Upside Down Museum Is The Newest Interactive And Off-The-Wall Museum In Manila





Hello April! Great news! I will be flying to Japan next week. Time to prepare and pack my things! Who else got pranked last April 1st? Too bad you're innocent. For sure you didn't miss hearing this from a friend or relative. This is just one of the pranks or fake news spread out mostly on social media when the first day of the month started. These hoaxes like your friend posted a pregnancy test with two positive lines on her facebook wall even if she's single, your favorite actor died in car crash or someone got robbed will surely trigger your gullible brain. So, be careful! Aside from academic graduation season in the Philippines, easter egg hunt and summer, this month will never be special without April fool's day. It's like a huge party popper to welcome the new month. Oh, wow! Time flies way too fast, I can't believe that we're done with the first quarter of the year. How are your new year's resolutions going? Well, I never created one, so I don't have so much pressure. But no worries, you still have nine months, just continue trying, okay?


Welcome to Upside Down Museum! Totally I consider this as coincidence, to post an article somewhat relative to April fool's day. Why? No, don't worry I won't crack a joke. These past few weeks this art museum trended on my facebook news feed and my feet couldn't wait to visit. Hell Yeah! And we made it. It was my first time to visit this off-the-wall place and the sixth museum I visited this year. Tell you what, I thought I was like in a movie of "Alice in Wonderland". Very fictional, interactive and playful. Literally everything is Upside Down. Wow! It will really fool your eyes. Located at the former "Boom Na Boom" grounds, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City, Metro Manila. You'll never make a wrong turn since it's surrounded by famous places in Manila such as an exhibition center World Trade Center Metro Manila, 24 hours spa and health club Wensha Spa and amusement park Star City.


We went there early afternoon but their hours of operation: 11am-9pm daily. We thought of taking advantage on their promo at first for 580 pesos(roughly 11 US Dollars) per visitor there is inclusive of Star City Ride-All-You-Can but due to lack of time, later on we decided to pay the regular price of 450 pesos(roughly 9 US Dollars) per visitor. The entrance fee may sound pricey to some but you'll realize it's worth and the "value for money" when you get there. One major thing I like about Upside Down Museum is they have assistant(s) who will take pictures of you using your camera or mobile phone from start to finish. I can say that it's not an easy job and they will truly give justice on what you paid for. They will be the one who will create a pose for you and all you need to do is to follow. Voila! Amazing topsy-turvy photos you can post on your instagram. There are more than 15 features inside like the Leaning House(pictures above and below), Floating Corner, Upside Down House, Mirror House, Giant Sneaker and Giant Headset. They also have photographers who will inform you that they will take also pictures of you and it's up to you if you want to buy 2 hard copies of your favorite photos inclusive of soft copy of all the photos for roughly 500 pesos(roughly 10 US Dollars). You may review the photos and decide to buy before you exit. Here are our epic photos that will trick your eyes.


The Leaning House will never be a perfect home. No one can rest here and sleep. Mom! Let's find another house and make sure to pay the mortgage.


This made me sweat a bit. On the photo, all you know is I'm climbing up the ladder but no. In reality, sad to say I was crawling up the ladder that time. There are poses that require extra effort and this is one. If you wanna dare yourself and create jaw-dropping shots I may recommend you to just wear shorts to feel more comfortable.


Only in this museum where I can be like Spiderman. I remember the music video of A-Teens when I was a kid on this photo. I got hooked into their music and had LSS(last song syndrome) for like a week. Sorry, I think until now? "Upside down bouncing off the ceiling. Inside out, stranger to this feeling. Got no clue what I should do? But I'll go crazy If I can't get next to you". For sure 90's babies can relate here.


Oh my! What are you doing here? This happens when there's no sign in the bathroom door or the worst is there's really no bathroom door. 


Strike a cute pose even if you're in the middle of something. Ah? Forget about it.


Make sure to see an ENT doctor after this. Your eardrums might have ruptured.


Yes! My vacation request got approved. Where do we go next?


This happens when you're grounded but you were able to go to your friend's birthday party. Make sure your mom will not hear you or else this will be your position until morning.


If you're working in a company for almost ten years and doing the same thing everyday, it's fast to get bored. So, to stay and live for another ten years I would say this position could be helpful.


What's the way to exercise your mind but also your muscles? Ah! Play chess upside down.


What if you're watching soccer then suddenly your TV turned off? Later on, you realized you didn't pay the bill. No choice but to do acrobatic moves.


Time to cook! Hey brother! Can you please give the knife? This is how we bond when everyone doesn't have work on Sunday.


This position might help not to have nightmare. Let's sleep!


Every Sunday, we have different chores to do. I always do the laundry, my other roommates clean the bathtub, shower room and dive into a toilet? That seems strange.


When you went from a party with Disco 70's theme and forgot to remove your afro hair at the waiting shed. 


This is like a throwback to one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, "Honey, I shrunk the kids".


I told you guys not to do it again. There's a stair at the back door. I hope my mom won't hear us.


When we tried to have a groupfie with one of my favorite classic cars, the "Volkswagen Beetle" but. I guess let's try another day?


I told you guys I won't fool you on this article. Upside Down Museum is really a happy place for everyone, whether it's a family bonding, get together with friends or going solo you will enjoy being part of different features. Maybe you can treat your son or daughter here after graduation ceremony or alternate place to visit this dry season. For promo you can visit their website www.upsidedown.com.ph and don't forget to like my facebook page Supermarkymacky. Oops! Also follow me on instagram. Super thanks and see you!

  1. Wow. Another nice place to visit in Manila. Being the 6th messen you've visited this year? Amazing. I haven't seen one this year yet. �� Anyways, this is something like the one inside Yexel's right? We went there last February but it's sad that the information in the internet is not accurate at all. So we've seen nothing.

    LOVE from MYXILOG

Mountains of the Philippines 2026: Mt. Pinatubo (Hike for a Cause: Walking with Purpose)

Hola a todos! It’s been super duper rainy these past few days—like, every five minutes! I hope you’re staying dry and safe, especially if you’re here in the Philippines. Please take extra care, everyone! And guess what? It’s August again, which means it’s my birth month! Yehey! How will I celebrate my birthday this year? Honestly, I don’t really know yet. I have a few little things I’d love to do with mi familia, but nothing too grand. I think I just want to keep it simple, just like the previous years. God has been so good to me, always. I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings He continues to give me, for the people He has placed in my life, and for the opportunity to be blessed so I can also be a blessing to others. Here’s to another year of life, love, lessons, and countless reasons to be grateful. Welcome back to another new blog post! Another day, another travel story to share. This time, let’s talk about hiking. Let me ask you—have you ever climbed a mountai...

Paradise Philippines 2025: Boracay (Familiar Shores, New Memories)

¡Hola, amigos y amigas! How are you today? Isang maulan na umaga! It's a multilingual day today as I'm kicking off this new blog with a mix of Spanish, English, and Tagalog. I thought it would be a fun way to greet everyone! Well, I've been feeling a little under the weather for about a week now. It's flu season, and a strong typhoon has just passed through the country, leaving us with rain that seems to fall 24/7. Kaya naman , it's been the perfect weather to stay indoors, get some much-needed rest, and gather my thoughts for today's blog. Boracay Keyhole Who here loves Olivia Rodrigo ? If you do, welcome to the club! Have you listened to her new songs—" Stupid Song ," " The Cure ," and " Maggots for Brains "? I've had them on repeat since last month, and I still haven't gotten tired of them. The lyrics, the artistry, the production—oh my, everything is just wow! I especially love how the songs blend sounds reminiscent of...

Casa Manila Intramuros: A Short Walk To The Trace Of The Colonial Past

How well do you know your country? Do you know well your history, cultures and traditions? Definitely not and that's really understandable. We wake up everyday and it's a human nature to think about what to eat or unfixed issue at work first. It's vague to say that we are living in this world where those things we've learned when we where in school are not useful or relevant in our everyday lives. Because time is important we no longer need to make it more complex and use trigonometry when we buy gas at the pump or at the grocery store. So, if I could answer that question how well I know my country, the Philippines? Let say from 10 the highest, it's a 5. Although I really love my country, from hardworking Filipinos to top-notch beaches and also my favorite subject before was History, I just forget it because these things are not useful on my daily chores. Sadly, we tend to just pass by these important details which are the roots of who we are now. How about you my...
