It is no mystery that Cebu is one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines. The city’s rich history, stunning beaches, metropolitan vibe, and wonderful cuisine draw in millions of tourists both domestic and international. Being the center of commerce in the Visayas, Cebu is reaching even greater heights with infrastructure development. And what’s more, tourists are flocking to Cebu theme parks to unwind and have fun with the entire family.
If you, like me, are planning a family trip to Cebu, here are 5 of the best Cebu theme parks you should consider visiting:
Cebu Ocean Park
Location: South Road Properties, Cebu City (near SM Seaside)
Tagged as the biggest oceanarium in the Philippines, Cebu Ocean Park is one attraction you should not miss. The park’s location makes it easy for every tourist to experience its wonders.

Kids and kids-at-heart will also relish the experience of going on a safari with large animals that they only see in books and on TV.

Anjo World and Snow World Cebu

Cebu does not just offer water and wildlife parks, they have winter-themed parks, too! Anjo World is one of the biggest Cebu theme parks and within the complex is the only winter-themed park in the Visayas and Mindanao. You and your family can now experience winter without ever leaving the tropics — penguins and snowball fights and all! On top of that, Anjo World offers heart-stopping rides like the Viking, Tower Drop, Space Shuttle and Boomerang. Little children can experience magical attractions like the London Taxi, Mr. Toad and the Golden Carousel.

JPark Island Resort and Water Park
Location: Maribago, Lapu-lapu City, Cebu
This park is the most kid-friendly among all Cebu theme parks, according to Klook. Designed with children in mind, the water park features a wonderland of water slides, splash areas, and an array of inflatable toys to keep them occupied. And then the kids are out in the pool, adults can also access JPark Island’s private beach. The theme park also offers accommodations that will continue to spark children’s fancies with their cutesy Pororo-themed rooms.

Waterworld Cebu
Location: Mandaue City, Cebu
Water adventures never end in Cebu! After all, this island province is surrounded by water, and water parks are so abundant here! On top of the water-themed Cebu theme parks list is the largest of its kind in Central Visayas — Waterworld Cebu. Experience the adventure of going through the 8 slides in the park — all designed with varying levels of thrill and difficulty but all safety-guaranteed. Fair warning: not all slides are for the faint-hearted but those who opt-out of the slides can enjoy the water nonetheless.
