In 1995, an amusement park called the Enchanted Kingdom was opened in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. This amusement park has been a part of the childhood of some of the parents today and whenever their kids "appeal" to them until now to take them there. Anyone who goes to this amusement park is especially thrilled to ride the various attractions that the park and recreation center has to give.
According to the newspaper article of Philippine Star (Dec. 2009), "Enchanted Kingdom (EK) was recently cited by the government of Laguna for generating the biggest tourist arrivals in 2008, amounting to more than 846,000 visitors our of the 1.974 million who visited the said province last year." That's a no-brainer because EK is Philippine's primary and only world-class theme park.
Park Zones
Inside EK, there are various Park Zones or designated areas. Upon entering the park, the Victoria Park will welcome you along its Victorian-era charm. Children and parents alike are continuously enchanted to ride in the rich Grand Carousel, the primary attraction in this zone, it is also Philippine's largest carousel.
