Got Date Night Plans? Go Stargazing for Free at This Tagaytay Park
Happening this Saturday.
(SPOT.ph) Hoping to stargaze outside of Metro Manila for a better view of the night sky? Try something not too far from home: Skyranch Tagaytay has a one-time stargazing session on this Saturday night.
Thrill-seekers can spend the day inside Ferris wheels, bumper cars, roller coasters, drop towers, and 10 other attractions at Skyranch Tagaytay then end it with a more peaceful telescope viewing on November 25 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. It's the best of both words.
The telescopes can be found at Phase 2 near the Log Coaster ride. The best part? This event is free for November 25 ticket holders at Skyranch Tagaytay.
There will be a P100 entrance fee per person to be paid at the entrance, while Ride-All-You-Can passes are available for P350 and P388 via SM Tickets and Klook, respectively.

What to know about stargazing night at Skyranch Tagaytay
The event is in collaboration with Skywatchers Society of Las Piñas, who will be setting up two to three large telescopes for the event.
According to them, the event will begin with an astronomy lecture about the basics of stargazing, which will be followed by a telescope viewing of the waxing gibbous moon (the phase when the Moon's apparent shape is thickening to a half or full moon).
There’s no maximum number of participants for this event either, so you can participate whenever you feel like it. Skyranch Tagaytay is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. this long weekend from November 25 to November 27.
Do note that the stargazing event schedule can change without prior notice in case of unfavorable weather conditions.
