As malls become more kid-friendly, here are some fun places for kids to try out this 2025

As parents, we’re always looking for fun places to bring kids. Whether it’s to use up just a bit of their inexhaustible battery or teach them a new skill that we can’t at home, these places become a core memory for the kids. But we’re not just talking about typical amusement parks; we’re talking about different activity places that can either spice up the weekend or become a place for kids to learn a new skill. Here are some fun places for kids in Metro Manila worth going to in 2025:

Fun Places for Kids in Metro Manila

Nitro Drift

Want the kids to get an early start on learning how to drive? Hidden on the third floor in V Mall, Nitro Drift is a small race-kart track where kids can practice driving using electric go-karts. They offer both simulated and real-live driving, with the karts having two modes: economic mode for slow and smooth driving and sports mode for the real speed demons. They also provide helmets and hair nets for those driving. They charge around PHP250 for every ten laps, regardless if the track is run in reverse or the usual way.

And in case the kids love it so much, they also do parties!

Kinetix Kids

Located in Podium, Kinetix Kids looks a little similar to Kidzoona or Gymboree but focuses more on creating an obstacle course. Parents who grew up with Nickelodeon’s Global Guts will probably have a nostalgia trip as they watch their kids go through the different obstacles in a space-themed setup. Kinetix Kids also offers summer classes such as Yoga, Taekwondo, and many others to keep kids away from the screen.

BHive (The Bouldering Hive)

For parents who are planning to bring their kids to the mountains for trekking and rock climbing or just want them to conquer their fear of heights, the Bouldering Hive (also known as BHive) offers walls styled in different angles and sizes to challenge kids and adults alike. However, BHive is also strict with the age restriction, only allowing kids 6 years old and above to climb and they need to have a parent with them at all times. But if the kids really enjoy it and want to learn how to rock climb, they also offer private coaching.

Currently, BHive has two branches: one in Greenhills Mall and the other one in Circuit Makati.

Puddy Rock

Known as a play studio, Puddy Rock opens its doors to all kids who want to learn about movement, music, and art. They have two sections: one for active play for those who wish to enhance their motor skills at the playground and a quiet section for those who want to work on their thinking skills. Puddy Rock also holds classes for arts and music and even hosts parties for the kids who dream of being little rock stars.

Puddy Rock is currently located at the L5 East Wing, Shangri-la Plaza, EDSA, corner Shaw Blvd, Mandaluyong, 1550 Metro Manila.

Philippine Biodome

If the kids are developing an interest in nature and Science then, the Philippine Biodome is one place to start. A branch off from Manila Ocean Park, the Philippine Biodome is the first and biggest biodome in the Philippines as it offers various activities such as rainwater harvesting, taking pictures with the animals, and the like. As a biodome, it focuses more on the land and sky-based animals and showcases how they all live in harmony. According to the website, they’re open on Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturday to Sunday and Public Holidays from 9 AM to 6 PM.

The Philippine Biodome is currently located at Ermita, Manila, right next to Manila Ocean Park.

TLC Park, Christmas By The Lake

While TLC Park, Christmas By The Lake may feel a little out of the way as it is hidden deep in the city of Taguig, many families have noted that it’s quite “easy to get to” because it lies on the main road, C6. It’s a relaxing place for the many families who live in the area and even couples have deemed it to be a worthy date-place. The best part is, it’s quite secure and has a lot of tour guides so we can make the most of all the sights there.

Enchanted Park

A new playground has opened at Opus Mall Bridgetowne Quezon City! Known as the Enchanted Park, it’s fun and industrial style transports kids into a new sci-fi world. It’s perfect for kids who love machines; gear-themed wall climbing, Cone slides, ball pits, vent running — there’s way too much for kids to do that they’ll be there for hours! And if we’re working around Eastwood or Bridgetowne (which is home to many BPOs) then, Enchanted Park is the perfect place to let them run.

And the list for fun places for kids will continue to grow!

With more families looking for more ways to abandon the screen, more fun places for kids are sprouting up. Bringing them to these places does wonders; not only does it make them more confident but, they get to explore and their immune system builds up too. They get to run around, play, build their strength and smarts, and they’ll probably make a few new friends on the way. Besides, teachers are always asking what they did on the weekends. These places may not be out of the country but they’re still where memories are made.
