Fantasy World

amazing adventure ride with my rder buddy☺️😉

Some call it abandoned castle, some say it's the unfinished Philippine Disneyland, others address it as Fantasy World. An intended theme park that lays proudly in Lemery, Batangas. I used to just glance at it's sight when we pass through Baranggay Mayasang in Batangas. I also had a couple of pictures taken with it as a background, but that was ages ago. Back then i even thought it was creepy because it looks old and haunted. This month though, I was given the chance to set my foot in this mysterious realm and i had this mixed emotion of excitement and thrill. I was kinda scared. The entrance fee is 1kphp for 10pax so darn if you guys are 11 that's gonna be 2kphp regardless. My fear was rubbed off with the thought that i can finally marvel on this site that draws attention to travelers of Batangas. So there, we were greeted by medieval-themed tower in a castle entrance with defensive structure. Inside is a park surrounded by more castles but nothing compared to Disneyland. Some parts are not even painted and the colorful rides are not operational. There's a huge garden in the middle area and good that the fountain is working. There's nothing much to explore really. Though you can climb up inside the castles and have your picture taken on top of the tower. There's also a hanging bridge connected in tree houses. The only activity here is photoshoot, they offer an area where you can play pretend to be royalties, complete with throne, crown, wigs and courtly wardrobe and accessories (that's 300php). They have food stall inside in a reasonable price. And other than that, there are parts where you have an unobstructed view of the entire Batangas in a bird's eye view. As spectacular as it may seem from afar, it's all a facade. It's just a photo park and a playground to kids. Nobody knows if this is gonna be improved and working in the future. But until then, this fantasy world will remain a fantasy.
