Laguna: The Magic That Stays With You (Enchanted Kingdom)


We went to Enchanted Kingdom for the 'nth time to cheer up a friend. You may ask why, because for me the thrill and adventure excites a person's heart and produces happy thoughts and feelings. Well at least I know my friend a lot and I just simply know what will make her happy.

Enchanted Kingdom is a world class theme park here in the Philippines. A place where you can bring out the inner child in you.

Park opens at 11:00AM-9:00PM and everytime we go here, we always make sure to arrive before the park opens to avoid the long line in the ticket booth and maximize our stay.



How to get there:

We went here via UV Express van in Star Mall EDSA Crossing bound for Balibago and drop off in Waltermart Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Fare is Php 70. From Waltermart we rode a tricycle for Php 10 each.

Other transportation option:

Via EK SHUTTLE: A shuttle service is available in Ayala Center beside SM Makati across MRT Ayala station at  Intercontinental Hotel open parking, Fare is Php 300 per way. You may call 830-3535 for schedules.

Via Bus: There are buses bound to Balibago you can ride such as JAM and JAC Liner with bus stations are located in Pasay City near Buendia LRT Station. You will also drop off to Waltermart Sta. Rosa Laguna and from there ride a tricycle to Enchanted Kingdom.  Fare is Php 61.

Travel time is 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.



You will be welcomed to the Grand Gateway where ticket booths, guest relation and security office is located. This is also where you can find restrooms, loading stations, ATM machines, locker and stroller rentals. Please take note that foods are not allowed inside the park so just leave it in the car or don't bring any foods as they will be confiscated upon entrance and you can't get them back. However we were able to bring bottled water inside.

Victioria Park
Victoria Park is what you'll see upon entering the park where you will see the carousel and the garden with dancing fountain in front.

Took the mandatory photo here, got our maps and proceed to the left side. 



For our first ride, Disk-O Magic just across the Flying Fiesta, this ride will literally keep you spinning, so for those who are not used to this kind of rides, make sure you don't have a full stomach before taking this ride.



Next stop is Portabello where Rio Grande Rapids is located. This ride is wet and wild so make sure you bring extra clothes and waterproof your things if you want to ride this. There are also Magic Dryer booths for Php 150 fee, or you may choose to buy clothes as there is a shop selling clothes just before you exit. Note: Ride opens at 2:00 PM.



Beside this is the 7D Interactive Motion Theater for an extra fee and Eldar's tent where they held broad way shows. Then the Arial Race, one of exciting rides here in EK where there are 6 acrobatic planes that fly either 180 or 360 degrees. The best part of it is that you are left hanging upside down for a couple of seconds.



Moving forward just beside the Arial Race is the Space Shuttle, our favorite ride.



After the thrilling rides, we headed for lunch then went straight to Jungle Outpost zone and rode the Jungle Log Jam. We got wet again!



We walked along Brooklyn Place where it's like you're travelling in time. Don't forget to try 3D theater Rialto.





We headed our way to Bump car and experience driving with the kids.



We got tired and rest for a bit, played a little games on the booth and got a dog stuff toy. We didn't notice it starting to get dark. 




For the remaining hours we have, we took the chance to ride the Anchor's Away and the Ferris Wheel.




And we were so tired so we just relaxed and waited for the fireworks at 8:30 PM. And that wraps up our fun and exciting day.
