Who knew that the day would come when the zoo would be a five minute drive from my urban residence? Well, that day came several years ago when Ark Avilon Zoo set up its headquarters in Frontera Verde, Tiendesitas, Pasig.
I have a niece and a nephew and it's my heart's desire to make them happy so I've taken them here on several occasions. They love this place as it allows kids to feed animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. There are so many animals available for viewing: a lion, a tiger, goats, donkeys, snakes, birds, a bearcat, orangutans (you can play with them!), a tortoise, fish, ponies, sheep, and even penguins! It's insane what the owners have come up with for this interactive indoors zoo. It's clean, entrance fee is totally reasonable, and it stinks but I'm guessing that has less to do with the maintenance than it has to do with the creatures that inhabit this wondrous place. :) Highly recommended. The kids love it here and so do I.
P.S. Once I even won a free two-night stay in Palawan because of a raffle they had going on! read more
