The entrance fee for adult was 75 pesos. Very affordable for the experiences. Since we got here pretty early and on weekday, the ticketing staff had some trouble to find the changes.

It wasn’t worth 75php entry. There is not much to see and it’s tiny place. When you compare it with the Fort which has the same entry it doesn’t make sense! It’s opened till 5pm, I was there around 4pm and it was empty apart from a few people doing photo shoot and two foreign tourists with a guide.

When I entered the gate, I easily noticed that the area was busy. A lot of visitors were taking photos, having picnic, others were playing, others were eating and the other activities. Because this day is special there's free entrance and activity, stores, arts, and food vendors. The ground is covered with well maintained grass with bricks and artistic rocks on the pathways. The old cannon displayed by the entrance captured my attention because of its unique appearance. 09/2017

If you are a fan of old architecture like the Spanish era, then this place is a must. There is also a garden and trees. The area is used for events. It is clean and well-maintained. It is a nice place to spend time with family and friends. You can enjoy the place while learning a piece of history

Remebered use to just walk around here for free now there is an entrance fee of 75. Quite expensive for a very small area to look around but if the budget is to maintain history its okay. You get a great view of the wall otherside and rock formation in here. There are also some lovely bonsai displayed.

I can say that this is where you can hang out with family or friends. This place has bench and tables to eat and chat with family. It has lots of trees which is a good thing and also plants and flowers. It has entrance fee which is P70 pesos but if it has discount like me a student it'll be P50. We also have kids with us that has no fee since the guard said it. The Restroom is clean and maintained. Overall 10/10.
