SM Seaside City’s Sky Garden

What’s unique about SM Seaside’s Sky Garden is that it has a beautiful playground designed by none other than Kenneth Cobonpue. It’s vibrant and well-maintained—and free! It also has a mini-water park that is perfect for kids, especially in the summer.

Davao Crocodile Park

Kids will love the happy and well-maintained animals at the Davao Crocodile Park. There’s many things to enjoy like interacting with the animals, and enjoying their unique crocodile ice cream. While the park does have an impressive population of crocs for conservation, they also have lots of animals like Bengal tigers, ostrich and birds of prey. The highlight of the trip is a show featuring clever tricks and a call for conservation.
