Robot Zoo and Nido Discovery Center at MOA

Metrodeal had a promo, Instead of paying 350 pesos, you'll just pay 160 pesos per pax for Robot Zoo Entrance and 1 show of your choice in Nido Discovery Center's Planetarium, I immediately grab my credit card and availed the promo for our family of four..

We went on a Saturday, a post birthday treat for my 5 y.o. Boy, together with my hubby and our 3 y.o. Girl. The usual scenario at EDSA going to MOA, traffic was terrible. Took us 2 hours to reach the place and we just came from a lunch at Fairview, Q.C. Anyway, the line at the counter was long. And all of us are holding the voucher from metrodeal. Hehe! So about 10 minutes of waiting, we were given tickets for the Robot zoo, and tickets for a 4:40pm show at the planetarium. And the show for that time is One World,One sky with big bird and Elmo of Sesame street. It was fun for the toddlers, my kids enjoyed it so much. But a total disappointment to adults like my husband who were asleep half of the show. Thank goodness it only lasted 20 minutes for if it lasted a little longer, snoring would be heard across the cinema. I guess it will really be interesting depending on the choice of show so you have been warned, choose your show according to your interest and not according to the time preferred!

After the show, we went to the Robot zoo, which again, a fun and enjoyable experience for kids and a total disappointment for the adults. I don't see the beauty or purpose of the Robot animals, some look junk to me. Others aren't working, and it is just a waste of time and money. It may look on photos but it's definitely not worth it. The kids enjoyed it cos they have the space to run around and nothing much!

Honestly, I feel I've been ripped off. Firstly, the Nido Discovery center is having a renovation, the smell at the area from the lounge to the planetarium was terrible. It's the smell of paint so it's really bad. And you could smell it all through out the show. To think of it, I don't know how or why we lasted to stay there for 20 minutes and so. Secondly, the Robot animals at the zoo were broken. Others were working just fine, but still, I don't see the educational purpose or any purpose of it.

So it is a waste of time and money. I wouldn't recommend anyone to sit on a terrible traffic going there. You will just be dismay.

As a consolation, we did have fun riding the MOA eye. Read my separate post.
