Great place with great History. Good for family trips and educational tours. It requires entrance fee very affordable. You may some WW II equipments weapons displayed and maintained for a very good background of the place. They have souvenir shops, small sari sari store for snacks near the main gate and small clinic available if someone requires basic medical services.
Hope this helps!

One of historic places to visit in Bataan. After you're received in the reception area, a brief historical video will be shared by the staff. From the receiving area, you can now walk to reach the cross. Possibly it will take less than 30 mins the most before you can reach the top. Located also at the top is the World War 2 museum.
