Hi there, just wondering if anyone has first-hand experience of great places for kids to go to/see/experience in the Philippines? Happy to hear about places in Manila, or anywhere across the archipelago. Will be heading back in July for a trip.

I鈥檝e an active 8-year-old. First trip to the Philippines for him. I鈥檝e visited PH a few times.

Yes, I鈥檝e looked at a few places online - but nothing beats first-hand knowledge!

Many thanks : )

Hi,

my son is 7.5 years old and hw loves to play on the front beach of Boracay.

If you like more indoor, go to Mall of Asia in Manila. On the top floor they have lots of kids attractions.

Better kids attractions are in Hong Kong and Singapore.

@Andy_1963 Thanks very much. Yep, my young-un鈥� gets plenty of beach time here in Taiwan - so definitely keen for the outdoors. But good to be open to all options. And best of luck getting your 7.5 year-old off the beach when it鈥檚 time to go home - I know the battle!

I think you need to consider what activities your kid/s enjoy at home. There is for example a good waterpark in CDO and CDO is also famous for adventure activities like white water rafting and canyoneering. There may of course be age restrictions on some of these activities.

Consider the activities your kid would enjoy聽 and search online for top things to do for kids in different parts of the Philippines. Play areas in the Malls maybe good for an hour or so but what kid likes to spend too much time shopping.
