Tagaytay weekend Part 2 (Sky Ranch)

As my kids were first timers to Tagaytay, we had to take them to the usual areas where kids are most likely to enjoy.

Sky ranch is the newest place that opened last month in Tagaytay. Its besides Taal Vista Hotel where there were horses to ride. Apparently, the SM group bought the area and made it into a theme park. The horse corral is still there, less smelly and better organized. We decided to skip that part of the park.









ticket prices




 
The entrance is 50 php  per person higher than 3 ft. We paid for three and the two kids went in for free. Payment for the rides are located at a booth inside the park.  Best time to go is late afternoon and stay until evening. Ride the sky eye first as this will have the longest line and you will still be able to enjoy the view. 








There were several rides that are opened and we could see new ones being built as well. The most prominent of these is the sky eye, a huge slow moving ferris wheel ride similar to the one in MOA. This one claims to be the biggest one in the country.


The sky eye provided  a good view of Tagaytay and the Taal volcano. The whole ride lasted 10 mins . I noticed each carriage has its own separate aircon unit. We took the ride late in the afternoon as we felt it was too hot to start at the park's opening time (12nn). At night, the sky eye lights up and has its own "light show".

she enjoyed the inflatable playground.


 
My eldest loved looking at the rides specially the carousel;  but once it started to moved she starts to kick and scream. Hmmm....definitely she did not get that trait from me! Buti na lang the staff was kind enough to let us exchange the ticket to the inflatable playground that she enjoyed so much that we had to carry her out and away from!
