We had a volunteer tour guide that gave us so much information about all the animals in the center. Get to hangout and pat the zoo ambassadors (eagles, lizards, snakes etc.). Kids (and adults) were fully engaged the whole time. Highly recommended!Written 13 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarolineAlejoNew York City, NY70 contributionsWe went there after a detailed tour with one of my mentors and formators in Lasalle, as I am one of the alumni of the University. We were invited to take a look around the museum and I was quite proud to show my Italian husband how my university has evolved and the collections are quite impressive. Please do visit the museum with your family and loved ones!Written 1 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hal LDumaguete City, Philippines8 contributionsA nice, relaxing outing for the family. My daughter enjoyed the horse ride and the fishing. The grounds are fairly well maintained. We waited for the horse ride during lunch hour. One horse was tied up in the shade, one left in the sun. Better care for the horses would be a good idea.
The food was good as was the service. A nice place to spend some time out of the city.Written 18 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was a kiosk selling iced coffee, etc. which you can enjoy seating in one of those chairs nearby while enjoying the views of the lagoon/park.Written 14 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dollya669Bacolod, Philippines96 contributionsFrom the outside, this small church looks plain and simple - wooden frames with capiz shells making the doors.
This plain looking church holds a number of shell mosaics the shells of which are all their natural colors... the biggest mosaic is the backdrop-the Birhen Sang Barangay or Our Lady of the Barangay where the church probably got its name. (9 × 21 feet composed of more than 90,000 shell pcs)
The usual way of the cross you see hanging in almost all Catholic churches is also showcased here--in shell mosaic. If you appreciate art, you would see how intricate the workmanship of all the mosaics are...
In the center of the church hangs a chandelier made up of 14,000 shells.
The cozyness and art of the church (as it is located at Sta. Clara subd -- the oldest and most prestegious subdivision in Bacolod) as well as its serenity makes it one of the most wanted wedding venues in the area.
The church holds regular Sunday Mass at 10 am. Sat anticipated Mass at 5:30 pm And daily masses at 7am.Written 14 March 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you happen to be in Bacolod City try to drop by the Dizon-Ramos Museum. They have special installations especially during December. You get to see a collection of Angels and Elmo toys! Kids would definitely love it! :)Written 3 September 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC5,804 contributionsThis building appears to be the “center of the universe” in the area due to its elevated location.
It faces a lagoon and a park where there are several stairs, a memorial, and a signage.
Two other attractions are located near it.Written 25 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
