Things to Do in Valenzuela

A well-maintained public park with shaded walkways, a small lagoon, and a playground. Popular for morning jogs and evening family outings.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Visit before 8am to avoid the heat and hear the fountain. The park is quietest on weekday mornings.

A compact riverside park with a large lion statue, benches, and a paved promenade. Good for a short stroll along the Marilao River.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Best visited late afternoon for the breeze. The playground equipment is old but functional—check for loose bolts before letting small kids climb.

A small municipal museum inside the city hall building, featuring local archaeological finds, photographs of Old Valenzuela, and a collection of vintage tools.

🕐 Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

💡 The museum is rarely crowded—take your time with the photo album of the 1970s floods. It’s open during office hours only.

A restored ancestral house turned museum showcasing Valenzuela’s history, from pre-colonial artifacts to memorabilia of local hero Dr. Pio Valenzuela.

🕐 Tuesday–Sunday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM

💡 Ask the caretaker to open the upper floor—the wooden balcony offers a great view of the old town. Donation suggested but not required.

A 17th-century baroque church with a distinctive bell tower and coral stone walls. One of the oldest churches in Bulacan province.

🕐 Daily, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM

💡 Walk around the back—the old cemetery walls have niches still lined with Spanish-era tiles. Mass schedule is posted at the gate.
