Tramping Tagaytay

Another busy week, Another stressful workload, so it's time to unwind and freshen up. Where else is the closest best venue for an out of town trip for us here in the Metro? For me, it's still my favorite side trip place - Tagaytay City.
Tagaytay will never run out of good places and things to offer for kids, for friends, for lovers and for everyone!

As a good start, we decide to eat breakfast at the bag of Beans along Aguinaldo hi-way

There are talking birds that entertain the guests in the garden area

table seating for those who want to dine in the garden area

the indoor restaurant has a cozy atmosphere

Cute ansd Clean rest rooms

One of their specialties - Beef n mushroom pie ( Single serving of pies is only less than 100 php)

This Shrimp Entree is definitely worth tasting ( Kinda expensive about 350 Php I think, but is worth the price )

Try their best seller - hot chocolate

We decided to spend our afternoon at the PARADIZOO.

How to get there: From Tagaytay highway ( from the rotonda ), turn right to Mendez the street (after the public market), go straight and turn left on the intersection before the tricycle line. Better to ask directions from the natives of the place since there are no road signs going to the zoo.

Entrace fee is 99Php and you can request a tourguide for small groups free of charge. If you also want to visit the zoo at Residence inn, You can get a 180 Php bundle for entrance on both zoos.

That's our informative tour guide educating us about Paradizoo

For those who are not in the mood for walking, you can rent a golf cart to use in touring the zoo

You can feed the camels but ask your tour guide first

Their main star is BULL-TEZ- FIVE, the 5- legged bull

Some of the animals you can see inside

Inside the butterfly sanctuary

You can have some refreshments at the gazebo at the ceter of the zoo

Next stop, another zoo in Tagaytay - The residence Inn mini-zoo
This mini zoo is really small compared t o Paradizoo so for those who don't have much time to spend, but wantd to see some animals, then thjis is the place for you. This place is conveniently located at the Main Highway. Entrance fee is about Php 100.
