Tired of the usual staycation where you've got nothing else to do but watch TV, eat, swim and sleep all day? You might want to try out one of Zoomanity Group's Theme Park, the Residence Inn Tagaytay.

Located at Km. 65 Tagaytay City, the Residence Inn offers modern room accommodation, a budget-friendly restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Taal Lake, 3D Movie, Animal and Magic Show, Playground, Wall Climbing, Outdoor Laser Tag, Horseback Riding, Zipline and a Mini Zoo. 



After our tour at Paradizoo Theme Farm, we went straight to Residence Inn to check out what they have in store for their visitors. Again, we were very lucky to be part of this tour because we got to meet the owner of Yupangco Group of Companies and Zoomanity Group, Mr. Robert Yupangco, together with his most trusted staff. We were supposed to have a short meeting over snacks to discuss some of his plans to create other theme parks in the country but we were not yet complete when he arrived at the gazebo & view deck restaurant so we decided to roam around the mini zoo.



You will find different fishes, turtles, snakes, scorpions, spiders, roaches, iguana and other creepy crawlies at the Serpentarium. This is not for the faint-hearted, but don't you worry, as they are all enclosed on huge glass aquariums. 

Once you step out of the Serpentarium, you will find yourself at the Show Area where Magic and Animal Shows take place complete with comfortable seats and a decorated stage. It also has a great view of the Taal Lake. 



There are a 2 restaurants inside the Residence Inn, one is at the Gazebo and the other is located at the View Deck:



After a light snack and a very informative discussion with Mr. Robert Yupangco and company, we then tried the Superman Zipline and the Cable Car, unfortunately I wasn't able to get a photo of my experience. I was really scared to try the Zipline at first because I consider myself an acrophobic, but I managed to give it a go and yes, it is really terrifying. On the other hand, I enjoyed the Cable Car. After the ride, you can purchase a souvenir photo at the designated booth.

Lastly, we checked out the outdoor mini zoo complete with a lot of tigers, birds, monkeys, horse, crocodile and a camel:


If you want to bring something home as a souvenir, there are shops all over Residence Inn with so many cute stuffed toys like these:


Definitely a great place to bond with your family! Kids would really enjoy seeing a lot of animals and even get to touch some of them through the Animal Encounter or even ride a horse. If the weather does not permit, there are a lot of indoor activities to choose from like the 3D Movies, Magic Shows, etc. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo of their rooms, but if interested, you may visit their Website and add them on their social media accounts to get updates on events and promos: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube.
