Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Combine both in one trip — they're only 10 minutes apart by car. Visit Temple of Leah first (opens 8am), then Sirao Garden (opens 7am).
Sirao Garden charges PHP 100 entrance and is cash-only. Temple of Leah is PHP 100 per adult, kids under 7 free.
Bring a wide-brimmed hat and fan. Both places are open and sunny — no shade at Temple of Leah's main staircase.
The best family photo spot is at Sirao's 'Giant Sunflower' installation. Go early to avoid queuing.
There are steep stairs at Temple of Leah. Strollers need to stay at the bottom — wear babies in carriers.
No food inside Sirao Garden. Pack snacks or eat at the cafes on the road between the two attractions.

A Real Parent's Story
My daughter thought we were in a fairy tale
“She twirled through the flower garden in her princess dress, convinced she was in a storybook. Temple of Leah made her ask 100 questions about 'why people build temples for love.'”

These two spots are worth the drive up the mountain. The Temple of Leah is surprisingly impressive for a private museum — the stonework, the Roman columns, the views over Cebu. Sirao Garden is smaller than photos suggest but the flowers are real and vibrant. My daughter loved the sunflower maze.
