The Philippines: Cebu's Rainforest Park (what's for adults?)

Rainforest Park Cebu "is the first of its kind in Cebu of a well-thought unique concept that encloses an inspired mix of entertainment, adventure, recreation, leisure, educational, dining and unwinding for the entire family".

Rainforest Park Cebu is in Ayala Access Road, Panagdaet, Mabolo; here's the location map of Cebu's Rainforest Park, as copied from the park's official website:

The park is open from 9am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday, for everyone who wants to take a stroll or look around the place.  But the Jungle Adventures (rope obstacles) has an entrance fee of Php250 per person or a barkada package for 6 persons at Php1,250.00.

The website says the park has the Oceanarium Restaurant, Jungle Adventures, Amazon Aviary & Tarzan House, Oasis Spa and Salon and the Zoofari Cafe.

Of these, only the Jungle Adventures is fully operational.  This is understandable, as the park is less than three weeks old, at the time of our visit.  So I'd like to suggest to the park management to disclose this in their website, as it is misleading.  Also, the gallery in the website show pictures that are not from the park...that's too bad.  But the adventures are really worth your money, and the fun and memories your children get from the experience!  

Around the Jungle Adventures area, there are picnic tables and chairs where the parents and guardians can sit down and watch over the kids while they do rope obstacles.  But the number of tables/chairs are not enough...if the park management can just add some chairs, even without the tables, that would be a big improvement.

The Oceanarium Restaurant is only a restaurant for now, no acquariums yet. The gift shop is still wanting of novelty items which can really push one to part with cash.

The Amazon Aviary & Tarzan House is still not open but you can already hear recorded birds' tweets and chirps all over the park... quite misleading, too.

When we went there, Oasis Spa and Salon was used for a seminar or meeting?  Need I say more?

Zoofari Cafe was already open but they only serve cakes and coffee blends.  We were expecting there'd be sandwiches, especially after the kids did the adventures were really hungry, but were told sandwiches will be available next week.

There are refreshments around though, Hawaiian shave ice cream, water, cold drinks and ice cream.

We'll see if there will be improvements weeks or months from now.  I'm expecting the place to be a lot improved, as Christmas is just around the corner, and it really is a one-of-a-kind concept here in Cebu!
