Things to Do
Whether you’re looking to enjoy nature, see the sights or look for adventure at a theme park, you’ll find no shortage of things to do while in Tagaytay.
- People’s Park – Once an incomplete mansion by Ferdinand Marcos, it was once called Palace in the Sky. The government decided to repurpose this land and turn it into a public park.
- Taal Lake and Taal Island – A visit to Tagaytay is not complete without seeing this area.
- The Sky Ranch – If it’s an amusement park you’re seeking, this is the place. Don’t forget to check out the famous Ferris wheel, the “Sky Eye”.
Other highlights include Sonya’s Garden, Picnic Grove, horseback riding and, of course, the Taal Volcano.
