Mom's World of Arts and Happiness: It's Still Cool to Zoo : For the Young or Young at Heart

It's Still Cool to Zoo : For the Young or Young at Heart

Do you still remember your first trip at the zoo? Do you still remember the feeling of seeing the big animals and be mesmerized by them. I know I do, still remember that going to the zoo is a big deal to us and that it’s a moment in my life that I will never forget. As time goes by and I had my own children, I make it a point for them to visit a zoo and encounter different animals and see them live and be curios and knowledgeable about how they live in the urban.

Going the zoo was also part of the field trips done by the school for the students before they shift to more extreme and adventurous theme parks. Going to the zoo has become corny or out of the mind of the youngsters because they find it dull

With that in mind, Zoomanity Group brings back the life of the zoo in so many ways. It’s Cool2Zoo because Zoomanity not only brings back memories of childhood but bring the excitement as well. Whether you are young or young at heart; whether you are with your family or with your barkada; there are more ways and places to enjoy going to the zoo.

I was able to visit two of the attractions that Zoomanity Group offers; the Paradizzo in Mendez Cavite and Residence Inn in Tagaytay. Going to Zoobic Safari in Subic is next to my list since I heard a lot of good things about the place

Visiting Paradizzoin Mendez brings me back to the old times, when there are tress and flowers everywhere. They grow organic vegetables where visitors like me could purchase with our hearts delight. There are animals everywhere and they even have a place for the dead animals, even the pig that was feature at the Pinoy Big Brother House was laid to rest in Paradizzo; where it became one of the attractions for the visitors.

There’s also a place in Paradizzo where you can experience firsthand how to milk a goat; that’s one of the most treasured experience that I will never forget.

There are souvenir shops where we could buy the pasalubong for our family.

Since we are near Tagaytay, we were able to visit the Residence Inn.

Residence inn is for the more adventurous type of visitors. The animals in Residence Inn are more extreme and speaking of extreme; there is also a zip line. It was actually my first time to try a zip line and I was actually clinging to the rope. I was already halfway when I open my eyes and find the most fascinating view in Tagaytay thru the Residence Inn Zip line Adventure.

Since we want to explore more of Tagaytay and it’s hard to travel back to Manila. There are lodges in Residence Inn where we could stay overnight. The rooms are equipped with desk, it good to know that it’s anon smoking room, there aircon and cable TV and hot shower as well since it was cool in Tagaytay.
