Christmas is definitely right around the corner, and if you haven’t taken your nearest-and-dearest to what could be your new “happy place,” you and the fam are missing quite a lot!
Dubbed as the country’s “biggest immersive theme park,” J Castles is a 30-acre area in Tanauan, Batangas, that is absolutely jam-packed with all sorts of family fun: from thrilling adventures, nostalgic journeys and awe-inspiring attractions.
A year after my very first visit where I explored the park’s Castle Pop and Castle Studios, and enjoyed the gastronomic offerings of Castle Foodie, I joined my fellow content creators again in touring the park’s newest features which give families compelling reasons to visit again and again, during the holidays and beyond.
1. Castle Adventure
Got hyperactive kiddos? Castle Adventure’s got all the fun stuff: here, the little ones can have an outlet for their boundless energy with exciting slides, hopscotch and obstacle courses, swings, interactive zones and lightscapes where they can run, climb, jump, explore, go on quests and let themselves and their imagination run wild.
2. Castle Carnival
In the mood for diversion and amusement? Castle Carnival should be right up your alley. Here, the fam can enjoy fun rides such as twirling teacups, drop-and-bounce, and even a double-decker carousel!
3. Castle Inflatables
What better way to take advantage of J Castles’ proximity to Taal Lake than to admire the scenic view from the country’s longest inflatable Infinity Pool? Enjoy some fun in the sun with the fam while lounging on the poolside or cooling down in the water.
You can also challenge your shooting and tossing skills through various classic carnival games reimagined in larger-than-life inflatable form.
If your kids feel like expending some more energy, they can explore more of Castle Inflatables’ attractions where they can run, climb, slide, spin and tumble to their heart’s delight!
4. Dreamers
J Castles recently unveiled its new nighttime light and fireworks show, featuring entrancing music, lights, and storytelling. While the castle’s facade is awash with captivating colors and shapes, the skies beyond it light up with a spectacular fireworks display.
