A Stroll Into the Magical World of Tales of Illumina

Tales of Illumina is a 45,000 square-foot indoor theme park with over 30 light and sound installations that are not only IG-worthy but are also very educational. You get to hear from famous (or rather infamous) creatures of Philippine mythology, such as the manananggal and the kapre as they tell you about themselves. Aside from myths and legends, it also features well-known works in Philippine literature like the Ibong Adarna and Florante at Laura.

Kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy walking through the winding pathways of the park, immersing themselves in the various dwellings of the supernatural. With surround sound-themed background music and even wall-to-wall mirrors and lights, it'll be hard not to feel a sense of wonder as you discover the different worlds within.

Tales of Illumina is divided into several areas and rooms with its own theme and highlights. Channel your inner Alice in Wonderland as you go around. Rooms vary from being a visual treat to an all-around treat for the senses. Some rooms allow you to create music by stepping on round platforms on the ground while some rooms are filled with mirrors that create light illusions and kaleidoscope-like effects. There’s even a room where kids can make their own “potion” (a.k.a slime) and a room where you can get free drinks from a witch’s brew. Aside from the rooms and installations, Tales of Illumina also features a free dance and acrobatic show.
