This 81st Araw ng Dabaw, knowing a lot would visit the city for the first time to join in the fun, here are a few suggestions to visit when you’re in Davao:
With your family
Especially when you have kids with you, the Altitude Indoor Trampoline Park in Lanang is a perfect place to spend a few hours. It was opened in May 2017 and it is the first trampoline park in the Mindanao. It has a wide array of trampolines and tumble tracks that will surely make the kids in you come alive again. Some of the other activities offered include basketball, dodge ball, and zumba among others. Not only that, when tired after all the jumping and the rolling, the family can eat at their restaurant or play less-tiring games at the arcade – everything in one building.
Every first Saturday of the month, the Philippine Eagle Center in Malagos offers free birdwatching session starting 5 a.m. With the Philippines home to about 600 bird species, it is of great experience to spot birds like kingfishers, swallows, bulbuls, and sunbirds during birdwatching. It is a very good bonding experience for the entire family and at the same time being one with nature. It is both relaxing and educational as staff of the Eagle Center would be very much glad to assist and answer queries.
With your barkada
