Enchanted Kingdom, the country’s first and only world-class theme park celebrated its 15^th Anniversary last year. A number of activities were held to commemorate its fifteen wonderful years of bringing fun and excitement not only to kids but also to people of all ages.

A month-long celebration was held during its anniversary month of October, including the launch of its newest ride, the 150 feet EKstreme Tower Ride and The Annual Search for EK’s Little Prince & Princess. Also on the same month, EK gathered the best of the local and international fireworks makers and competitors for the first ever Enchanted Kingdom Asian Sky Wizardry Fireworks Competition.

Last December, a gift-giving event dubbed as EK’s Make an Enchanting Wish Come True was held for the victims of Ondoy. Kids were treated to a whole day of fun – games, snacks gift-giving and storytelling session led by EK’s VP for Sales & Marketing herself, Cynthia R. Mamon.

And just when we thought the party was over, EK celebrated the arrival of the New Year by bringing the International YouTube sensation and Hollywood star CHARICE in a concert entitled “Enchanting New Year’s Cheers with Charice”.

“As Enchanted Kingdom approaches another milestone in its corporate existence – a decade and a half of magic – we are poised to continue to break records.  We shall continue to strive to exceed our guests’ expectations, not only through new, innovative and exciting rides and attractions and blockbuster entertainment, but also through superlative guest service that surely will result in positive and lifetime magical experiences,” explains Cesar Mario O. Mamon, EK’s Chairman and President.
