Before I had my first Disneyland or Universal Studios experience, I first fell in love with Enchanted Kingdom. As a kid, I looked at it as the most magical place in the world. As a grownup, I made indelible memories enjoying its many rides with friends. Hence, even when I had been to bigger or more thrilling theme parks outside the country, I still feel a connection to EK.

Enchanted Kingdom is the first “world-class” theme park in the Philippines, and it continues to grow. From having seven themed zones, it is poised to expand with the addition of Cultural Zone, which showcases Philippine culture.. One of the newest attractions is “Agila: The Eksperience,” the first ever flying theater in the Philippines.

That’s why to this day, it remains a favorite destination during holidays, especially Christmas and New Year, drawing huge crowds to Santa Rosa, Laguna. From Manila, there are many transportation options to get to Enchanted Kingdom, either by public transportation or by private car. Here are some of them.

Where to buy Enchanted Kingdom tickets?

You can purchase your tickets at the ticket booths situated at the front gate of the park. The booths will open an hour before the park’s opening.
