Dahilayan Forest Park

Adjacent to Dahilayan Adventure Park is a more-fun-to-be-there-not-traumatic-to-the-guts "playground" - the Dahilayan Forest Park.  After our crazy death-defying zipline experience at the former park, we checked-in to the latter for a light happy-goody atmosphere.  In this vast piece of land, we find an array of life-size and surreal American Indians and animals that the place somehow becomes a mini zoo for the kids to see the actual animals they only see on TV or in books.

As a kid-friendly rendezvous, the Dahilayan Forest Park has a well-facilitated and safe playground that kids would surely don't wanna go home 'coz they'll never get enough of it.  They have plenty of recreational equipment to choose from like the slide, seesaw, swing, overhead ladder, monkey bars, etc.  So let your children enjoy the wide outdoor in this kids' awesome haven!

Adults can also enjoy the forest park's light activities compared with serious ones in the adventure park as ATV, luge, bungee net, treetop adventure, and zorbit.  But still, precaution must  be observed before doing the said outdoor activities for everybody's safety.

  

Since the whole park is dedicated to the whole family, they also have a bigger picnic area surrounded by pine trees.  Cooling shade, calming scent, picturesque scenario all rolled into one great place, what more can you ask for?  That is just so fantastic!  I felt that I was in the movie Twilight when we were there picture-taking.

And aside from bringing your own food, you can also have a taste of their own home-cooked meals at their cafe.  We didn't have the chance to eat there for we were still full with the lunch we had at Pine Grove.  But when I checked the menu, their prices are quiet affordable.

As an overall experience, we never had any dull moment at Dahilayan Forest Park!  So tag along your whole barkada or family to enjoy a day in Bukidnon this summer.  You may also have an overnight stay at this ultimate playground so better click here for more information and reservation.

Watch out for my post tomorrow for another summer adventure only here on The Other Side of Mae!  #tosomtravels

Dahilayan Adventure Park

March is here which signals the start of a very long hot summer season!  I can already feel it in the atmosphere.  I admit, summer is not really my fave season of the year 'coz I don't like that kind of warm weather.  Who wants too much hotness, right?  So to beat the heat, we find places wherein we can quench and drench our body with coldness.  And up to the highlands we go!  Here in Mindanao, we have our version of Baguio and it is Bukidnon, home of Dahilayan Adventure Park. 

This post is almost a year outdated for I didn't have the time to get through this last summer.  I prioritized writing about my other trips then.  But it's always better late than never, right?  I'm just reminded of this now because my colleagues are again planning for another trip this coming last week of March.  Yipey!  Our whole department is getting giddy for it.  So before that, here's our day tour escapade at Dahilayan Adventure Park!

It was lunchtime when we arrived so we had lunch directly at Pine Grove Mountain Lodge.   Their menu is just like any other menu in Mindanao hotel/resort setting.  You know, they have the basics like sinigang, fried chicken, crispy pata and the like.  I didn't even noticed if they have any specialty of the house.  To rate their food, I just give it a 6 out of 10 if we compare it internationally with respect to presentation and that distinct taste that can be remembered though they serve the same dishes with the others.
  

   

However, the interior of the place is love!  As a lover of all things rare and old, I instantly fell!  They got a collection of authentic antiques - phonograph record, telephone, barometer, guns, etc.  These are only a few of the collector's items that are on display all over the place.  You can get to touch these precious ones except the guns (of course) for these are not encased.  I guess the owner of the place is just so generous for having a little museum without restrictions to public access.

After having lunch, off we went to our adventure which is Asia's longest dual zipline!  Oh my gosh, my knees were literally quivering.  But as an acrophobic, it's my greatest pleasure to brag to you that I survived it.  Better click here for my once-in-a-lifetime zipline experience!  Thanks to Ma'am Sherile for the encouragement.

Then we roam around to see more of the place.  Though the sun is up, we feel the cold air whipping our hair with the refreshing aroma of pine trees wafting in the air.  It was just so relaxing!

So this summer, don't fail to include Dahilayan Adventure Park in your itinerary!  Visit their official website here for more information and reservations.  Tune in to The Other Side of Mae for more of our Dahilayan adventure! #tosomtravels
