Who wants to learn Kung Fu with Po, to train a dragon like Hiccup, or to do acrobatic stunts like Alex?! (I do! I do!) I know – and am absolutely positively sure – that my two little ones would LOVE to! Here’s the best news ever – all our dreams will come to life before the year ends!
On May 22, 2014, Melco Crown Philippines announced a collaboration with DreamWorks Animation to develop the world’s first DreamWorks-inspired “Edutainment” center at City of Dreams Manila. Yup, you heard it right. That’s right HERE in MANILA!
The official announcement of “DreamPlay by DreamWorks” at the City of Dreams was opened by a medley of DreamWorks’ songs performed by the Mandaluyong Children’s Choir. After which, Mr. Clarence Chung and Mr. James Clark “magically” turned the page of the “enchanted” story book to officially launch the logo as part of the DreamPlay edutainment center.

DREAMPLAY: The World’s First DreamWorks-inspired Edutainment Center
All kids age 0 – 100 will be delighted to know that they can soon interact directly with DreamWorks characters from their favorite movies including Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Shrek, and How To Train Your Dragon.

DreamWorks is home to the world’s greatest creative and artistic talents who have created and continue to create great stories and characters that not only entertain but also capture the hearts of kids of all ages. Soon, we’ll be able to experience the awesome worlds of these characters in an educational way within DreamPlay at City of Dreams Manila.

This exciting blend of integrated live and digital play spaces where we can immerse ourselves in the world of DreamWorks Animation will definitely be a favorite family destination.
Harnessing leading digital technologies, this attraction is going to be unlike anything that currently exists and will undoubtedly become a new type of destination for families, both in the Philippines and across the rapidly growing leisure-destination markets of Asia.

DreamPlay was developed by DreamWorks Animation in conjunction with their partners from Melco Crown Entertainment and their designers from iP2 Entertainment. Each DreamPlay by DreamWorks experience is being designed exclusively for City of Dreams Manila.
CITY OF DREAMS: Where Dreams Come to Play
The first DreamPlay by DreamWorks will be part of the City of Dreams Manila destination resort soon to be opened at the gateway of the Entertainment City Manila. City of Dreams Manila is an integrated casino resort being developed and will be operated by Melco Crown Philippines in alliance with SM Group’s Belle Corporation. Aside from DreamPlay, it will feature Manila’s first branded Family Entertainment Center and the Fortune Egg, an architecturally-unique dome-like structure expected to become an iconic landmark of the Manila Bay area.
City of Dreams Manila is set to become a premier leisure destination for global entertainment seekers. Upon opening, its aggregated gaming space will include approximately 365 gaming tables, 1,680 slot machines, and 1,680 electronic table games.

Early Christmas Present
City of Dreams Manila including DreamPlay by DreamWorks is set to open its doors late this year 2014. There are no details yet as to entrance rates and schedules but you still have plenty of time to save some extra leisure money for this. I’m absolutely positively certain that the entire family will have the time of their life at the world’s first Edutainment Center. A day (or two, or more…) at DreamPlay would be a truly awesome Christmas gift for the little ones. 🙂
