ClaudMaru Rainforest — Attraction in Davao City

Claudmaru Rainforest is a fun and jampacked place, especially for families with kids. I liked that it was very nature-y — surrounded by trees and open spaces that give you a break from the city.

The overall design, though, feels a bit dated. It has a nostalgic 1990s perya vibe — think Boom na Boom meets early theme park attempts. The dinosaur displays are clearly inspired by Jurassic Park, which makes them familiar and fun, but also a little on the copycat side. Still, they do add to the charm in their own way.

What I appreciated most was the wide range of activities inside. We got to feed rabbits and explore different zones — there’s a lot to do! Just a heads-up: many of the activities have extra charges on top of the entrance fee, so be ready for that.

All in all, it’s an enjoyable visit with a lot of heart. Great for a day out, especially if you’re after a nature-themed, throwback kind...

We are 5 adults in a sedan and we made it safe with extra care. Bridge wood planks (google map image is outdated) was replaced with still. Newbie driver, inspect the road and plan your approach first before crossing the small...

This is a place good for young kids only. Saying that parent must watch out as there are many places the kids could hurt themselves.. that all be said.. it is a fun place for young kids 3 or 4.. 5 years old. The ride on dinosaurs are nice.. but again care must be taken when riding. When we were there nothing much was open.. if it ever was.. for drinks and food.. in fact there was no drinks or food available!!.. souvenirs were strange and there was nothing dinosaur related !! Overall it was ok for a short time maybe an hour.. a lot of work is needed to bring the place up to scratch though.

On a last note the place really is overpriced currently for what's there and...
