat for the kids. This zone has a prehistoric theme with dinosaurs as main characters. Rides like Air Pterodactyl, Bumbling Boulders, Boulderville Express, Dinosaurs, and Stone Eggs are sure to excite the kids. Children of any age will be delighted with Enchanted Kingdom’s play facilities like Petreefied House and Rock Quarry. Puppet shows and dinosaur mascots will entertain you in this zone of Enchanted Kingdom.
Other attractions that you are sure to enjoy in Enchanted Kingdom are the following: Steeple Chase Arcade, Anchor’s Away, Roller Skater, Clown Show, Dodgem, Up, Up and Away, Midway Show, Wheel of Fate, Bump N’ Splash, skill and video games, and performances of mime artists, jugglers, and clowns. All these attractions can be enjoyed in Enchanted Kingdom’s zone called Midway Boardwalk.
Brooklyn Place is another zone in Enchanted Kingdom where slapstick comedies and silent movies are reminisced. Rialto, a motion simulator theater is the main attraction where you’re a part of the movie not just watching it. Ride the Funhouse Express, watch the Broadway and Brooklyn shows and enjoy the parade of entertainers down a cobblestone street.
Want to experience a spine-tingling speed flight? The Spaceport zone of Enchanted Kingdom has it. The 11-story-high Space Shuttle will let you experience an upside down turn six times. This is the first coaster ride of its kind in the Philippines. Other attractions are Sky Wizardry, Wizard’s Tale, Go-Kart ATV, Exodus the Ride, and Kart Trak.
A jungle adventure is offered in Enchanted Kingdom’s Jungle Post. A tranquil Swan Lake, Safari Shootout, the exciting Jungle Log Jam, and Amazon Hoop Shot are among the adventures that you’ll enjoy there.
Enchanted Kingdom is the best place for adventure rides, fun, and excitement for the whole family. An hour’s travel from Manila to Enchanted Kingdom is not bad in exchange of your family’s quality time together.

I went to Enchanted Kingdom last weekend with friends. Too bad it rained hard by the end of the night...and the park closed at 9pm. Oh well. It's nice to go there with friends and family. Scream to your heart's content and feel like a kid again!
Good thing "Space Shuttle" was closed at that time. Perfect excuse not to have that ride. :p
Tip! bring extra clothes (undies included) if you plan to take RioGrande! My pants were soaking wet after the ride. Haha! But it was worth it.
Thanks the jungle survival camp looks fun.

Stone throw away from our house. A great place for joggers too. I tag my kids along while jogging in the area and they really like the place.

A good place to bring the kids would be the SM Science and Discovery Center. It is the country’s first highly interactive Science Learning Theme Park which houses a LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Center and a 360-degree dome Digistar Planetarium. Kids can ride on Transportation Nation and can play virtual sports in Media City.

Kids can now experience snow in the Philippines at Snow World. The place has a -15 centigrade temperature, making it very cold. Inside is a White Christmas display complete with Christmas tree, igloo, ice slide and ice sculptures from all over the world.
