Go Karting inside Quezon City Memorial Circle

4:45 PM

Amidst the chaotic elliptical road ,a piece of paradise can be found that is definitely worth visiting with the whole family.

Quezon City Memorial Circle is a national park located just across the Quezon City Hall.
From afar, a tall structure (but actually a mausoleum) is already visible where the remains of the late president Manuel L. Quezon lies.
Had drove past the place many times but finally managed to visit the park a few months ago with my siblings and kids.
With everything that's going on in the world today, it's nice to occasionally be reminded that simple things do exist, like a gentle stroll in a park or just--- people watching!  
It was not our first time to visit this park actually.
Late night snacks and meetups were spent here a few years back.

In my head , I always imagine going to Central Park in New York City with my kids to let them see how breathtakingly magnificent the park is.
We are lacking of go-to areas like that here in the Philippines.
But the hope is strong for the future leaders of this country, that they would do something like that in time.



When we got there, I was astounded to find a huge improvement in the facilities throughout the area.
(kudos to some local government)
Plenty of  routes to take.. twisting and leading you into another park attraction.
The entrance fee here is only 10 pesos.

One attraction that caught my eye was the Go Kart Station.
Whether you have a little wannabe Michael Schumacher or you yourself want a soft thrill of a motorsport, the Go kart Station is ideal for all drivers young and old.
Ranging from 50 to 70 pesos for 15 minutes, you can enjoy go kart racing with your little ones depending on the choice of kart.
You may enjoy the ride alone or with a sidecar it's your choice.
If you happen to have your small one with you, you need to rent a kart with a sidecar.
The whole thing is safe anyway and management people there are in total control.
So why the long face you ask?
Well,my little boy wanted to drive the kart all by himself--unsupervised.
Too young kiddo!
They strictly recommend to put on a safety helmet first before buckling up.
Our child's safety is their topmost priority and i'm very cool with that.
Risk-taker drivers who frequently counterflow along the busy streets of Manila, you are prohibited to do your thing here!
Yep, you saw the sign!
They have two racing tracks actually.
The inner for the adults and outer for the kiddos.
Okay, here we go.
Focus.
Speed.
I am speed.
One winner, 4 losers.
I eat losers for breakfast.
Breakfast?
Maybe I should have had breakfast?
Brekkie could be good for me.
No, no, no, focus.
Speed.
Faster than fast, quicker than quick.
I am Lightning.
Remember when I told you how strict they were?
I was doing my selfie...thingy... when someone shouted at me from a thousand miles away using a megaphone to stop endangering other drivers on the track.
Sheesh.
Okay okay.
Laa deeee daaah :)
The Ice Age attraction was still under construction that time.
 You can also rent boats if you need a quiet time with the... fishes.


We also spotted a playground, Zipline, Fish spa.... I won't spoil any more attractions.
A cafe or a restaurant can be located nearby where you can enjoy a cool beer or a coffee and a snack.
You really need to go there and see the place yourself and the whole family before the year ends.

Quezon City Memorial is indeed the little oasis in the city that is cleverly created for the families who love to commune with nature.
