The 13 best parks and gardens in Subic Bay Freeport Zone

One of the better zoos in PH. It's situated in a protected forest area some of the animals are really near in their natural habitat. There were some up charges like photo and feeds for animal but they're cheap. It was a nice experience overall. The staff were helpful and in knowledgeable. Some of the amenities and attractions need some maintenance.

While it's endearing to see animals in person, it’s also saddening to realize how many of them are not free in the wild. We're uncertain if they receive enough food, and I noticed that their habitats aren’t ideal for them. A couple of sections were also closed or uninhabited, which added to the sense of emptiness. We paid nearly P900 for the tour here, which feels like a lot, but I’d like to believe that a significant portion of the profit goes toward supporting the animals. The zoo also offers a variety of other activities for tourists to try, though these come with an extra charge. Additionally, there are stalls where you can grab a bite to eat or buy souvenirs. Booking days prior gives you big discounts.

I’m so glad we visited — it was such a fun and unique experience! The white tiger completely stole my heart. It was so fluffy, it honestly looked like a giant stuffed toy! I’ve never been to a zoo with this many crocodiles before — it was impressive! There were also many animals that are native to the Philippines, some of which I had never seen before, which made the visit even more fascinating. I was surprised to see wagyu cattle there as well. We went on a Sunday morning, and it wasn’t too crowded, which made for a relaxed experience. There’s a drive-through area in the zoo, but you actually get out of the car to view the animals in their enclosures — so no need to worry about animals approaching or the car getting dirty.

I love the place becauss i love the animals Also have a lot to look at, the view the animals plus the interaction with the animals is fun.

Must visit place add this to your itineraries. Lot's of selected animals to see specially lions, tigers, birds, etc. A nice place to visit. Just use the google maps app for your directions. I recommend download the an offline maps. Signal is quit not that good. Hoping that this place will be improve more.

The animals seem to be well taken care of, loved the animals here. The workers at the airsoft shooting range are soo kind and accommodating! Make sure to visit them!

the place is nice so many animals too see but some animals looks so sad some cages dont even have waters, looks so dry, some cages looks forgoten and not well take care of , the ostrich looks unhealthy no more feathers, the tigers are the only highlight in all attractions

We visited Ocean Adventure on a weekend, arriving right at 9 AM when the park opened. We were fortunate to catch the dolphins near the shallow water along the shore, which was a magical experience. The acrobatic show was the highlight of our visit—it was both thrilling and awe-inspiring! The entrance fee is ₱850 for adults and ₱650 for kids. While the basic entry provides access to the park, any animal encounters or photo ops come with an additional charge. On the downside, there wasn’t much to do outside of the dolphin and sea lion shows. The aquarium was smaller than I expected, with a limited number of fish, which was a bit underwhelming. The primary attractions are undeniably the dolphins and sea lions, and while they’re incredible, I hoped for more variety in terms of activities. I was also a bit disappointed that for the photo opportunities with the animals, guests are required to use their own cameras or phones, instead of having a photographer available. I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra if they offered this service, and perhaps even printing the photos on-site. Additionally, the food prices were quite steep, and since you're not allowed to bring your own food or drinks, you're forced to buy inside—something I wasn’t thrilled about. If you visit, I'd recommend packing your own food and eating in the car to save on costs. Despite these small setbacks, I thoroughly enjoyed the visit, especially the park's strong message of animal conservation and environmental protection. The souvenir shop was a pleasant surprise too. The prices were reasonable, and we picked up quite a few toys for the kids. All in all, I had a great time, and the experience was definitely worthwhile!

Nice family fun place and very clean and well cared for. Shows are good except seating is awful and uncomfortable. Concrete benches. Staff is all very polite and helpful. Does not take long to do entire place. About 4 hours and you see it all. Very hot though. Animals seem well catered for unlike zoo and other places around here.

We enjoyed our visit. Very educational tour. Your kids will enjoy the whole show. Better go here early as it's get really crowded. We bought our tickets here at Klook.

It is a nice attraction yet might still be considered pricey as there are only 6 attractions - acrobatics, wild animals, dolphin, sea lion, and additional (optional with additional fee) sharks & turtles, voyager (aquarium view of fish and sharks (optional, no additional fee). All main attractions last approximately 30-45mins, but you will learn about the specific subject of attraction. Acrobatics is superb and really worth the realization for everyone about the importance of proper waste management and caring to our environment. It would be better to have more attractions to offer and more engaging tour paths.

I'll rate this 5 star for kid's/teenage experience. 4 as overall for different ages. 1st time I got here is year 2007 high school field trip. Seeing and watching the sea creatures sea. Lion, dolphins, BLACK WHALE upclose is one of the best experiences in teenage life. Hindi naman kami mayaman noon pero because of the school field trip we were able to go to this bongga na attraction. As is meenjoy mo talaga lahat ng activities dito if first time mo kahit na adult ka na, just like my wife 1st nya last Feb 2022 and nagenjoy sya. Dolphin show, one of the most awaited activity same with lion show. nakakatuwa ang galing ng mga dolphins, salute din sa mga handlers. i'm still lucky because in the year 2007, we witnesed the YOUNG BLACK false? KILLER WHALE together with the dolphins, tossing the handlers, the black whale toss is strong making the handler fly. It's a shame that i coudn't share the photo to you because my keypad phone got damaged before google photos and reviews became known. Believe me never did I imagine and thought that this whale can perform tricks, it's really entertaining. But sadly I read an articles that the whale died yr 2014, other whales shipped to Subic bay died earlier year too. 1st time riding a motorcycle in Zambales, 1st time sa Subic free port zone grabe parang nasa ibang bansa, 1st to stop 1st to go, talagang magsstop ka in each corner kasi puno ng Camera ang roads nila, otherwise matiticketan at mabubusinahan ka. Unforgettable moment yung sa papunta na ng ocean adventure, the road, the place is very serene, then paisa isang vehicle lang ang nadaan, puro naka 4wheels pa kaya I'm quite nervous din noon kasi kami lang nakamotor noon. 😅😬 May mga improvements parin silang gngawa, and I'm pretty sure if nagkaanak ako ill definitely bring my kid here. See other reviews in the photo captions.

As of my visit last sunday as part of a field trip, there were no longer aquariums, although the whole park itself doesn't just limit itself to marine animals—there are also a variety of land animals to learn about especially in one of the many performance areas that are scheduled and open for viewing. An important thing to note is that the areas are fairly spread apart, requiring moderately long walks to go to from one place to another. The food prices also highly vary, with those offered in the stalls nearby the performance areas being more expensive than the actual restaurant just outside the gift shop upon going in (though the restaurant food is actually quite good). Parking is plentiful, even with multiple tour buses parked. It's also not uncommon to coincide with a school's fieldtrip if you decide to go on your own or with your family, but I can assure you there is something to entertain everyone regardless of age. I have been here before in my childhood days, and it has definitely improved and expanded upon ever since. It is a bit distant even from Subic Bay itself, but it's a nice place to go to whether for field trips or your travel getaways.

The sea lions and dolphin shows are the best highlights of the park. They are fun to watch. Check the website for the schedule. Weekend and Public holidays have the same schedule. Weekdays have different schedules. There is a cafe where you can eat and chill while waiting for the next show.

I recently visit at Inflatable island and it was such a refreshing experience. The location is perfect—right by the beach with a stunning view of the ocean. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making it very comfortable. The staff were friendly, approachable, and always ready to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food served at the restaurant was delicious, offering both local and international dishes. One of the highlights was the beach itself—clear waters, soft sand, and relaxing vibes. The resort also had great amenities like a swimming pool, bar, and outdoor activities that kept us entertained throughout. Overall is a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway. 🌊✨

The staff were very kind and welcoming especially the one who assisted us during our team building activity. To add, the food was also amazing, the serving is generous, the bulalo is very tender. The place offers a lot of activities for a group.

We had a great team-building day tour at Inflatable Island. We really enjoyed our time there, from the food and the delicious drinks at their Sula Bar to the fun experience on the inflatables. Just be prepared to get tired once you finish all three parts of the inflatable course. It's a nice activity to do with friends.

Really enjoy this place, perfect for celebration on any occasions. So nice & friendly all of the staffs. Also the food is delicious with this beautiful view. I will comeback to this again☺️

If you're looking for a unique, adrenaline-pumping getaway, Inflatable Island in Subic, Philippines, is a must-visit! This floating water park is one of the biggest in Asia, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. From the moment you step onto the vibrant, pastel-themed shore, the vibe is all about fun, sun, and play. The inflatable course itself is massive – filled with slides, towers, swings, bridges, and obstacle courses that are perfect for kids and adults. It’s like a playground on water, and it brings out the inner child in everyone. What makes the experience even better is the aesthetic beach setup. The Bali-inspired lounging area with its signature pink umbrellas is Instagram-ready. Whether you’re there to play hard or chill by the shore, there’s something for everyone. 🤩

We had a wonderful experience at the Inflatable Island. Miss KC of Balay Balay was very accommodating and friendly. Also special mention to Kuya Zaldy and Kuya Dang for assisting us in the inflatables. All staff are very welcoming! We will be back :)

Our visit to Inflatable Island Subic was made special by the cheerful and helpful staff, particularly Migs at the front desk and dining area. He made us feel at home by accommodating us and providing an orientation on how to enjoy the resort. The food at the restaurant was delicious and worth the price. One area for improvement is the beach cleanliness, although it was understandable given the heavy rain the day before. Additionally, the barnacles under the inflatables could be cleaned and removed, as some of us sustained scratches and gashes. If you plan to visit and try the course, make sure to wear long-sleeve rashguards, leggings, aqua shoes with rubber sole, and even gloves if you can. The risk of getting scratches and cuts is really high because of barnacles and oysters attached to the inflatables. Apart from these issues, everything went well. We booked the whole day ticket but we only stayed for about 4 hours, and we only spent one hour on the inflatables.

I actually visited this place a few years back and it hasn't really upgraded except that we got lost in the garden maze this time.😅🤣 We didn't have to wait for our ticket since we were the only ones there at that time a group of 12 people. We ventured to the mirror maze, dark room, enchanted forest which was 3D and we had the chance to take pictures in the 3D frames. Also, there are educational activities for kids and fun play as well. The kids got the chance to try the trampoline and slide down the hill after the garden maze. However, kids below 6 yrs old are not allowed due to safety reasons. Its a simple yet fun way to treat yourself and the kids.

Fun place for family. Staff is super friendly and price is very affordable. Don’t expect anything super fancy but we had a good time! Monkey is not part of park but he just showed up out of the forest and watched us. Even posed for a picture. I think they are used to people.

friendly staffs, we got lost in the maze which is so funny and their staff helped us get out off it. my favorite part is the mirror room! it's like so trippy and fun! the super dark room is my second favorite one 🥳🥳

Entrance fee is 350 as of now. But i got my voucher in metrodeal for 209. Wear your facemasks. Very funtastic place. I hope they make the mirror maze a bit longer. Lots of picture perfect moments inside and outside. The place is fun, lots of things to do. But not recommended when you think there are a high volume of people visiting the place. Everything will be cramped up inside a small building. And the parking lot can only accommodate 10 to 15 vehicles max. Everyone inside is friendly and helpful. Must try the garden maze. Its fun and at the same time annoying because we always gets lost inside. The venue is inside a small building, bring umbrellas in case its raining because you must try the garden maze outside. There is also a trampaulin for kids and adults alike.

Had a great time with this place, admittedly we didn't plan to visit since we are on our way out of the Zoobic safari. It turns our a blessing since its a wholesome place for the Family, its simple yet very fun and guaranty for a good time.

Awesome, fantastic, grabe It was wonderful experience and unforgettable place. Educational, fun, beautiful spot in Subic bay! I strongly recommend here!!

the indoor attractions were good but, it would have been better if the overall look and feel of the interiors, the decors and paints could be improved and maintained properly.

Magaul Bird Park and jest Camp is a great place to bring your kids for them to learn and have fun. This is the only bird park that I have been to that has a good bird encounter as the birds fly above your head. Tips: 1. Good to go here during summer 2. Stay near the right isle as the activities are done more from that side. 3. Best to come in the morning or late afternoon.

Venue for the First Eagle Scouts Organization of the Philippines Encampment. The Encampment happened in October 2016. The event was held to help organize the ESOP as an organization that will actively support the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. Various activities were made available by the very able camp staff. Survival skills (fire by friction, water from vine) were taught to the attendees that was made up of Eagle Scouts Awardees (Highest Rank in the Scouting Movement Advancement Ladder). The various skills were actually refresher courses for many of the Eagle Scouts as these skills had been taught to them being requisites for the various Merit Badges required for the Advancement. The Maragul Bird Park was more than enough for the needs of the survival-ready Eagle Scouts. Subic has improved so much with their facilities. Family outings, corporate outings, school outings can have its maximum potential in these types of facilities. Lodging was as good in the bunks. Water supply was ample and non-stop. The trees are still aplenty.

Our family had so much fun here! My sis is a huge bird fan and she very much enjoyed herself. We received a 2-hour guided tour through the park that included a survival training demonstration, and bird show! Mark (our guide) was very nice. He explained each of the birds. The survival training was my highlight because it included a demo of how to make fire by just using bamboo! Great picture opps and souvenirs too!! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

The beautiful birds are not well taken care of. The cages/enclosures are very small, have no roof, untidy and the plants/trees inside are dried/dead. The place needs major remodelling/upgrading.

They have different variaties of birds! Good to bring children. Just make sure of the season.. not suggested during rainny and super hot days..

Love to see a place where our katutubo shares knowledge and skills in jungle survival.

Amazing birds!! 💙💙

Enjoyable experience at the old upper MAU camp/JEST. Subic one has 4 rides plus trekking. The Tree Drop is the most adventurous...the staff is very friendly and helpful. No GoPro allowed on Superman ride unless used with wrist strap. Website indicates they accept credit card but they haven’t on my two visits. You can get two people through the rides for about 1600 pesos. Recommend this attraction if you are in the Subic area.

We were there!!! These visitor have enjoyed TREE TOP so much.

Great family fun and friendly staff!

If you are a adventurous type, I recommend this place. If you have fear of heights its time to face your fear and experience the adventure!

Very friendly and engaging staff with lots of knowledge. Don't miss the trek... It's way better than it sounds as you will learn how to make a cup, spoon and fork from the forest as well as how to make fire in just a few minutes ... Then the trek is only about 20 mins and muddy if wet, but not difficult, and with more useful information on the way round.

Activities were fun but staff lacked the ability to assist with large groups, especially with no refunds if the count is off. We went with a party of 30, and the staff was very unhelpful with assisting on the activities. It was a great time but a low review is mainly because of the lack of training to the staff in managing large groups.

Adventure seekers can try a lot of activities here such as zip-lining. The place is not crowded, that you'll have time to try all the activities. But sadly going to the park is a bit hard since the road is rigid. No restaurants, or snack bars on sight. So bring your own meals, snacks and bottled water (not plastic) and throw your trash in the garbage not anywhere. They also need to create signs and directions to since they are limited number of staff to accommodate you. Also, bring your sunglasses, umbrella, face towels, portable fan, wear light clothes and shoes , expect to get sweaty.

I had a great time and enjoyed the nature specially with the kids Kian and Alak as my guide. They definitely know a lot and are very much willing to share everything they know. It was definitely fun! I hope they can further develop this treasure. I’ll definitely go back and hopefully bring my family as well.

Pretty easy 10-minute hike to see the falls, albeit muddy and rocky in places. We walked in during a pretty dry week without rain and the trail was very muddy in spots. Not a hard walk just a bit slippery and rocky at times. After 10 minutes, you hear the falls. There’s a staircase going down to the 2 sets of falls. The first falls to the left looks like the one they jump into but since we were the only ones there, I was not going to try and jump into the pool of water below. You can get down there by using some ropes the locals have Jerry-rigged but not sure how secure they are. The other falls to the right also have a pool of water. The water was cold and a bit rocky getting but very refreshing. The rushing water is strong enough to let you swim and not move in place.

This place is spectacular. The falls were stunning and so picturesque to swim in. The locals were very friendly and open to sharing their unique and lovely culture- make sure to say Hi to Nanay Erlinda, Nanay Marilyn, Tatay Carlito, or Kuya Matteo if you see them there!!! The food was also delicious and very fresh, most of it using produce from the forest itself. The forest is incredibly biodiverse and you can find all sorts of things there! The local guides are super friendly and will teach you lots of things. Everyone should come visit these falls once they've got the chance <3

I went on a trip to this area, and the locals were very helpful and guided us through the forest. They pointed out a variety of naturally occurring substances and herbs that they use sustainably, which is very fascinating to see. The forest itself doesn't look too special but its history is, as its one of the remaining relatively untouched forests because it was preserved for military training. Overall it was a nice charming little forest and village that has a beautiful new bridge and farming buildings around the area.

An Incredible experience which provided such an insight into the culture of the local community and how they make use of all aspects of the forest. It is amazing to see how things such as tree bark can be used as a treatment for a toothache!

The Tingtingin Falls are breathtaking, but the best part about it was interacting with the Aeta community! They were so hospitable, especially Naynay Irlinda. She made some delicious Filipino meals and the desserts were so good, I couldn't resist seconds. Taytay Carlito was so nice and it was cool to hear about his history as a ranger for American settlers/troops. All in all, great experience meeting them. They were the best guides to see the waterfalls.

a beautiful little enclave. perfect for small intimate gatherings. very short and easy hike, guided by the very friendly local Aetas. i’m not exactly sure why there are some miserable and ungrateful people giving this spot bad reviews. this waterfall and the surrounding area is literally a work of art by mother nature.

We had such a great time at the water park with our family! The place is very clean, well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly — especially towards the kids, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect spot for a fun family outing with lots to do and a safe, welcoming environment. The only thing we wish was different is the closing time. The park closes at 5pm, just when it starts to cool down and the beach becomes more enjoyable. It would’ve been nice to have a bit more time to enjoy the beautiful seaside without the heat. Still, overall a fantastic day out and definitely worth visiting for families!

It was my first time to this beach resort looks like they are in the same operators Ocean Adventure, Camayan Beach Resort. We choose night swimming because of hot weather to avoid sun burn. The stay was short but it was a good experience though. They have web page and FB page you can message them for your inquire. I highly recommend the beach resort... Thank you...

Nice water themed park. Sits beside two leisure parks, which they also own. This one is a combination of different pools and a beachside resort. So, for families who looks for both, look no further for this one is enough for the whole day. Just don't come here during March, because it's really, really hot. Hard to tolerate the beach. Entrance per head is 400. And you can rent cabanas, once you're inside. Prices depends on the size. They have enough facilities to support your needs like toilets and rinse showers. And even a small diner & cafe. You can also arrange for a group party, should you want to spend the whole day.

One of the cleanest beach in SBMA I like the water it's clean and not itchy although a bit rocky hope they develop the rocky sand area. They have few slides but some are closed when we went there. But still fun easier to see the kids since it is not too big. We love the lazy river. Cottages have fees.

Review is as of June 2025: The beach and the beach side are great, I can see that it is well maintained. I would however suggest using aqua shoes here as there are a few rocky portions. There are different types of pools for kids to enjoy, there are lifeguards but parental supervision is also better. There is a restaurant/grill and coffee shop, I have yet to try it on my return. The bathing area is on an unusual setup, the ladies and gentlemen are separated however the showers within each section are not partitioned, the dressing area is the only partitioned area; this ensures the items in the dressing area can keep dry at the cost of a not so private bathing experience.

A nice water park which also has beach access on SBMA. 20 km from olongapo, it is worth a visit if you are in the area. We had a party of 17 and had a great time. Most of the large cabanas were reserved for government agency team-building events, but we still got a couple of small ones by the pool. Wish they would not reserve for government agencies on a weekend. They did allow us to take home-prepared food in (no bottles). Kids had a blast. There is only one (with two departure slides) large slide and no wave pool, but in the Philippines it is definitely a start. Quite a few smaller slides, etc. for smaller kids. Also have a lazy river. They take credit cards. 688p adult, 528p children/senior. Large cabana is 1,500p.

It was a serene place. All employees are very accommodating and it felt really nice to have this 30mins away from SBMA. No traffic and very easy directions along the way. There is not much food options you can buy. A bit of refreshments but nothing fancy. So best bring your own. This is very good for families specially with kids. They would love the pool playground and slides. They have life guards in place and ensure safety over those big slides are followed. Overall, easy access, cleanliness, accessibility, and amenities are all great.
