Clark Freeport Zone

Whenever I hear Clark it always trigger memories of when we visited EXPO PILIPINO a long long time ago…

Today, the heavens showed a sign that it’s time to revisit the place!

My wife has a scheduled team building in one of the famous water park in Clark on May 4, 2019. Instead of doing it alone, we decided to join the party because it’s more fun to do it with the Lozanos!

That Saturday morning we took off from Quezon City around 6am and arrived an hour and a half in Angeles City. We need to be in Aqua Planet as early possible so what we did was take out food in one of the fastfood resto along the way and consume it just before we went inside the park.

The place almost reached its full capacity so an advice from one of the staff is that you visit the place on a week day. Fortunately, the corporate event where my wife belongs ended early, freeing the park significantly!

You can just imagine how exhausting that day was, but everything was worth it since it brought smile on the faces of our kids. Priceless! 

We spend the night in an apartment near Marquee Mall and that’s another story to tell since things turn out differently than what we expected when we arrived there.

Early the next day we went to Dinosaur Island and Insectlandia. Kids today are really smart. On our way, they casually talked about it that it’s not real and just a robot… until they saw mr. T-REX face to face hahaha…

Below are rates on all activities available. You can also look for online promos to save some on your budget.

Still with energy, the kids spent all of it on some of the physical activities inside Insectlandia...

are you ready for the challenge?

Our next destination was Nayong Pilipino and it was really sad to find out it was closed and under renovation. If you’re planning to visit, schedule it on August 2019 or latter.

almost...

"Every cloud has a silver lining" and since the place is a “Freeport”, enjoy tax and duty free shopping!

sugar rush!

Puregold Duty Free

When we had enough looking around Puregold Duty Free and exhausting our pockets, it's time to find a good place to eat. What better option than to spend lunch in Meat Plus Cafe! Initially we were browsing through other restaurants here but the moment we saw that there was a Meat Plus Cafe, uwian na! may nanalo na!

Oven Roasted Beef Belly with Soup and Rice (a must have!)

We had some trouble moving around here due to some light rain showers but it didn't stop us from doing what we were here for. So before heading back to our base, we went to check Air Force City Park just a few blocks away to wrap our Clark visit.

It was really a fun filled weekend and we can do this more often on a budget!

By the way, as a piece of advise be careful always on the road since on our way back to QC, five vehicles crashed in NLEX. Not a pleasing sight to see so be safe everyone!
