A grand multi-sensory illuminated interactive museum, Tales of Illumina brings a world-class indoor attraction where you can discover magical installations and take gram-worthy photos. It is a 45,000 square-foot theme park inspired by our very own Philippine mythology. Here’s what you can expect at this magical experience:
The back story
Ten-year-old Hiraya has always wished for her imagination to come to life. Through her dreams, she was able to create a magical land called Tales of Illumina. She goes through many adventures across her dreamworld, which you can witness in every room of the museum.
You can even snap a photo while standing on Hiraya’s hands:
What can you see inside?
Curated for kids and kids-at-heart, Tales of Illumina has 36 magical installations, which would take about two hours to go through. Here’s a sneak peek into some aesthetic photo spots for the gram.
Kaleidoscope, a room filled with mirrors on all sides.
Whimsical Path, a colorful lane where each step brings out a musical note.
Moon Magic, a series of lit-up swings that look like giant moons you can sit on.
Colors of Emoticons, a once-white room where you can slap colorful stickers on the walls.
Other activities
Before you enter the museum, you can choose to rent a gown, costume, or head accessory and dress up like a cute fairy, a gorgeous princess, or a mighty warrior. A gown rental costs PHP 500 , while a headdress rental is PHP 100.
Inside, you can also create a magical slime in the Magic Goo area, then enjoy a magical drink mix at the potion bar in the Chamber of Dreams.
Special events
They hold a one-of-a-kind performance by the charmers called The Illumina Show filled with a soulful song, elaborate choreography, and heart-stopping aerial dance. A show is scheduled daily at 1 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM, and 7 PM.
Souvenirs
At the end of the walk-through, there’s a gift shop where you can purchase a souvenir to remember the day by. There are wearable items like shirts, jackets, and caps, and some mementos like keychains and mood lamps. But you can also choose a quirky souvenir, like a wand, a bottle of slime, or some crystals.
