For the family that loves the outdoors, the amenities of this park makes up for the estimated 3.5-hour drive from Metro Manila.

Many of us are already familiar with EK’s exciting attractions (Flying Fiesta and Rio Grande Rapids, anyone?), game booths, live shows, dining and shopping opportunities.
What makes a New Year’s trip to the Magic Kingdom special is that you finally have the time to fully enjoy the park’s amenities and shows. Here’s your chance to get on every ride available—twice!

Even with the absence of work and school, the endless parties and get-togethers of the holiday season can completely drain your energy. Take the time to recharge at the Philippines’ only hanging gardens and spa in Antipolo City!
It’s only about three hours away from Metro Manila (including traffic), with all the amenities you could wish for, including three infinity pools, Filipino-inspired massage cabins, cozy group lounges, fish pools, jacuzzis, saunas, and an in-house cafe.
