Picnic Grove - Tagaytay City

One cheap attraction well-commended when you visit Tagaytay is the Picnic Grove. This is located in Brgy. Sungay which is in the east-end of Tagaytay City on the way towards the Royal Taal Inn and People's Park in the Sky.



This place offers a great view deck where you can have a good glimpse of the famous Taal Lake. Cottages for picnic sessions scatter in the place which you can rent during your stay- Overnight lodging is also offered. The prices do vary depending on the size of your rented cottage, prepare 100-250 fee. They also have grill pits where you can cook your barbecues which can be used for free. Moreover, you can enjoy mounting games with your kids in the terrain or walk with your friends in their Eco-Adventure Trail. This trail directs you to a brimful vegetation and unto a hanging bridge that will surely shake you. You will also be seeing a backdrop of people flying on a zipline.









What I enjoyed most in my visit there is their ZIPLINE and CABLE CAR. The zipline is a less than a minute ride that will give you a luscious view of the place. The cable car on the other hand is a slower ride where you can sit back, and just be overwhelmed of the height for 5 minutes. You are allowed to bring your camera during the ride but just make sure that you are holding it tight!! The rides operate from 9am up to 6pm.



Here are the rates of the rides:

WEEKDAY RATES:

1 way ride= Php 200/ person
2 way ride/ combination= Php 300/ person

WEEKEND/HOLIDAY RATES:

1 way ride= Php 300/ person
2 way ride/ combination= Php 400/ person

SOUVENIR PHOTO:

All rides are inclusive of one souvenir picture.

Horseback Riding is also a fun ride to try in Picnic Grove. Expect that horse owners will drag themselves to you as soon as you arrive shouting out loud the name of their horses- Piolo!!!! Sharon!!!! and many more familiar names... lol. If you are up for such, just prepare Php200 for big horses and Php100 for the smaller ones. You also need to pay an additional Php150 for the Adventure Trail. A guide will be with you throughout your ride. Well, I could not talk more about it since I was not able to experience horseback riding that time.

I got lucky though, was able to witness a free concert by ichy worms sponsored by smart..!! :)



But all in all, it was one great stopover to ponder again and again! =)
