Kid-Friendly Amusement Parks to Visit in the Philippines

Feeling a little adventurous and planning an activity-filled day for your little ones? We’ve got you! In this article, we’ve compiled a list of tried-and-tested amusement parks in the Philippines — guaranteed to deliver maximum fun.

Whether you're in the mood for classic theme park rides, an indoor playground, or a full-on water park, you're sure to find the perfect place for your family right here.

Let’s start with places you can visit right in Metro Manila!

Star City is one of the most accessible amusement parks in the metro. It began as an offshoot of the annual Toys and Gift Fair, and due to the consistent crowd turnout, it evolved into a full-time amusement park. For years, Star City was a well-loved icon — until a fire in 2019 forced it to shut down. It remained closed through the COVID-19 pandemic and only reopened once restrictions eased.

When it finally reopened, it returned bigger and better — featuring brand-new rides and attractions for every age group. There are kiddie rides, thrilling attractions for teens and adults, and family-friendly options everyone can enjoy.

Rates start at: P600 for a day pass.
