PHOTOGRAPHY and WORDS BY MARIANO SAYNO
Fantasy World was supposed to be the biggest and grandest theme park in the country, but it never opened as such. It has been perceived by many people over time as an abandoned castle because of its incomplete state. Built in Lemery, Batangas, it is believed that the owner of the property had problems making him close his entire park. As a result, several areas became ruins and decaying over time due to abandonment.
The castle walls began peeling off and wearing away, but for some tourists and travelers, they see it as an opportunity for photo ops and movie settings.
As a result of this opportunities, the management has decided to keep Fantasy World in this status and continue to open it up to visitors.
The tower of the castle is one of the first things one sees when approaching Fantasy World. Climbing to its viewing deck provides a panoramic view that stretches all across Batangas, Quezon and Laguna provinces, giving visitors an excellent perspective on Taal Lake, its volcano and surrounding towns included.

Tourists can enjoy taking photos in the park’s whimsical fountain along with its massive garden. Two tree houses are connected by its hanging bridge where tourists enjoy crossing over between them while they take photos or just walk around enjoying some peace-time activities from time to time.
