How did we get ourselves here anyway?
Well, we were a bit confused with the directions so from the grounds where it displayed different planes, we rode a jeepney back to SM Clark. We then made a "pakyaw" (or paid an entire jeepney ride) that would take us to the Picnic Grounds or where the Dinosaurs Island can be found. If we have more time, we could have opted to walk to shed some few sweats in our bodies and save some pesos. But anyway, what happened seems bound to happen anyway.
Honestly, it felt like I was in an American thrill movie set -- a zombie-themed movie!
The moment we stepped outside the park, we were welcomed then by this cute signage. The surrounding's atmosphere would give you such vibe that there might be dinosaurs around so I applaud for the owner to put up his park here. There are trees, foliage, and the beautiful Clark of course.
What are the things to look forward to? Well, on this blog entry, I would showcase to you some of the spots we visited since this park was quite big. We were also in a hurry to travel to Rizal where my family and I met some of our relatives from Leyte.
The 4th one in the photo set is actually my brother. Well, he resembles to a dinosaur but he does not belong to the group.
If you are not fond of selfies, you can ask a staff to take a photo of you or even ask their professional photographer to take a photo of you and have it printed as your souvenir.
Price Range
Like I mentioned, there are lots of amenities that you can enjoy inside. The following are the prices for each area:
Dinosaur Island - Php350.00 for adult and Php 300.00 for children
In this area, you can discover lots of dinosaur that moves. Of course, these are not real dinosaurs though. A tour guide would show you around and would explain to you these different species that used to exist. If you are fond of Jurassic Park, then you must love this place as well.
Jurassic Jungle Safari- Php 100.00 for both adult and children
Fortunately, we were able to visit this place. It allowed us to have a short tour inside their Jungle Safari. You can have a glimpse of it on the video I posted below which came from my youtube channel.
This photo was taken before our tour started.
I would lie if I would tell you that I fell in love with this place. I am actually not that impressed, but I suppose kids would love it. Aside from the fact that the place was not well-kept, the rain water was leaking. They should probably do something about it. Also, please take note that the items displayed were not real.
I would also suggest that they should assign someone who would not just assist the tourist but also give some quick trivias so that adults and children will somehow learn something from their musuem.
Wonders of the World allows you to have a quick tour on the wonders of the world. These are being showcased with the mini-structures that they made.
It is actually located adjacent to the Dinosaurs Island.
There is also a 7D Super Screen that allows you to experience 7Dimension videos for just Php100.00, feed the dinosaurs for Php20.00 only, and Insect Land which showcases giant replicas of insects that are said to have to existed before mankind roamed around the earth.
