Where to go in Tagaytay, for a Great Family Day Out, on a Budget

My friends were asking for information about our recent Tagaytay trip. So here are the details. It was definitely unplanned; all we want is for the kids to have a nice and relaxing day tour out of town. We left Pasig at around 11am. While hubby was driving, I just searched on mobile for places that we could go to, on a budget. We went to Nuvali, Puzzle Mansion, Sky Ranch and view deck overlooking Taal Lake.

First stop, NUVALI, Sta. Rosa Laguna. Good news is, it’s FREE! you’ll just have to park your car and have a nice walk to the lake.  Both our 6-mo old baby and 4-yr old son loved the place. Because of the fishes, lots and lots of them! Stampede! J It was a sunny day, that’s why we had to use an umbrella. But it was still relaxing (despite of the heat ) to look at the fishes swimming at the lake. And to make it more fun for kuya Shaun, daddy bought some food (for only P15/pack) so he can feed the fish.

Second, the Puzzle Mansion, Tagaytay City, entrance fee P100/head. Ms. Gina owner of the two-story Mansion is the Guinness World Record holder for the person who has completed the most jigsaw puzzles in the world. We went there because of that title, thought it will be interesting for our son. But he found it boring. Hehe! But it was still amazing how one person could finish all those puzzle pictures ranging from 100 pcs to 32,000 pcs!
 

Third, the Sky Ranch, Tagaytay City, admission fee is P100/head, we went on a holiday (50% discount) so we only paid for P50 per person. It has a great view of the Taal Volcano. On your way, you will immediately see the huge Ferris wheel along Aguinaldo Highway. Our son was very excited to ride this amazing Sky Eye, the Tallest Ferris Wheel in the country.  That he shouted louder in the car as we get closer and closer to the park (t'was kinda annoying, but FUN). 150 Pesos per person for a 10-minute ride to the Sky Eye. Pretty expensive huh? but it was worth it when we saw the big smile on our kids face. You won’t get dizzy riding here, because it’s air-conditioned and has music playing continuously. Oh let me tell you, before you leave this place you also need to pay for your parking.

Finally, EAT! Along Tagaytay-Nasugbu Hwy, you can choose from different restaurants (Starbucks, Pancake house, Max’s, Chicboy, Leslie's to name a few). After eating,  just a walk, right behind those resto, you'll see a fantastic view of the Taal Lake for FREE!

It was a really great quality time with my family. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
