If you have a kid and who likes animals a lot, BALUARTE in Vigan is the place to be. There is a wide variety of animals and mind you, you can have a close-up interaction with them. THERE IS NO EXEMPTION! as you see on the picture, we made it with the tiger, the bird, even with the snake (Actually we did but I missed where the picture is 😅).

They also sell extraordinary flavors of ice cream and just outside the facility were differet souvenir shops where all goodies are all so affordable.
