Paradizoo and Leisure Farms

Faye’s school had a field trip last 7 Feb. It was a much-awaited event for her, since the last time that she attended a field trip was three years ago. She was very excited that one week prior to her field trip, she kept on insisting that we pack her things already!

I had to accompany her, so, I paid for the two of us… We went to Paradizoo in Tagaytay and Leisure Farms in Batangas.

Paradizoo was a nice place for an educational trip. It was a huge place and at that time, it was very hot — we were hoping that it would be cold — so, it was really tiring to go around the place, but of course, the kids didn’t mind. They enjoyed petting and milking the goats, listening to the lesson on the life cycle of the butterfly, watching the bees, and of course the most exciting part for Faye was, riding the pony — it was just a 3-minute ride but she enjoyed it!

Afterwards, we went to Leisure Farms. It was also a huge place, and the kids really enjoyed running around the place, most of them not minding the tour guide who expertly narrated to us the history of each tree, the scientific name of each plant, the uses of each herb. We, parents, were saying that we were the ones who learned a lot from the trip and not our kids. But then, the kids enjoyed the interactive activities that they had, like:

touching the worms (at first Faye said she will touch the worms
but she backed-out when she saw them)
these were cultured worms, their food is grass, and their poops are used as organic fertilizer

    She also enjoyed the five hanging bridges

    and the most exciting part was: getting wet inside the flower garden. The tour guide turned on the Misting Machine so the kids had fun running around the garden with the mist getting them wet.
