Manila Zoo, Philippines

I am a huge fan of up close encounter to any animal... much wild, the better. Thus when I had the chance to visit Roxas Boulevard, i didn't miss going to Manila Zoo which is located 2 blocks away from where I was. It is in between Mabini and Adriatico Streets. If you are planning to go there using a cab, then a taxi driver will surely know the way.

from then up to now, I never missed going to this place when I visit Manila. It is always an add up to my itinerary. Speaking of fun, this place can surely materialize the meaning of it.

Manila Zoo is one popular wildlife home in the heart of Metro Manila. It is a 5.5-hectare park which houses approximately 500 animals. Admission here is only adult: 40.00 kids: 20.00. Various types of reptiles to wild mammals can all be seen in here enclosed in their cages. From the entrance, an indian elephant will immediately welcome you on the right side. Then some cute ostriches running inside their caged haven will be noticed just in front of you. A reptile section which houses pythons, iguana and the like can be seen when you move a little more to your right... And many more animals grouped according to their specie can be seen up close as you tour the place.

What made me truly enjoy my visit is their kinder section. By paying an additional 200 php you have the privilege to enter this area. In here you wont only see birds, crocodiles, snakes and ostriches, but also you can touch and hug them. Prepare those cameras because these animals love to smile with you in a photo too. Professional photographers have also their shutters ready for your glamorous smile in exchange of a small fee of course. Aside from that, they also offer adventure games. Though the games they have only cater kids since their rapel, wallclimb and zipline sections are too unchallenging for adults. These activities are included on the additional fee you paid.

Aside from these, Manila Zoo now also have a boating section where you and your friends can enjoy boating in a small lagoon.

When you have kids with you, Manila Zoo also has a playground where you can let your kids enjoy playing with new friends.
