It's a payday weekend! Make the most out of it and enjoy quality bonding time with the family. Do something fun, eat good food, shop and unwind. Need ideas? Here are several things happening this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday you should check out:
What to do
Treat the kids to budget-friendly Fun City
Need ideas on where to take the kids? Head to Fun City at Ali Mall in Quezon City. At P250 an hour for one child and one adult companion, the kids get to play in a bouncy house, pretend-play booths (fire station, hospital, etc.), a sandbox, an obstacle course gym, and ball pits. But our favorite is the mini excavator where the kids can get on the machine and start digging.
Moms and dads, they have an area for adults as well with video games and videoke. Read more about Fun City here.
Ride bikes with the whole familyIf you're feeling adventurous, head to The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde in Quezon City. They have an outdoor trail, a kids track, and a pump park for more experienced bikers.
