Tagaytay Picnic Grove

Tagaytay's playground is the popular Picnic Grove. It features huts line along the gentle slopes of the Tagaytay Ridge. It is a prime location, providing the finest view of the volcano far below. It is in Barangay Sungay East.

The Tagaytay Picnic Grove is just beside Tierra de Maria, located at Brgy. Sungay in the east-end of Tagaytay City. It is one of the cheapest attractions here in Tagaytay.

Tagaytay Picnic Grove is nestled at the slopes of Tagaytay Ridge with a magnificent view of the Taal volcano. The place is made much more special with the mild temperature due to its high altitude. It is a popular destination for tourists, local and foreign visitors, students on field trips, couples, and other groups. The facility provides cottages and rooms, camp areas, playgrounds, restaurants, pavilions, function halls for conferences or big parties. Several tables and picnic sheds are scattered all over the place.
