Reptiland Adventure – Tagaytay Side Trip Part II
Reptiland Adventure is located at Alfonso, Cavite--a town near the hills of
Tagaytay. Driving to Reptiland takes about 30mins from rotunda with moderate
traffic. We saw the signage while on our
way to Gingerbread house and decided that it could be a fun place to visit;
what with dinosaur statues dotting the area.
My boys love dinosaur, especially France. He’ll like it.
So, after our time at Gingerbread house—read all about it here, we turn the car around and headed to Reptiland Adventure. It was late in the afternoon then. About 4PM and I was hesitant if they would allow us inside the park.
Entrance fee posted is P300 per head, which is high considering that we would only have a few hours inside the park and we’re a party of four. The attendant saw my hesitation and decided to offer me a discount--P1000 for us four. Money exchanged hands and I saw her going on radio and advising whoever is inside the park that guests are coming.
Props at the entrance look well-made and that got me a bit excited. Plus, we’re hearing jungle noises, ala Jurassic Park.
So we ventured inside, walk the winding path and trek down the hill to look for reptiles.
Sadly, the only reptile they have that might still be alive is a phython. Curled on itself and looking dead or at least very annoyed. Not even a house lizard on site! Just that one python!
But they do have this impressive life-size props of famous Disney characters and super heroes.
They also have cool animatronics. The sound, movement and how it was made was on point.
They look like props on a movie set. Selfie time.
There’s a horseback ride, using a single dour looking pony. Price of which is not included on the entrance fee.
There's also a butterfly sanctuary, but we can’t find the entrance too it, nor do we see any butterfly from the outside.
Lastly, we saw this huge playground with faux-grass carpeting.
There’s a very nice mural of popular anime characters on the side that got our attention.
This is where the kids had a blast, literally rolling down the hill, running around and just being a kid.
Dean tried to do the same stunt, cause why not?
