IN THE KNOW: Star City history

/ 05:14 AM October 03, 2019

Star City was one of the kiddie attractions of the Toys and Gifts Fair at the Philippine Center for International Trade and Exhibitions before it became a separate entity in 1991.

A pioneer amusement park, Star City was built on a 35,000-sqm lot in Pasay City known as the Star City complex which also housed two world-class theaters for the performing arts, as well as the offices and studios of Manila Broadcasting Co. It was operated by Star Parks Corp. of the Elizalde clan.

During Star City’s launching year, visitors numbered 1.3 million, rising to 2 million after three years.
