Crocolandia Park is operated by Crocolandia Foundation, Inc. was founded way back year 2001 in Biasong, Talisay City, Cebu – with its aim as a conservation center for endangered animals. As a wildlife conservation center, it is responsible for protecting and breeding area for endemic and those animals threatened with extinction such as Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) and the Sailfin Lizards that can be found only in countries like Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

Crocolandia Park in Talisay City Cebu is an animal conservation center mainly for Philippine crocodiles and other endangered animals.

It is a home also for animals like civets, rufous hornbill, ostrich, monitor lizards and many others. Crocolandia Park or “Crocolandia” for short, is known for its mini-zoo, ponds, library and museum therefore kids and even adults would love to visit. I would say that this Park, even if it is just considered a small farm or a mini-zoo; it is one of the best tourist attractions in the whole town of Cebu when it comes to nature and wildlife sanctuary. It is the best place to visit together with your family and friends.

Sharing the Map I created with the help of Google Map (https://maps.google.com.ph/). See below.

Map going to Crocolandia Park Talisay City, Cebu

For visitors from Cebu City, Northern and Southern Cebu area (with private vehicle):
If you have a car or other transportation service, travelling via South Road Properties (SRP) also known as Cebu South Coastal Road is preferably convenient when it comes to mobility and shorter travel time due to fast moving traffic. But you can still opt to access the city main road. For visitors coming from Southern Cebu, you can access the SRP after passing the Town of Minglanilla through Natalio Bacalso National Highway and by turning right before the intersection ahead (with traffic light) to access SRP. Once you arrive at the intersection or crossing (with traffic light) controlling the traffic between SRP, San Isidro Road and the Street going to Dumlog Talisay, go left turn if your origin is from Cebu City and Northern Cebu or right turn if you’re from Minglanilla Cebu or Southern part of Cebu. Just go straight accessing Dumlog Street until you reach the Arbee’s Bakeshop or the Green Building with a Salon named Simply Flora in the right side near the crossing or cross road. Before you will reach the crossing and the landmark you will see a small wet market of Barangay Dumlog Talisay. At the crossing, turn to right and go straight ahead. Our Landmark would be the short bridge crossing the Mananga River. Few meters away after crossing the bridge via Burgos Street, you can see in the right side; the entrance Gate of Crocolandia Park. Then, Happy Arrival! Welcome to Crocolandia!

If you want to travel via PUVs (Public Utility Vehicles) such as Taxi | Van for hire | Jeepney | Motorcycle | Tricycle | Motorcycle | Pedicab. There will be less convenient if you travel by Pedicab literally due to some rough roads and dust. But, if you want to experience the Xplorer way, Go on. Ride a pedicab. For those who will travel by Van or Jeepney or Tricycle or Motorcycle, our starting point would be the main Landmark, the Gaisano Fiesta Mall in Tabunok, Talisay.
