Paradise Ranch, Clark Air Base

Being a local of Angeles City, Pampanga, it's natural that I visit attractions and other possible tourist destinations in my beloved city, simply because I love to travel, being close to nature, a proud Angeleno and, like everyone else, need regular stress-relievers: mine are travelling and my beading. 

Angeles City is two hours away from Manila, capital of the Philippines. This next visit is a lazy-day retreat with cousins and friends. Paradise Ranch is another 30 minutes drive from Clark main gate, bounded by Barangay Bamban, Tarlac with temperature comparable to Tagaytay. It serves a perfect place for camping, field trips, retreats, garden weddings, conference meetings etc., you decide :)

Flawlessly gracing a photo-up with me :)

Next, Tour and Accommodation Rates. Check the following rates according you your desired schedules. Get them at http://www.paradiseranchinclark.com/announcements/paradise-ranch-tour-accommodation-rates-schools-business-and-other-groups. For us, since we went there late in the afternoon (around 4:00pm) it just cost us Php.150 per head for a short visit at the Ranch.

Here is a sneak-peek of what's to see at the ranch:

It was just staring at us the whole time, strolling around..

You can also feed the bearcats in exchange for a few pesos

 The pond. You can feed the fish here for a small fee

Little Baguio, replicating the view and lodges of Baguio City

Toontown by the pool. You'll see a lot of familiar toons around the area, you'll have to see for yourself.

A real treat for the kiddos :)

Other attractions to see are the Safari Zipline, Butterfly Kingdom and farmville.
