MUST SEE - What's with Residence Inn ( Zoo )

ENTRANCE FEE:   P 200.00 / head
For SMAC holder: P 160.00 / head

TIP: If you have an SM Advantage Card, bring this and often review your privileges.  Some partner establishments are not posting that they offer promo/ discount for privilege card holder on their cashier. Like in our case, we weren’t aware that we are entitled a 20 % discount on Residence Inn entrance fee if we did not tell them that we saw it in SMAC (SM Advantage Card privilege catalogue). 20 % discount is somewhat a saving.

Residence Inn looks wider outside than the actual parameter inside. In front of Residence Inn, you will see a large stable with several horses inside. It is situated at the center of a round green field.

 Entering Residence Inn, you will first see a cab in the lobby. The purpose if it is for the visitor’s to personally get in touch with the cab, put it on their lap and take some picture for souvenir. If you have your own camera, you will need to pay P25.00 or P50.00 I think, for you to have the cab on your lap. (I can’t remember the actual price because I did not want to move even closer to the cab because I'm afraid of it).

 Then at the right side of the entrance, there is a Photo booth, where you can buy pictures per package (taken picture of you with the animals inside the zoo). It cost for about P199.00 pet set.

At the lobby, there are two directions, If you will turn left, you will be directed to Bird feeding area, Mini Safari, Movie are, Restaurant, Magic Showing Area, Zipline and residence Inn overview. Going straight ahead to the covered area, you will see, fishes on lots of aquarium, reptiles on a maze-like way and will find the python shown on the picture below at the exit door. Though, these directions are separate way, both will bring you to Restaurant / Zipline and Magic showing area. They are all connected.

Here are some of the animals we saw in the zoo.

We can actualy move closer as this to the tigers. Just be sure not to reach your hand to them.

MUST KNOW – The Origin of Palace in the Sky, Tagaytay and How to Get there

Palace in the Sky is originally owned by Marcos Family (Former President Ferdinand Marcos) as their guest House and became open to the public when Marcos was dethroned as the Philippine president. It is also known as “People’s Park”

How to get to Palace in the Sky from Rotunda/ Olivarez Plaza:

Before getting to Olivarez Plaza, you may also know How to get to Rotunda/Olivarez from Manila

From Rotunda/ Olivarez Plaza, you can see the Chowking. Facing Chowking, follow the road on your right side. This will take you to the terminal going to Palace in the Sky which is also the route going to Picnic Groove. The terminal is just a vacant lot which you may not recognize because the jeepneys are not visible as they parked at the inner part of the vacant lot. The terminal is along Chowking’s side. You may find it far if you will walk from Rotunda. Other option is to ride Tricycle directly from Rotunda to Palace in the Sky. It is more costly than to ride a jeep of course.

Note that there is no Taxi in Tagaytay, anyway, expect that riding a tricycle may charge you a taxi fare price hehe..It will depend on number of persons.


Option 1: Jeepney going to Picnic groove/ Palace in the Sky
Fare Cost:

Option 2: Tricycle 
Fare Cost:  60-100 (quoted price)

TAGAYTAY MUST DO - Activities to enjoy in Tagaytay

Must Do

Tagaytay is a peaceful place, yet you will never find it boring to stay here. There are lots and lots of fun awaiting us that the whole family and friends will enjoy. It is often a place for kids field trip. As far as I remember, when I was in kinder, on our field trip, we went to Palace in the sky. I believe, there is no Residence Inn and Paradizoo there yet that time because if there are, I’m sure our class will also visit it. When it comes to adventure, don’t miss to try zip line and trekking. If you want your bonding to be chill and simple, just walk around the park listed below, feel the cool breeze and greenery field.
