Things to do in Makati

Top experiences at a glance

Makati’s most-booked experiences lean into easy, family-friendly fun and sightseeing: playgrounds top the list, followed by attraction passes and guided tours, with massages rounding out demand. Bookings dip in May and through parts of spring, then spike around October, so the city’s rhythm runs from quieter spring weeks to a very busy October.

Best activities by traveller type

Families will find playgrounds and attraction passes the most convenient choices — these cater well to kids and make exploring the city simple. Couples often favour attraction passes and tours for a relaxed way to see highlights together, while solo travellers or small groups will appreciate the variety in tours and the accessible entry point of playground experiences. Massages suit anyone after a pampering treat, especially after busy days of sightseeing.

What travellers from Australia typically book ahead

Most visitors from Australia leave much flexibility in their plans: typical bookings show people often book close to arrival, though the earliest planners secure things around eleven days ahead. Booking a little earlier is especially wise for October, when demand peaks and popular options get busy.
