Skyranch in Tagaytay: Experience Fun, Thrill and Excitement in the Chilly City
Since its opening in 2013, Skyranch has been one of Tagaytay’s go-to spots for fun and adventure! With over 30 attractions and rides, there’s something for everyone, from family-friendly and kiddie rides to thrill rides that will get your adrenaline pumping and leave you wanting more.
Sky Ranch’s highlight would have to be the Sky Eye, the park’s Ferris wheel that takes thrill-seekers 63 meters above the ground. Riding the ferris wheel allows guests to catch a picturesque view of the park and the majestic Taal volcano.

While Sky Eye boasts an amazing view of Taal Volcano during the day, the ride becomes an attraction of its own during nighttime as it becomes illuminated in multi-colored lights that provide a stunning background for your photos in the park at night!

Apart from the Sky Eye, Sky Ranch also has its Carousel, a magical attraction that everyone can enjoy. The ride is especially beautiful during the evening when the lights are turned on and the carousel looks as if it is ready to take its guests on a whimsical journey.

There are also rides and attractions for little kids that can be found near the park’s entrance. These kiddie attractions include inflatables and animal carts among others. There are also game consoles and a 4D simulator that park visitors can try out.

It is important to note that the admission fee to the park is separate from the ticket fees to the rides and attractions in the park.
There are also a few souvenir stalls inside the park where you can get your Tagaytay souvenirs from. A stop to these shops will make shopping easier as you don’t have to look for souvenir shops outside when you’re already inside the park. Food outlets are also available throughout the park where you can grab a bite to eat after a long day of fun and excitement.
Some of its culinary destinations include Mama Lou’s Italian Kitchen, Suteki Japanese Restaurant, Clawdaddy’s Steak, Ribs, Seafood, Amare La Cucina, Macao Imperial Tea, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Nabe Japanese Izakaya Hotpot, and more.
