How do you accept reservation? Just depending on your staff's mood?
Here is my experience:
July 14 - I checked Fun Farm's website to check how to reserve. There are several ways: email, text or call. I opted the email so its much more "formal".
July 18 - only after two working days (4 calendar days) I got a response saying that I should instead text or call for reservation--just so funny because I already provided my full reservation details and yet they want me to text them. So at first, I was so understandable because I will just paste my message in text.
July 19- 24 hours has passed and no one is answeing my texts and even calls. I tried calling them 3 times. No one is answering. So I replied again to their email saying that I texted to their number and called them 3 times but no one is answering. I got no email reply but immediately I received a texts saying that "July 23 is fully booked". So, I guess they are really fully booked and so busy.
July 20 - my friend called me that they just got Fun Farm reservation for July 23. I was surprised. So I called, Fun Farm and after 3 calls someone answered. Its Wilma. She immediately confirmed that she can take my reservation and when I gave my name I noticed that she got surprised too. i confronted her why she said yesterdays its fully book and now its open. Moving forward, we would appreciate if there would be a "waitlist" if there are reservations that still for confirmation and dont give outright message that its fully booked. But the way i see it, the customer service here needs a big...

"The Fun Farm offers party and picnic areas, pockets of natural playgrounds, zip lines, a gigantic sand box, animal feeding stations, a lagoon where you can fish, horse stables, and an amphitheater. Activities include horseback riding, carabao pulled-cart riding, fishing, row boating, and zip-line."
The place is clean, spacious and for the most part odor free. Which is impressive considering the amount and type of animals that are present there. I also read somewhere that they limit the number of visitors per day. Which (if true) is a great idea since other places tend to jam as much people as they can that in turn ruins the experience.
At 400php, the entrance fee is quite expensive if you have a large family. But the amount of things on offer (that you can use unlimited times at no extra charge) kinda balances it out.
It's also not accessible to public transpo. To be honest, I think it's actually closed to public transportation (unless you hired a taxi or service) because I haven't seen one during our visit.
If you however have the means to give them a visit, then we highly recommend that you give them a go...you're not going to regret it.
The Fun Farm is open Tuesday -...
   Read moreThis is a good place for a family outing -- for those who have young children. There the children can feed guinea pigs, rabits, and other fowl animals. Horseback riding is available. Water Buffalo (Carabao) sled rides are also available. There is a little pond where children can ride a paddle boat (supervised by parents). There is also a playground for children. There is a short fun zipline too. The area is full of trees, so families can have a picnic under the shade. There are also picnic tables available under a huge cottage like structure. Drinks can be bought from the reception. Toilets are clean and well maintained. You need to CALL FIRST THOUGH, and book before going there. Once you book, the security guards will have the list of your name as you enter Sta. Elena, and thus, you will be granted entry. For those coming from Manila, just take the Cabuyao exit and follow the signs...
