1. Campuestuhan Shuttle Service
Since the location of
Campuestuhan is not really within Bacolod City and is actually in Talisay City, it is not easily accessible th
rough public transport. While we rented a private car and drove ourselves to the park, we noticed that a lot of locals availed of the affordable Campuestuhan Shuttle Service. Best to be mindful of the schedule since it observes a first-come-first-serve policy.
The details are as follows:

2. Themed Accommodations
The easiest way to make the most out of your Campuestohan visit is to stay there overnight. The price for lodging is a expensive but its a unique experience as the lodgings are actually incorporated within the amusement park. You could even mistake the themed accommodations as part of the amusement attractions.
The room rates which is inclusive of breakfast vary depending on the room. The most luxurious room is Presidential Suite in the Raphaella Mill priced at 15,000 per night.
But there are more affordable lodging options like the
Bonita Huts.
For only 3,500 php, a group of four (4) can stay in this air-conditioned hut which comes with its own bath room.
But of course, price isn't the only consideration, like who wouldn't want to live in such a colorful atmosphere right?
3. Multiple Swimming Pools
One of the most highlighted activities in Campuestohan is swimming. Perhaps, its because the Philippines is a tropical country that we Filipinos really love to swim.
Because Campuestohan is located in the highlands of Mt. Makawili, at around 800 meters above the ground, it is actually quite cool and misty at any time of the day. You don't need to worry about getting burnt while swimming.
There are many kinds of adult and kiddie swimming pools to choose from.
Some are fancy with slices and waves.
The capacity of the pools can cater hundreds of people so you need not worry about it being crowded.
4. Foamy Fun
We were walking around the park just to choose a swimming pool when we heard horns blaring followed by giggles and laughter.
Around the foamy fun, the air isn't just filled with puffy foam, it was filled with the air of happiness.
5. Asia's Tallest Dinosaur
It was really surprising for us to find Asia's tallest dinosaur attraction in
Campuestohan.
We truly admire the owners for being so ambitious. The locals and foreign visitors are so lucky to admire and have photographs around these gigantic dinosaurs.
By the way, did you know there's actually a lodge inside this huge mammoth?
Aside from the Dinosaur's around the park, most of them although not as huge are displayed in Ram's Dino Park. Some of the dinosaurs here can walk and roar though. You can also ride the Walking Dinosaur for only 30 php.
6. Fun Rides
Perhaps the noticeably least appreciated feature of the park is the fun rides. The pricing is really affordable but some would rather first the park fee inclusion than the add-ons. Also, while passing by the Viking Ride (30 php/person), we can't help but be ward away by the smell of oil. Other rides seemed fun and interesting enough for toddlers.
The
Grand Carousel is only 30 php/person.
7. Outdoor Activities
The grassy terrain seems fun for a horseback ride but there are hardly any interest for it.
Activities that involves heights were pricier but they had long lines. You can choose between Sky Bicycle (100 php/person for one-way), Cable Paraglide (250 php/person for two-way) and Hamster Wheel (100 php/person for one-way).
The more strenuous and longer physical challenge is the
Rope Course (200 php/person).
The place is really well-rounded, there's even a
Basketball Shootout (35 php/min).
As if the playground within the pool area is not enough, there's another full-featured playground that kids will surely enjoy.
8. Relaxing Dining
The most convenient way to enjoy a meal is to dine in the Restaurant Pavillion or Coffee Shop. Just make sure that all your companions will order with you as there is a corkage fee only applies if you bring food or drinks in.
On the other hand, you can also enjoy a fun and more affordable meal if you opt to go for a picnic or grill and barbecue your own food. You can make use of its facilities for this for free. Just remember to clean you own mess too as there are many others who avail of them too.
For dessert, you can hang out at the
Ice Cream Parlor which offers a colorful and fun atmosphere.
9. Superb Photo Attractions
Surely you also cannot resist taking some photographs with their creative photo attractions. The gigantic King Kong blends well with the foggy air.
The designers were very meticulous in every detail.
As you can see, the themes vary as this one is from a Disney movie...
there are others from movies and this
water wheel one makes me feel like its from a fairy tale book.
10. Chair Massage Spa
After or in between spending time and energy on so much of the Campuestohan's activities, you can avail of its Chair Massage Service.
Overall, we Travel Tripsters hope we were able to give you at least ten (10) features which you can avail of during your visit to Campuerstohan Highland Resort. If we missed any detail, please do let us know!
