PARADIZOO: Celebrating the Fruits of the Agriculture Industry

“Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It is loaned to you by your children.”

Whenever I think of this proverb, one thing always comes to mind – Paradizoo Theme Park. Located in Mendez, Cavite, Paradizoo wholeheartedly commit in taking care of the environment and cultivates it for the generations to come, making it an ideal site for picnics, educational trips, outings and team buildings. So check out Paradizoo and be mesmerized with a garden Mother Nature built and experience paradise on Earth.

Recently, I got the chance to attend Paradizoo’s Power of Three Event, a floral, vegetable and agri-livestock fair. An enchanting spectacle of farmland and botanical garden welcomed us as we enter Paradizoo. The tour began with a stroll at the Farm Frenzy where it showcased a charming display of flora and fauna. In addition, there was also a demonstration on how to properly milk a goat and to shear wool. Next stop was the Butterfly Garden. I find it amusing to watch the butterflies dance around us while listening to a brief discussion about our winged friends. Then, a lecture about honey-making and the bee colony followed at the Bee Farm. Paradizoo really offers a lot of fun-filled educational activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Another highlight of Paradizoo is the floral landscape in a red carpet ensemble called the Stairway to Heaven. Fittingly, it ushered us towards the Orchid Pavilion and the Infinity Pond to which offered an overlooking view of the breathtaking floral paradise – Paradizoo. At the Pavilion, while taking lunch, we also feasted our eyes on the Bonsai Exhibit and the various flower arrangements courtesy of the Floral Designers of the Philippines. It was also during this time that we learned more about Paradizoo and its future plans. Then we headed to what is literally a tour of the famous folk song “Bahay Kubo.” All the 18 veggies mentioned in “Bahay Kubo” are in display to our amusement and it instantly became a personal favorite. Another personal favorite is the Noah’s Ark, a comforting means to express lasting tribute to our pets by selecting a burial vault and permanent marker. Closing the Paradizoo Tour was the greyhound racing. Paradizoo surely offers a unique, fruitful experience.

Before finally calling it a day, we rested at the Residence Inn as the final leg of the tour. Here, we enjoyed back-to-back world class acts from the snake charmer Serpentina and a fusion of animal show and magic show into one. The Residence Inn also offers a lot of exciting activities to do like Wall Climbing and Horseback Riding. And one shouldn’t simply miss a ride on the Cable Car and the Zipline. But to top it all, I think the best part is enjoying the serenity of the moment while sipping a hot “ginataan” and being captivated by the view of the majestic Taal Volcano. The Paradizoo-Residence Inn Tour is really worthwhile. So take time to visit these wonderlands and be part in the noble cause of making the country one big green park.
