Family get together in Tagaytay and we love our tour in in Picnic Grove. Nice view and ambience, we enjoyed our stay. We will go back!

It is located about 50 km south of Manila. It is the perfect place for family and friends picnics. There is a lot of greenary all around There is also a small zipline and horse riding facilities. One can also go for eco-trail which is made of boardwalk and wooden bridges.. It is the nearest place from where one can see Taal Lake and might Taal Volcano.
The entry fee is 75 pesos and 300 pesos for zipline. It's open daily from 7 to 7 and on Saturdays full day.

TERRIBLE! the place is a total mess. Rubbish everywhere and broken furniture and bbqs. They should be ashamed of charging visitors .
Very expensive considering the place is a s***hole. 75php to enter per person, then 50-200php to park. 150 -600php to sit at a table or shed. And you have to clean the tables before you sit at them.
This is tourism at its very worst. It could be beautiful if looked after but it seems as if the entry fees go straight into the owners pockets and nothing is spent maintaining the place.
It’s a disgrace.

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.

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.

Everything here is so expensive! The entrance fee here is 75 pesos per head which is not that bad, you have to pay to park there but you can enter here without a vehicle, the zipline costs 300 pesos for just a really short ride and the photo costs 100!
the horseback riding also costs 300 but its only for kids or small adults because the horses there are quite small! but that's not all you also have to pay 10 pesos to use the restroom, i would not recommend to go here if your family has a tight budget. (sorry for my bad grammar/spelling)

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 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.

This is a nice wooded park on the ridge with several vista's, picnic tables, and shops. The shops tended to be similar and contained the usual souvenir/ tourist items - bottled water, magnets, shirts, key chains.
We entered on a trike and our driver was helpful telling us where to pay the entrance fee (50 php each). Otherwise, we would have been confused. We came for the ferris wheel, and that another 150 php each.
The ferris wheel was slow moving and tall, giving good views throughout the ride. However, it was squeaky, the windows worn, and the ride a little stuffy. Worth the price, but not something I would do again.
Zip lines and horse riding were other pay attractions.
We mostly enjoyed the views and vista's. The vendors selling seeds were polite. The horseriding sales were a little more pushy and usually needed two "no's" before they left.
Overall, it was a nice place to wander around, enjoy the views and breezes for an hour. Family picnics were very popular too.

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?
