SOMETIMES, the best way to escape the chaos of Metro Manila is a quick trip south to Tagaytay. Close enough for convenience yet far enough to feel like a getaway, the city’s cool climate and wide-open spaces have long made it a favorite spot for families.
Skyranch Tagaytay, one of Cavite’s top tourist attractions and a Department of Tourism-accredited leisure park, has unveiled two new features set to draw even bigger crowds: Cartoonville and Sky Spin.
Cartoonville is a 3,000-square-meter wonderland filled with light displays, live shows, and character meet-and-greets. Guests are encouraged to channel their “main character energy” by dressing in cartoon-inspired outfits while exploring the colorful venue. For P150, families get an all-day pass that includes access to the Village and Forest Lights, shows, and more, with children under 11 months admitted free.
The new zone also highlights three major attractions: a 26-foot Giant Slide, a 600-square-meter inflatable playground, and a 400-square-meter Gel Blaster area. Each can be enjoyed separately, starting at P120, or combined in an all-in-one pass at P499. A VIP option at P799 offers express lane access.
For thrill-seekers, the park has introduced Sky Spin, an extreme ride designed to get hearts racing. Inspired by the speed of a galloping horse, the ride is a giant spinning disk that swings back and forth while rotating 360 degrees in the air. At P120 per ride, it’s an adrenaline rush lasting three minutes, with a minimum height requirement of four feet.
With more than 39 rides and attractions now on offer, Skyranch Tagaytay continues to strengthen its standing as a landmark destination in the city. Operating hours run from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays—timed perfectly for the busy holiday season when families flock to the highlands for a quick recharge.
