Once Upon a Time in Manila Zoo

Last Sunday, when I was in my room I’ve noticed a box with a picture. Then I caught myself smiling alone – it was a picture of my father and I when I was a kid during a visit to Manila Zoo. Yes, Manila zoo has been one of the favorite places my family would visit whenever we were free. Though some details have been forgotten  due to the passage of time, the collection of pictures we have kept continues to tell the story of how wonderful childhood memories are.

My memories of Manila Zoo

The last time I went to Manila Zoo was last year together with my brother and his family. As always, we were first greeted by the Manila Zoo's lone elephant, Mali.  He is quite old but still catches the attention of many visitors. There are some sites which are great for taking pictures, but the most memorable things to capture on camera are the wacky things and crazy snapshots.

Tables for family picnics can also be found inside the park. Kids can also play at the children’s playground with swings, slides, monkey bars and many more. My unforgettable moment was when my brother and I tried the small man-made lake. I felt nervous, to be honest, but a cruise on the lake was quite enjoyable and relaxing.
Our whole day in Manila Zoo was very pleasurable. Although I m old enough to appreciate these things, they still make good memories for me to keep.

A day at Manila Zoo

With a fairly good balance of educational and entertainment attractions, Manila Zoo does its best to appeal to everyone. Located along Adriatico St., Manila, the zoo also has canteens, souvenir shops, boat rentals at the lagoon, and several playgrounds that cater to children and tourists.
