Thousands
of people head south of Manila to spend a day of fun-filled
relaxation and adventurous excitement within the American-style
walls of the Enchanted Kingdom, a 17-hectare theme park located
in the outskirts of Sta. Rosa, Laguna (south of Manila).
Enchanted
Kingdom, a short five-minute ride from the Sta. Rosa Tollgate
of South Luzon Expressway, brings the closest version of Disney-type
leisure in the country. The theme park, managed and operated
by Amtrust Leisure Corporation (ALC), offers thrilling rides
like Grand Carousel, Flying Fiesta, Rialto, Space Shuttle,
Log Jam, Wheel of Fate, Condor, Up Up and Away, Roller Coaster,
Anchors Away, Dodgem, Stone Eggs, Air Pterodactyl, Swan boats,
and Bump n Splash.
Enchanted
KingdomAside from the rides, the Enchanted Kingdom also charms
its visitors with various treats such as the fireworks show
every weekend, dance presentation by the park’s in-house
talents, theater shows, seasonal shows, well-manicured gardens,
classic American brownstone facades and establishments, and
a variety of characters and mascots led by the Wizard.
The
Enchanted Kingdom is about 26 kilometers from Makati City
or about an hour travel by car. A point-to-point bus shuttle
service is available from Makati City to the Enchanted Kingdom
and back. Seats are on a first-come-first-served basis.
