Art in Island

Admit it, asking kids to pose and smile for photos can be quite a tricky job. If you really want to immortalize their childhood years, bring them to Art in Island. Compared to traditional museums and art galleries, Art in Island is home to interactive 3D artworks that let kids have fun while engaging their imagination. Make sure they have socks on before coming here because the whole place is a shoe-free zone.

Inflatable Island

The summer heat is almost unbearable, so visiting Inflatable Island is a sure way to cool down. Floating on the waters of Olongapo, kids will have a blast going through colorful inflatable slides, towers, bridges, swings, and more! Kids can swing by the cottages to recharge after a fun-filled day. There’s a height requirement of 3.5 feet, and adult supervision is needed for children ages 3 to 6 years old.
