My best friends and I went to Enchanted Kingdom last July. It was part of our itinerary when we visited Manila for a barkada trip. For the past few days, it had been drizzling due to a typhoon, but we still decided to go around 2 PM when the rain had eased up. This blog is more of my review of the rides and attractions we experienced in Enchanted Kingdom. But let me give you more details about its location and ticket prices.

Enchanted Kingdom is conveniently located in Santa Rosa, Laguna, just a short drive from Metro Manila. To get there by public transportation, you can take a bus bound for Santa Rosa from various points in Metro Manila, such as Cubao or Buendia. Once you arrive at the Santa Rosa bus terminal, you can hop on a jeepney or tricycle that will take you straight to the park. If you’re driving, simply follow the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and take the Santa Rosa exit; the park is well-signposted and easy to find.

As of 2025, the entrance ticket prices for Enchanted Kingdom are as follows:

Regular Admission: ₱1,200

Children (below 48 inches): ₱600

Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities: ₱1,000 (valid ID required)

Here are the attractions and rides I experienced with friends:

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The bump cars were a blast! With a wide space to maneuver and enough time to enjoy the ride, it was the perfect way to kick off my day at the park. Bumping into friends added a competitive edge to this classic ride!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The EKstreme Tower was so crazy! You go up this 40-meter tower, and then— I just heard a click, and then I dropped without warning! I felt my butt lift off the seat for about three seconds before I hit the seat again. This ride is the highest one next to the Ferris wheel, and it’s a must-try for anyone who loves thrills. You definitely don’t want to miss it!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐

For a more relaxed experience, the Wheel of Fate was perfect. It offered stunning views of the entire park, making it a great choice for sightseeing. While it was quick, it provided just enough thrill to keep it interesting.

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WILD!!!! The Air Racer had me spinning around in circles, and at one point, I wished I could stop! After circling around what felt like ten times, I thought my blood pressure might have shot up. It’s exhilarating, but be prepared for some serious dizziness!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was my favorite ride! Initially, I thought it would be scary, but it turned out to be so much fun. It felt like swinging high up in the air, and I couldn’t resist raising my hands while at the top. The thrill of going up was exhilarating!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐

The Rialto offered a fantastic 4D movie experience. With 3D glasses on, I enjoyed a quick film while my chair moved, complete with water spray effects and other surprises. It was a fun break from the more intense rides!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super fun! Just a heads-up, you should definitely wear a raincoat and waterproof shoes for this ride. The more passengers, the merrier, and watch out for those surprise bumps! My body felt the impact, but it was all part of the fun!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This ride quickly became one of my favorites too! It reminded me of the Air Racer but with a twist. You feel like a spinning top, experiencing a thrilling mix of a roller coaster and a merry-go-round—on steroids!

Fun Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Jungle Log Jam features two exhilarating drops that you won’t want to miss! Whether you choose to keep your eyes open or not, the thrill of plunging down the river is unforgettable. Just remember to wear a raincoat and waterproof shoes, and keep your mouth closed to avoid drinking the water!

We also caught the Kingsmen Show, a trio of male singers who perform two shows a day. We assumed it's like a typical theater performance, but we were pleasantly surprised to be serenaded by three talented men with amazing voices.

There were other rides, but we were all wet from the Rapids, and it was already time for the fireworks show. Some rides were closed, especially the Space Shuttle, which I was looking forward to. Not sure when this will open again.

Overall, my day at Enchanted Kingdom was filled with laughter, thrills, and unforgettable memories. Each ride offered a unique experience, making it a perfect destination for anyone looking to have a great time. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking for a fun day out, Enchanted Kingdom has something for everyone!

It’s refreshing to finally watch a vibrant, lively superhero film again. The color grading alone already made me feel nostalgic—even though I’m a '90s baby! Hehe.

Now, let’s talk about the cast. To be honest, I’m still very much Team John Krasinski and Chris Evans—they are Reed Richards and Johnny Storm for me. So I wasn't 100% sold on the new lineup at first. But Pedro Pascal? Of course he’s not bad with anything. Haha! Eventually, I liked him as Reed. And after watching Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm? I’m totally sold. She nailed it. She deserves “Mother of the Year” just for this movie.

Galactus was so good. Hoping he had more screen time and a stronger backstory, he could’ve been even more terrifying than Thanos, especially for viewers who aren’t familiar with the comics.

As for Silver Surfer (or Shalla-Bal in this version)—I had mixed feelings. Julia Garner is a great actress, but her portrayal didn’t quite match the image I had in mind. I expected a tall, commanding, voluptuous presence. She was scary, yes—but not as visually intimidating as I imagined.

The visual effects were mostly solid, except that one part—in a bad way. When The Thing carried the baby, the CGI felt a little off and jumpy. Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch it in IMAX? It was definitely noticeable.

Story-wise, I loved the reintroduction. The pacing and conflict were well-placed. I'm just curious why they added The Thing’s love interest subplot. Anyone else noticed that? Let me know if there’s a reason behind it.

Overall, it’s a great comeback for the Fantastic Four. Way better than I expected—especially after Thunderbolts. I'm now super curious to see how they’ll explore Franklin Richards and his insane power level in the future.

If you’re planning to watch it, I suggest going all out and seeing it on the big screen or IMAX. Totally worth it.

The NUSTAR Golf Tournament 2025 came to a thrilling conclusion at the picturesque Alta Vista Golf and Country Club on July 25, 2025, after a day filled with competitive spirit and camaraderie.

Recently, my friends and I took a day trip from Manila to Tagaytay, and our first stop was Balay Dako by Antonio's for lunch. Despite the drizzly weather, we were eager to try this popular restaurant and enjoy the views of Taal Volcano.
