Tagaytay Picnic Grove

Picnic Grove Tagaytay is the most visited park in the province of Cavite that overlooks the Taal Volcano and Taal Lake. It is an affordable weekend getaway for tourists who wants to go for a picnic and have a breathtaking view of the Taal Volcano. The cool air in Picnic Grove Tagaytay also helps in relaxation for a truly wonderful time. Tagaytay Picnic Grove offers various amenities, activities and services. They have kite flying and play pens for children, horse back-riding, swimming pool, picnic area, site seeing, fish spa, boating, zip line, cable car and souvenir stores.  We find the place perfect for family bonding, nature tripping, sports and relaxation. However, the experience does not come in full package because you have to pay for each and they are quite expensive. Nevertheless, the enjoyment and fun is priceless. You just have to get a good timing because if you go there at holidays, you should really expect heavy traffic, crowded place and messy area. It's Christmas time and the Garcias wanted a reunion so they decided that we go to Picnic Grove in Tagaytay. We thought we were still early to get a nice cottage but when we arrived, the place was already crowded and parking was limited. It took us 2 rounds in the place before we found a perfect spot. And since cottages were already occupied, we just laid a mat on the grass and stayed there. The view was perfect, we could see Taal lake from where we were situated however, the place where we chose to stay is unfortunately a slope so the food and the people were always accidentally sliding down. Anyway, we were not going to stay there for long because we went there for the activities available. The place is good but during peak seasons, management could hardly control the people, the parking and the place to stay. I guess they should expand their parking area and add more cottages to accommodate everyone. They should also strictly prohibit littering because seeing trash everywhere really ruins the relaxing atmosphere of the area. One thing I noticed is also the malfunctioning restrooms. We had to go around the area to find a good restroom because the one near us is crowded because only two cubicles are functioning. The order, billing and payment is also a hassle. The line is too long and the process is unorganized. I just don't know if it's because we went there on a peak season or their system is just terrible.
