I'm always looking for new places to visit that's both safe and enjoyable for my toddler :)
Bonifacio High Street in Global City, Taguig, tops my list. We go here at least once a week. My baby can freely run on the grass, admire the fountains, and interact with other children. There is also almost always an interesting assortment of dogs walking around, providing additional entertainment for a curious toddler. Best of all, there's no admission fee here! ;)
If you'd like to encourage reading, drop by Fully Booked's children's section. There are tables and chairs fit for your little ones and at least four "gondolas" of books that can be freely read. With a wide selection covering kids' favorites such as Dora (and Diego!), Thomas The Tank Engine, Disney, Sesame Street, etc., your toddler is sure to find a good read.
If toys are your thing, move on to Hobbes for a selection of educational and deluxe baby toys. Or simply cool down with a frozen yogurt.
The variety of shops and eateries here are sure to make this place a family favorite. All of the products are quite pricey, though. You must learn the fine art of window shopping to merit regular trips to this area. :)
Travel Tips:
(1) If you have a baby/toddler, weekday trips would be best so the place is not overcrowded.
(2) Afternoon is the best time to visit as this is when your child will be able to mingle with other kids.
(3) Most shops here open at 11AM.
(4) If your child plans to run around, pants and rubber shoes are highly recommended. Mosquito repellant never hurts either ;)
(5) If it's raining, you may want to take a rain check. The fountains are typically off when the weather is bad and you won't be able to roam around the open areas.
