Peek At The Week | October 13-19
by: Manila For Kids
We found 26 things to do in Manila with kids this week!
Let's start by congratulating Enchanted Kingdom with their 21st anniversary! They have opened a new Ghostbusters attraction you really must see. There's a few other spooky things going on, like a murder mystery at the Ayala Museum and a sleep over at the Mind Museum. If you would rather keep it light, go build Lego, visit the Lopez Museum for free or make some 3-D art at Molito.
Sporty families will want to try out flowboarding or take the kids for a family fun run and many other sports activities at UP Academic Oval! Older kids might want to learn from the Masters and have a workshop from a legendary screenwriter or from Disney's first Asian animator. And there is more...Happy weekend everyone!

BOOKS | Bookstop Project

The Bookshop Project has landed in Molito Alabang! Let your kids select books to donate to the library and get a book in return. The Bookshop Project is intended as a network of libraries that would be where the people are, instead of being a library building. You walk in and you walk out. You give a book and get a book. It is a place and an idea. It is a mobile library for the mobile generation. Some of the activities that can be expected as the Book Stop continues in its little garden include storytelling, pop-up movies, and spoken word poetry readings.
Until January
