A magical Halloween at the ridge
On October 25, Mystic Magic: Tudor’s Treat Quest turns Ballrooms 2 and 3 into a daytime spectacle of delight. The afternoon promises a lively blend of entertainment—a magic show that wows both kids and adults, raffles to spark excitement, and a hearty snack buffet to keep energy high. In a special collaboration with Cartoonville at SkyRanch Tagaytay, the event expands into an outdoor adventure with a giant slide, inflatable playground, and Gel Blaster arena, offering two hours of park access for participants. It’s a perfect family-friendly escape that blends spectacle with interactive play.
Ticket pricing is structured to be accessible for families: P1,300 for children aged 3 to 12 and P1,850 for adults, making it easy to plan a memorable day without compromising on comfort or convenience.
A weekend escape for the family
For guests who want to extend the Halloween energy into a longer stay, the Wizard’s Weekend Getaway presents a turnkey solution. The package includes an overnight stay for two adults and two children, breakfast at Veranda, and grandstand access to the Halloween event for one adult and one child.

Rates start at P10,000 for a Superior Room, offering a practical option for a short break with family members in tow.
