Ark Avilon Zoo

It was my boyfriends birthday and we are looking for some place where we could have fun with kids. We were supposed to go to San Mateo to visit Avilon Zoo, but the transportation is not easy, its a big hassle to go in the Main Zoo especially if you're with your kids and you don't have your own car or service. So, my sisters had their fieldtrip last January in Ark Avilon Zoon in Ortigas, they said that it was really fun but the place is really small. So I googled and search what inside this Zoo in the City.

I liked the reviews from their page so we also decided to visit the Zoo.

It's really accessible, its only in Ortigas (ok, so I'm not actually familiar in places/landmarks of Pasig lol but its near in Tiendesitas ) and the taxi brought us there easily. You will see it easily as well, because the ARK is really catchy, (just imagine to see Noah's Ark in the City lol) hmmm Without any reservation we walked in their lobby and found the cashier easily there's also a bunch of aquarium reptiles in their entrance and the signage, notes, ambiance are really colorful and i don't know how to say this but there's already a happy feeling when you get inside.

Entrance

The entrance fee for Adults is 350 php , for kids was 200 and we got the other kid get in for free (:
Actually the place is not really small, its really spacious the wild animals are in their big habitats sealed with a big glass, i think their rooms are air conditioned :p The animals looks really clean and healthy. You will not smell anything stinky or something. The Birds are not in the cage, they are in a post where you can actually touch and interact with them. Their friendly staffs will assist you if you want to touch them, you can put them in your arms, head, shoulders or anywhere you want lol. The best thing is, you can feed some of their animals , mostly just the domestic animals like rabbits, hamsters, goats. You can a stick of carrots, string beans, leafy veggies for only 10 php. There's a big room where you can sit and feed the rabbits with the carrots. You can also hug or interact with their star-monkey JENNY for like every 20 or 30 minutes.

Another best thing? There's a free FISH SPA/ Dr. Fish Therapy !! YEAH! Spa houses charge it for like 250 php but in Ark Avilon, its free and its unlimited so while your kids are enjoying the animals you could just sit in there and let the Doctor Fishes clean your feet :) its really relaxing!

The place is really fun and very interactive for young ones and young minds. If you're with your kids it would be a good bonding if you'll bring them in Ark Avilon. The place is not crowded (well maybe we are just lucky cuz it was Sunday and there's only a few visitors.
