Explore Bulacan: The Garden (Philippine Arena)

I would never imagine that I will set foot in Philippine Arena, it's because for me it is too far from home. But! I finally made it after we went to visit the Korean Church and Shrine of Kim Tae-gon.

Upon entering the vicinity of Philippine Arena, we paid Php50 for the parking fee. The staff in Philippine Arena are super nice they will guide you where The Garden is because they whole vicinity is huge!! And believe me you will really get lost. 

We visited The Garden last December 2017 the entrance fees were Php100 for adult and Php50 for Children (6 years and below). But as of January 25, 2018 they change their entrance fee. For more info you may check their Facebook page. 

They have restaurant inside but sometimes they ran out of supplies so the choices would be limited but you can bring your own food and eat inside your car or start a mini picnic in the parking. 

I really really want to be back in The Garden because I know they have so much more to offer and they are open from 8am to 11pm.

Casa Santa Museum

......This is not a paid blog.....

Maybe you are wondering how did I discover Casa Santa Museum? At first I saw this in a facebook group and the next one was with a friend who visited this beautiful place.

Casa Santa Museum is located in Antipolo just 1 hour drive from Quezon City. 

Museum’s open from 8am-5pm everyday unless they say that they will not be open. For more details here’s Casa Santa Museum facebook fan page. 

Entrance fee is Php180 for Kids to 59 years old. There is a discount for senior citizens. 😊 That includes the tour of the museum and also the garden. The place is huge but we did not have the chance to explore the garden because there was a wedding. 

The staff was accommodating they offer to take our picture (because I forgot to bring my tripod) and also they are open to suggestions. I wrote that hopefully they will extend their operating hours up to 7pm and also they should put christmas lights and make a lights and sound show just like in Ayala triangle or Trinoma.

 If you are reading this Casa Santa Museum I forgot to write that it would be nice if you also have an “in-house tour guide” just like in The Ruins or in Camiña Balay nga Bato. They explained about the history of the place. It would be much interesting if someone will explain about the history of the museum, like the people behid the collections, why are they collecting santa claus stuff, from where did they get those collectibles. I am one of those people who is curious about the place and not just instagram worthy place. An in-house tour guide will also be an expert on taking a good photo just to add. Lol!

All in all it was worth the drive. The place is amazing! Very christmasy and very timing for the upcoming holidays!
