Family Day at DreamPlay Manila

After lunch at Rizal Park Hotel, we made our way to DreamPlay at City of Dreams Manila. It was a random decision. We didn’t have plans set in stone, but it turned out to be one of the best ways to spend a chill afternoon with the family. I’ve heard a lot about DreamPlay Manila, and since we were already nearby, we figured we’d check it out.

What you need to know before you go

Tickets are not cheap, but it really depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for. If your kid wants to try all the activities, go for the Participant Ticket which costs ₱1,500. It gives full access to everything from climbing walls to workshops.

Our experience at Dreamplay Manila

We arrived at around 2 PM. Audrey’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the Madagascar-themed area. She kept pointing at Po from Kung Fu Panda too. You could feel the excitement in the air.
