Honestly I hate to use the word ugly but yes, this place is...dirty and seems like whoever's managing it is NOT doing its job well. Do not waste your time here and even your money. Entrance fee is 50 per head plus 35 for parking. As soon as we got inside I didn't even want to step out of the car but didn't have a choice. Place is dirty! I can't imagine how people can eat considering the tables amd surrounding is an absolute mess. The toilet is closed and from the looks of it, it looks awfully icky to the highest high. Take my word, it's not worth visiting the place for whatever reason.

First time ko makapunta dito and actually pumunta kami around 9am. Wala kami masyado nagawa since walang activities due to covid restrictions as in walang horse back riding zipline and such. And I don’t know we’re unlucky kasi hindi din nagpakita si taal that time. We even had lunch first and pagbalik namin wala padin talaga. Madaming construction ongoing. I think they are preparing to serve us better once the pandemic is over. Hmmm. You can check out my video posted in YT (Heidy Tolete)

This is one of the best places to go to if you want a nice view of Taal Volcano and lake. Entrance fee is Php 35 for parking, plus Php 50 per head. There are lots of shops where you can buy souvenirs, and cottages for rent if you're on a picnic. Otherwise you can simply dine at some of the eateries in the area. There's also a Ferris wheel and zipline. The viewing deck gives you a great view of Taal Volcano and lake. There's also an area for horseback riding. All in all, Picnic Grove is a nice place to visit. However, their toilets and payment area need a lot of upkeeping.

My impression is that the place is not quite what it used to be and a number of areas were being renovated. There is an entrance fee plus parking fee plus attraction fees. Its good for a small walk..picnics and has good views of Taal.

very nice place since i love nature. its a bit cloudy so we didn't see taal volcano clearly. my dad keep on reminiscing his days in tagaytay since he visited and work in the place during his younger age. for me a first timer enjoyed shopping and horse back riding. kinda disappointed that the area for horse riding is very little and i pity the horse for she had to carry 2 persons.

50% capacity ng tao. So if ever na-reah na nila ang capacity, nagsasara na sila ng gate. You need to wait at least 2-4 hrs para makapasok ka. Kasi mostly sa mga pumapasok ng umaga, hapon na lumalabas. Kids are allowed. Parking fee of P30.

We decided to go there while we were waiting to check in to our hotel. It was a nice park with horseback riding and zipline (not operating the day we were there). Please note that if you are a big American man, they do not have horses that you can ride. The horses are smaller size but good for kids, and smaller adults. You can also take your own food and have a picnic.

This place is so amazing and at the same time so relaxing. You get to ride horses and other rides. We bought lots of souvenirs from stores inside the attraction. This place is a heaven and a perfect view of the famous Taal Lake

I presume this place must have had it's more glorious days... But today, it is badly maintained- old pavements, unattended fields, picnic chairs are old and dirty... Basically the place looks old and dull.
It's a waste because it's view isn't bad and the natural air and greens was good.
We walked in the place and was swarmed by harassing vendors selling pony rides and trips to the Taal. We passed the zipline, which looks old. And walked to the picnic booth, where we sat facing the partial Taal view, together with some stray cats and ants. We tried to relax but couldn't sit more than 15mins.

Is there a place inside the picnic grove where you can leave you things? (For a commuter) While you are walking around the picnic grove?
