The 19 best shows in Makati (2024)

The Ayala Triangle Gardens is a landscaped urban public park in the Philippines Makati area. It features green grass, towering trees, and rows of restaurants making it a popular family hangout. The park is well known for its spectacular lights-and-sounds show that runs for a month every Christmas season.

Even though it is not like the old times where the green grounds is still a literal triangle, the owners still managed to keep the grounds and the trees in tacked. I also love that the happy and lively vibe of the place is going back even with covid still around.I did go back to the grounds to witness the Art fair 2022 which is indeed a breath of fresh air and a good opening this year. It features modern art from different artists. It was a really good ensemble.

Such a beautiful place to cool down after walking all day (which i did). Really clean and abundantly green lawns. It was so peaceful and totally worth the visit. It almost seemed like the humidity disappeared when i stepped into the park.Not far but within the same area there’s an underground shopping area with some cafe’s and restaurants. It seems to be under development and hopefully will be completed soon.Enjoy my pictures.

This expansive lawn with trees and flowering plants is one of the last lungs of Makati's concrete jungle. You can stroll, dine, exercise or do your fitness routine. Towering buildings surround this place but has its own atmosphere. This ever changing spot is a breather to the hectic and busy life of Makati's central business district.

Visiting here during weekdays and the park really offers a nice place to stroll around and take a breather. However, there's nothing much to do in here as there are no other facilities - asides from the Ayala Triangle Garden plaza that you can visit. Hopefully there'll be more facilities to be built in here!The Ayala Triangle Garden plaza itself is quite nice and offers selections of dining and cafe outlets to choose. Really love the building design and concept!

Ayala Triangle is a beautiful place to hang out, offering a serene and vibrant ambiance. It boasts an array of fancy restaurants, making it a perfect destination for those seeking a delightful dining experience amidst lush greenery. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a lovely day out in the city.

Ayala continues to imbibe how we can make business districts as livable and walkable communities. Ayala Triangle Gardens is one of proof of it! Surrounded by tall buildings yet this garden makes you feel serene and quiet. You can feel the breeze of the sun in this summer time.People are allowed to sit and stay in the grass area and it is even pet-friendly! You can have water jug because we think having a picnic is prohibited. We saw one family politely asked a guard to quickly and properly dispose their food and garbage.You can stay as long as you want (park is open until 10pm) too just practice clean as you go and do not leave your things unattended.There is parking beside Blackbird. You should be along Makati Avenue so that parking will be on your right side.Closest mall is Greenbelt 5, which has a parking area as well. From Greenbelt, you can pass thru the underground walkway to Ayala Triangle, it is a 5-minute walk from Paseo entrance.

The park is really good, not too big but clean, green, managed well, safe, and have some good restaurants and convenience stores. Slightly romantic at night. Some parts are close due to some revitalization projects. Pictures taken September 20, 2022 around 5-6pm light rain.

Always looking forward to the festival of lights during Christmas time. Perfect for bonding with family and friends. We enjoyed the music and the lights, especially the wide open space. There are cafes and restaurants if you get hungry. There is also a nice and clean airconditioned restrooms.Congratulations!

Super great place to hang, have a picnic, even work, mag munimuni, eat dinner, take a run, introspect, be with others, or just chill out and slow down. Ayala Triangle Gardens truly sets the bar for what an accessible people-centric park should be especially at the heart of the Makati Ayala Central Business District. Super glad we have one of these in our midst as Filipinos. They also have an upscale mall that looks remarkable with its lush greeneries and astounding architectural hill-esque design. They also of course house the original Philippine Stock Exchange, as well as other upscale restaurants. Definitely a must visit for those living and working in the area, especially on a weekday and off peak hours.

12/31/23 First time visiting during both the day (Ayala Ave was closed and conducting sound check for the new year Eve countdown later That night) and at night… no light show presumably due to NYE festivities. Hope to come back to see the Festival of Lights show. Beautiful water feature. Loved the use of local capiz.

Mar 2023: This is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We went here last Sunday to see the Spectrum Fair Manila. It's beside Ayala Triangle along Paseo de Roxas street. Btw, if you love cats this park is the place to be. It has lots of friendly and neutered/spayed cats that will greet you along the way. 😻❤️Jul 2023: We had a relaxing stroll and saw lots of beautiful kitties along the way 😊

Cute place to make friends and to go for a stroll. I loved the trees they are so beautiful and enduring.I enjoyed the architecture of the surroundings edifices and the areas where one can sit and chat with a friend or loved one.For sure worth a visit to anyone coming from abroad. Green spaces in Makati are most welcome! As others have said it’s good for a jog, people watching, and can serve as a refugee from the hustle and bustle of the megapolis that is the city of Manila.

The place is spacious and clean, but it is also very plain. There is not much to see, just people, dogs, and children walking around, running around, and playing. Some old people are doing zumba, which is entertaining to watch. It would be nice if there were some attractions, not just a plain grassy area in the center of high-rise buildings.

A place to enjoy Makati city and the park itself. Man made parks were made though trees have not been shady and thick. The health of the trees, its canopies have shaded out compared to the previous years. They needed rehabilitation and care.Though lights were structured for its illumination purposes, it gives beauty and light. Shops are recently renovated so stalls were put to cater snacks, coffee and such.Still looking forward to how Ayala Triangle Gardens will turn out to a greener haven in the future.

The music might not have been the usual holiday classics, but it added a unique twist to the light show, and my son loved it! He danced along to the catchy rhythms, and it was a fun way to experience something different.

A beautiful park in the business district. The views are refreshing. Greenery meets urban architecture. I imagine it would be good to have a picnic here.

I love the place, sits comfortably in the middle of a busy business center. Here they sometimes host art fare, a lot of dining options (but on the expensive side usually) and close to other malls like Greenbelt. The cons here: it's just a small land space, and you can't cycle around as it's not allowed. But they do have bike parking.

Makati's verdant oasis, embraced by the urban landscape, transforms into a vibrant spectacle during the Christmas season when trees adorned with lights come to life after sunset. Adjacent to the park, the newly erected Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 forms an elegant backdrop, rising prominently above the lush surroundings. For those seeking sustenance, a visit to the underground area offers a selection of restaurants and the Marketplace for grocery needs.

Very peaceful. Nice place for walking, jogging and exercise. Also there are some restaurants for breakfast after.

My favorite picnic place during lunch break!!! This park is so cozy, clean, peaceful, with everything you can think of for a perfect park. Definitely my fave park in Makati! ❤️

The light show before Covid was much better. The Christmas songs used are more traditional. Now it seems more techno and the show is shorter. It is only 7 minutes long. I was a little disappointed that it had changed a lot over the years. But it was still nice for them to have a Christmas light show for everyone.
