🧪 Family Fun in Manila | Kids’ Science Play at SciScape & Christmas Lights in Newtown

In this episode of Panglao Life, our British family spends the day exploring Manila with our two children, Sirena and Aurora. We travel to Ayala Circuit Mall in Makati City to visit SciScape by DreamLab, a hands-on science play centre designed for curious kids. Sirena dives straight into making colourful slime, experimenting with textures and colours, while both girls enjoy the interactive zones and the huge ball pits — the perfect indoor activity for families visiting Manila.

Later that evening, we head out into the city to explore Newtown’s Christmas lights, enjoying the festive decorations and nighttime atmosphere. We walk through the night market, browse the food stalls, and try to decide what to eat. Sirena chooses a vegetarian shawarma from a local stall, while I debate whether to try the Mongolian grill — but ultimately decide to save that adventure for another day.

This vlog captures a mix of family travel, kids’ activities, and Manila nightlife, giving a real look at what it’s like to explore Makati with young children while living in the Philippines.
