Boring. Food does not even look appetizing and pricey. Only the house is pretty.
Would be better if this place has cafes and resto like cakes/pastries/milktea(not the expensive ones we encountered inside)/baking workshop where kids can design their own cupcakes/gingerbread cookie or something like that, and no entrance fee.
That's my idea to make this place worth the visit. But no. It's like a park with carinderia inside, they just put gingerbread house design. That is all.

Not worth the visit. The house is stunning but the rest are things you see on a park without entrance fee. There are spots that are closed too. The only thing my kid enjoyed is the swing and the slide. That's all.
The desserts don't look appetizing. Some food stalls are too expensive. Like the milktea. You can buy milktea outside from 70php but their milktea is double the price.
It only took us 1 hr, we already want to go home. Only my kid enjoyed it because its her first pasyal since the pandemic. And this is the nearest park we can go using motorcycle.
Regarding the designs, you should get inspiration from candyworld or the dessert museum. Some of the designs are unnecessary or useless. Like the background, floor, lights. Example, the one with hot air ballon style. The style is so-so but the background where you see nothing is what makes it not worth the ig post.
You guys seriously need more improvements. Take my advice and get inspiration from dessert museum to make it "at least" worth the visit.

We were there last May 30, 2021. And was surprised with the changes, good and bad. Firstly, I didn't like your idea that your entrance fee is packaged to a certain food menu. I understand that you are doing this for added income but to be honest it's a bit pricey and at the same time it doesn't give your visitors the option what they want to order. Also its ok to pay extra if the food is good but honestly its below average. With that price dapat nag Bag of Beans na lang kame.
The place is still nice with lots of improvement from the last time we visited. But please improve the quality of your food and your service. Your servers should be wearing uniform and not sando and tsinelas. Looked really untidy. Hindi bagay sa lugar. Also better to remove that packaged entrance fee.

They only accept cash for walk in -no receipts.
Entrance fee is not free as what they said in their FB page. We availed of the bfast meal for 399 but when we get in, (see photo) the value of the bfast meal is 230-250 so as if you pay the entrance fee of 150. We should have asked first and had bfast somewhere else given that it doesn't taste good.
The place is great if you love to take pictures.
Not recommended during rainy season.

We were originally planning on walking to the destination since it's just about 3 miles from where we are staying but the weather did not permit us to do so. Tip #1, The Gingerbread House (TGH) is much better when the sun is out and about. It's not so bad overall even with the rain, but leisure walking is better done when the land is dry and the air is not so cold.
Tip #2, bring kids when the quarantine is lifted (please follow simple and basic rules fellow Pinoys; It's honestly frustrating. Subtracting half a star as well since TGH didn't seem to be bothered by these breaches in the government's protocol). The place is definitely for kids with all its colors, sugary snacks, and ambiance. We drank hot choco (Php100.00) in the restaurant but it was nothing special. I looked at the menu and it's a little bit pricey for my taste given that most of the menu items can be easily cooked by moms at home. The Gingerbread Man (Php10.00) was surprisingly tasty. The same cannot be really said about their gingerbread and ube cheese pandesal (both at Php100.00).
Tip #3, be kind to the staff. They look like they're undermanned. The Ate who manned the museum was also the one who manned the souvenir area and the DJ booth. They had a tough 2020 with Taal erupting and the pandemic happening. Don't come in thinking you're entitled to a 5-star service when you just paid Php100.00 for the entrance.
It's enjoyable overall. It really depends on you as a person.
P.S. Buy something from the souvenir shop. It's cheap.

Ordered from their restaurant, and food took a long time to be served. I can tolerate slow service, but the 180-peso crepe that took 40minutes to serve was....well, you be the judge (photo attached). It was served in a microwaveable container and looked totally undelectable.
Considering that it's a place catering to kids, the comfort rooms were smelly and in need of deep cleaning.

Too overrated. A lot of people visiting on the weekends. I highly recommend visiting on the weekends. The food price is too expensive. In terms of the ambiance, it is good and a perfect place for kids. The gingerbread house's exterior looks attractive!

I went there with a group of friends.The entrance was 50php and it was worth it. The place is huge and the main house will make you smile. Christmas theme is evident in this house so that makes me feel warm. I love it and I am sure kids will love it too. There are sooo many nooks and crannies for photos.
Worth a visit.
