children and families this Easter Sunday.

Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts invites families to a roaring Easter celebration with Dinoland Easter Sunday: Hop, Hunt, Roar, a day of prehistoric fun, themed activities, entertainment, and dining for children and families.

The celebration will feature a dino-themed inflatable play area, booth games, face painting, balloon twisting, a magic show, line dancing, and a photo booth, along with the much-anticipated Easter egg hunt and games with prizes throughout the day. Adding to the prehistoric fun, young explorers will have the chance to meet and greet a baby triceratops and baby raptor from Dino Crew, take photos with the friendly dinos, and join in dino-inspired games, while parents can also take part in specially prepared games and activities. 

“We wanted to create an iconic Easter celebration that children will truly remember,” said Gagan Talwar, General Manager of Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts. “As a family-centric hotel, Dinoland: Hop, Hunt, Roar is our way of bringing families together for a day filled with fun, adventure, and shared moments that make the holiday even more special.”

Early bird bookers from now until March 20 can enjoy special discounted rates and a chance to win an overnight stay in a Family Suite, which will be raffled among all confirmed bookings within the period. At the celebration, two additional Family Suite stays will be raffled off among attendees, with each guest receiving one raffle ticket. Twenty Disney Store cash vouchers from SM will be given away, along with loot bags filled with goodies from Rebisco, Tiny Buds Baby, PikNik, Gardenia, ACT II Popcorn, Ceres, Absolute, VItamilk, and creative items from Charm’d Studio for the kids. Guests can also look forward to special food and drinks made with premium ingredients from partners Philadelphia and Evian Sparkling.

I first discovered @elranchobbq during the pandemic, and they’re still going strong! With quality smoked meat like this, it’s no surprise why! The Black Angus Beef Belly was smoked for 12=14 hours and you’re going to love it with house made BBQ sauce!

Want to enjoy a day at a country club without paying a membership fee?

I took my family to @alvieracountryclub in Porac, Pampanga, where we indulged in delicious Kapampangan dishes at @manyamanalviera !

Aside from their authentic favorites, I also tried their Crafted Flavors of Manyaman collection - reimagined Pampanga desserts that stay true to local traditions.

A must-visit when you’re in Pampanga!

GOOD NEWS for The Pickiest Eater followers:

Get a day tour pass without paying the P300 entrance fee - you only need to cover the P300 consumable. Solid deal!
