Sunday Trip to Enchanted Kingdom

One fine Sunday got exciting when some bloggers and I were invited to an afternoon trip to Enchanted Kingdom (EK). The weather was schizophrenic for being too hot in Manila yet rainy in Laguna.

Truly, EK has lived up to their tagline "the magic stays with you" -- visible from the long lines we saw even if it was rainy. I haven't been to EK for more than 3 years, and now that I'm back, the thrill of riding Anchor's Away, Flying Fiesta, and Space Shuttle among others was still there.

Aside from the rides that were at stake that day, we also got the chance to witness the Flores de Laguna en Mayo, a park-wide Santacruzan (or parade). It was supposed to start at three in the afternoon, but due to rains and other delays, it started roughly around 5:30PM. It was led by the band followed by Reyna's (Queens), little princesses, and winners of the Miss Philippines Earth 2010.

A few minutes after, we then proceeded to EK Biki Waterworld, which is just a few minutes walk from the main theme park. "EK Biki Waterworld has a variety of six giant inflatable pools with water slides, games and rides that families can enjoy in a safe and hygienic water environment," said Cynthia Mamon, EK's VP for Sales and Marketing. Admission rate is Php350 for EK Biki Waterworld only or Php700 (until June 6, 2010) if you purchase a "twicket" of EK Good-Same-Day and EK Biki Waterworld Regular Passes.

One of EK's corporate offerings that's good for teambuilding is called Aqualympics. It is sort of an amazing race where challenges must be completed in 6-10 pit stops, competing against other teams. The bloggers tried it out after dinner and we all share the same opinion that it's challenging and tiring yet super fun!

If you wanna try out EK Biki Waterworld, they're open daily from 4:00PM to 10:00PM. Guests should come in proper swimwear complete with swimming caps. For more details, you may call 584-3535 or 584-4326 to 29. You may also log on to www.enchantedkingdom.ph.
