Photo opp like at the Snow World costs P100. You get an ink jet printed photo.

When we planned for our Manila trip, we had already put our intentions on going to the Snow World at Star City in Pasay City. We originally planned to go on a Thursday because we were already at the MOA but we learned that at this time of year, they are only open from Friday to Sunday.

So Friday it was.

Star City rates
Entrance fee – P60 per person including children
Snow World – P120 per person including children
Three rides – P220
Ride all you can – P350

We knew that Dindin was still scared to try the rides, which is the reason why we thought of foregoing them. We only paid for the Snow World entrance fee. And true enough, most of the rides required that the kid be at least four feet tall. Dindin is only about 38 inches tall. So that is still a long way for her.

Dress up your child warmly when going to the Snow World because it is very cold!

I dressed Dindin warmly in a T-shirt, thick leggings, and shoes with socks. She also had on a denim jacket. But I knew that it was going to be so cold in there so we bought that fleece-lined animal hat for P100. It was available at the stores at Star City. And it was just as well because even with the jacket that they provide, it was still very cold. We also bought her a pair of gloves that was sold at the entrance of Snow World for P50. She was snug and warm so she enjoyed her time there.

Snow World is not big. You can go around in about five minutes. When you go in, they will provide you with jackets that are already so worn that the buttons do not work. And they look greasy, I wonder when was the last time they were washed.

But in order to have more fun, you can go down an inclined plane on rubber boats. Dindin sat on her Papa’s lap and they went down a couple of times. She called it “sledding” because it does simulate sledding. Too bad though that they did not take pictures on this activity and we were not allowed to take pictures inside either. It would be another source of income for them.

Dindin, however, had fun blowing into the air because she was creating steam. I think that was the most fun for her.

I cannot really say that this is a great attraction but for what it is worth, go for it, for you cannot find something like that anywhere in the Philippines. That is why we made our stay worthwhile. We actually went inside twice because the entrance fee is for an unlimited time within the day. We just went around Star City after the first time and then came back again so that Dindin’s fun time in the ice cold room will be maximized. She had fun and that is what matters.

If you intend to try out Snow World, wear rubber shoes with socks. Though I was wearing jelly shoes, the fact that it had holes made it very cold for my feet. And if you are queasy about using their jackets, then you can bring your own. And bring bonnets, too, if you have.

Well, at least, we had a wee bit of winter here in the Philippines.

After our second round at the Snow World.
