Star City









Star City is a family-oriented 35,000 square metre amusement park next to the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Pasay City in the Philippines. It is considered part of the Cultural Centre Complex. The book Lonely Planet: Philippines describes the park as "'a decent amusement park right in the heart of the CCP Complex, although it also tends to get crowded."

Star City began as a seasonal carnival during the Christmas season, but has since grew into a large permanent complex that is open every day. It opened to the public in 1991.

Star City has a variety of attractions including kiddie rides, a playground, Winter Funland, Dino Island, Star Theater, miniature train rides, ago-kart track, and five roller coasters. Snow World, with freezing temperatures, has carved ice slides for kids, carved ice statues, ice castles and igloos. Dino Island contains a small museum with prehistoric artifacts.
