BGC experience

We wanted to give a treat to our kids after a very long time of not having traveled together. (They got some cash gift from their Uncle Winslow and Aunt Ines and we thought for this year only, they deserve a little break from the usual). I saw this ad on Kidzania and thought since we have a friend from Taguig City, maybe it is an option (that would cut the lodging cost). So I went on with the arrangements and God was very gracious to us, it deserves some documentation so the kids can read about it later and reminisce.

Mga "Promdi" sa BGC

"We want you to enjoy BGC", said our friend and "living-in-a-condominium-at-BGC experience" benefactor. In my mind, what is BGC and what is there at BGC, and then I realized it is short for Bonifacio Global City.
Anyway, I was lucky enough to have experienced staying in 3-, -4-, 5-star hotels here and abroad. I stayed overnight in Shangrila in Ortigas city care of ADB many years ago, but this was different experience as it was first, this time with the hubby and two kids (I suddently realized it would have been nice to have brought Kharece as well), and second, it was out of the generous hearts of our friends which makes it a "thank-you-God" experience.
Riding the taxi on our way there from Victory Pasay, our taxi driver casually mentioned that BGC is previously part of Makati, but is now under Taguig City.

Kidzania

This was the main attraction which made us decide to go to BGC in the first place. It offers "experience" and that was what we wanted our children to have. It promises not just fun, but a little educational experience so why not.

Watching our kids run here and there, decide which activities to take on, and how to spend their kidzos helped us know more and discover more about them, and confirmed somehow what we already know.

 Mind Museum

Mind museum was also at BGC and was not very far from the condominium room where we stayed. It was actually walking distance so we had a chance to walk around the city. Too bad, umobra ang kakuriputan ko so hindi na kami sumama sa loob. The two boys seem to have enjoyed, unfortunately mas yung interactive things and quizzes ang naaalala based on their stories.

BGC ambiance

It is a likable city first because it is clean and the pedestrian lanes and sidewalks are friendly and safe. Its shops and markets are also a little different. I so love that colorful dancing fountain fronting uptown mall.

Anyway, overall it was a great experience for the kids, the hubby and me. We thank our couple friend who made it possible.
