I blogged before that I love getting
discounts offered by group buying sites.
Last year, I grabbed a promotion for 2 day pass at Island Cove’s Animal
Island and Oceania Water Park. It was nearing
its expiry already, so we decided to use it two Saturdays ago.
Leo had something to attend to so it
was Ate Espie, Neo, and me who went to Island Cove.
A shuttle brought us to the main
island.
We decided to visit Animal Island
first so we can lounge all we want in the pool after.
This is the safest distance that Neo
will allow us to have his picture taken with the goat.
Island Cove’s Animal Island is a
vast place that houses only few animals.
But the experience we had there was so fascinating. Why?
When we entered they had 1-year old Jasmine out of her cage for photo
ops. Both Neo and I begged off that
opportunity.
Playful Jasmine with her caretaker.
After 30 mins of walking through Animal
Island and getting to know some ostriches, peacock and peahens, ducks, monkeys,
and cassowaries, we arrived at the Crocodile Farm. They have 19 crocodiles residing in that
area. Crocodiles at Island Cove feed on
dead chickens. As per the caretaker,
they can’t feed live chickens to crocodiles as it will be considered animal
cruelty.
A shot of Mama and Neo with the Baby
Croc. Neo was crying before this
picture. We just told him, the baby croc
is a stuff toy.
Another shuttle brought us to
Oceania Waterpark.
We paid Php100 for tables and
chairs. Oceania has a lot of slides and
some boating activities for kids but the entire time we stayed at the kiddie
pool (2 to 3 feet deep) because Neo loves that area.
The kiddie pool has a small slide in
it where we indulge Neo to try as much as he want until he accidentally
outbalanced me (I was carrying and helping him at the slide). Instead of me sliding to the pool, I slide
back to the grounds which left me a knee scrape as souvenir.
Other than the knee injury I got, we
had so much fun at Island Cove and we will be visiting this place again very
soon. J
That looks fun nga!! Mabuti na lang naniwala si baby neo when you said na it was a stuff toy crocodile. Hihih! =)
