Davao Attractions Reviews: Davao Crocodile Park

Undoubtedly the best zoo in Davao, despite it's size. (Of course, zoos in Manila are bigger.) However, their animal repertoire is still impressive, and you can really see that the animals are well taken cared of. 

What's more, booking and group reservations are convenient, and they even give discounts for package orders (the same company group owns a river rafting, beach and zipline facility too). 

Also, another thing-to-like about Crocodile park is that it's located in a complex where there's really good food (visit exotic resto Kaonanan), an art-full souvenir shop, a butterfly house nearby, a Zorb facility, and they even house the best ice cream shop in Davao city: Sweet Spot Ice Cream.

Animal Blessing at Davao Crocodile Park

Last Sunday, October 14, 2012, Davao Crocodile Park celebrated the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron of animals, with a fun-filled day for pets and pet-owners alike.

The event started at 8:00 with a mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel M. Gonzaga, parish priest of St. Francis of Assisi, Maa. After that, Father Manny went around and blessed the pets brought by the park’s guests and then toured the park for the blessing of animals.

It was indeed a very memorable day. Over 30 pets were “christened”, cultural performers lit up the program with their dance numbers and a free flowing pica-pica affair capped off the morning. The best part? Entrance to the event was FREE! St. Francis would be very happy. Thank you Crocodile Park!
