Known as the supposed Disney World and the biggest, grandest, and the best theme park of the Philippines, Fantasy World sits alone and quiet at Lemery, Batangas Province. This abandoned theme park is sure to be successful if it weren’t closed down due to financial issues, but what’s left of it now is peek from the past of what could’ve been.

Constructed in the early 2000’s, Fantasy World saw multiple financial problems even before becoming a fully-operational theme park, eventually leading the owner to desert the massive project. Due to the lack of management and clean-up over the years, several areas of the park was taken by nature and the structural paints and design of the castle walls peel off and wear out until the rides were added. Fortunately, management and officials then decided to keep hold and maintain the theme park’s ageing status but despite being closed down, Fantasy World slowly became a tourist spot and a photo location to the public. Who wouldn’t love the rustic and eerie atmosphere of a castle?

The walls of are absolutely humongous, much like keeping a hungry giant out. The tower is high enough for you to be able to see the entire park from above, giving you a moment of rapunzel’s life. A whimsical fountain is located at the massive backyard of the castle where two tree houses are connected with a hanging bridge, which creatively transitions from the royal palace to the enchanted forest.

If you are looking for a truly magical experience while having a trip at Batangas Province, then be sure to visit at the enchanted, beautiful, and unique Fantasy World!
