Tagaytay City is a favorite weekend getaway destination for many residents of Metro Manila and nearby provinces like Laguna and Batangas. Aside from the cooler temperature, people get to enjoy a wide array of restaurants and places that offer different views of the beautiful Taal Lake. One of these establishments is Sky Ranch Tagaytay.

A leisure and entertainment park, this 5-hectare property offers exhilarating rides, dining places, horseback riding, and a fantastic view of Taal Lake. This is a place where kids and adults alike will enjoy. Aside from being family-friendly, this amusement park is also open to events and gatherings. It has a 2000sqm events area called The Venue that caters to corporate events, receptions, and other social gatherings.

The most notable structure is the Sky Eye, a 63-meter tall Ferris wheel that towers over the site.

For first-time visitors, here are some of the things you might want to know before you go.

What are the operating hours?

As of writing, the current opening hours are the following:

• Weekdays (Monday to Friday)
  10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Weekends (Saturday to Sunday) & Holidays
  8:00 AM – 10:00 PM

Note: The schedule may differ during holidays. Please check the official Facebook Page for updates and announcements.

What is the new admission process?

The admission process is quite simple. You just need to head to the main entrance where the ticket counters are also located. Next to the main entrance, you’ll find a dedicated entrance gate for senior citizens, pregnant women, and PWDs.

• Step 1: Admission Ticket. Proceed to purchase your ticket at the designated booth. For groups, just assign a representative to fall in line and buy the ticket.
• Step 2: Admission Entrance. Present your admission ticket for scanning and verification. For groups, all members must fall in line because each visitor must get stamped.

How much is the admission ticket?

• Regular Admission: P100/person
• Senior/PWD (w/ ID): P80/person

Notes:

1. You can purchase your admission ticket at the ticket booths located at the park’s front gate only.
2. Entrance fee for children 11 months and below is FREE.
3. Tickets cannot be refunded, exchanged, or replaced if lost, stolen, or destroyed.
4. Tickets are only valid on the day (or date) of purchase.
5. Re-entry is allowed but you need to present your admission ticket official receipt and stamp. No ticket O.R. and stamp, no re-entry.
6. This only covers the admission ticket. Rides and attractions have separate tickets which you can purchase at the designated ticketing booths inside the park. But if you want to save some bucks and time, you can get a Ride-All-You-Can ticket online here: ✅ BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE!

When is the best time to go?

The best time to go is during weekdays, particularly Wednesday to Friday when there are fewer people. We visited on a Thursday and I got to try all the rides that I wanted to try without burning too much time waiting in line.

The park is crowded during holidays and weekends.

How to get to Sky Ranch Tagaytay from Manila

By Public Transportation

To get to Nasugbu by bus, you need to make your way to the following terminals:

• PITX. Make your way to the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), also called South West Integrated Provincial Terminal. Board a bus bound for Tagaytay, Mendez (a neighboring town), or Nasugbu. This bus will be taking Emilio Aguinaldo Highway.
• DLTB Terminal at LRT Buendia area (near LRT Gil Puyat Station), Pasay City. Board the bus bound for either Nasugbu or Calatagan. This will be taking South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and Carmona Exit and will pass through Tagaytay.

We were told that one can also catch a bus at Araneta Bus Terminal in Cubao. But we haven’t really tried it yet.

• Travel time: 2-3 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Might be much longer during rush hour.
• Fare: P110-115.

From here, you have two options.

OPTION 1

1. Tell the conductor you’re going to Sky Ranch. There’s a big chance the bus will not really pass by Sky Ranch because most buses take Mahogany Avenue, which bypasses a section of Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway approaching Mendez. Instead, they will drop you off at the Petron Gas Station. SEE MAP ABOVE.
2. Alight at Petron Gas Station adjacent Mahogany Avenue, opposite The Lake Hotel.
3. Walk to Sky Ranch. It’s a 20-minute walk.

OPTION 2

1. Alight at Olivarez/Rotonda.
2. Ride a jeepney bound for Mendez/Alfonso. Tell the driver to drop you off at Skyranch. The jeepney fare is P10.
3. Get off right in front of Sky Ranch.

By Private Vehicle

1. From Manila, drive through the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), then take Santa Rosa Exit or Eton City. Alternatively, you can also take Mamplasan Exit, then enter CALAX.
2. Continue driving along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road until you reach Tagaytay Rotunda.
3. From Tagaytay Rotunda, continue driving through Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway until you reach Sky Ranch Tagaytay.

If you use Waze or Google Maps, it will make it much easier for you to get there.
