Our grandparents are often the family’s cherished caretakers and storytellers. They are always ready to sit down with their loved ones, share life lessons and wisdom, and enjoy meaningful conversations over a home-cooked meal. But growing older doesn’t mean they want to stay cooped up at home.
Just like everyone else, lolo and lola deserve opportunities to have fun, discover new experiences, and enjoy enriching activities—especially when they can share these moments with the people they love.
This Grandparents Day weekend, make exciting plans that will bring joy to your grandparents and remind them that age is no barrier to having fun.
Play, Bond, and Make New Memories
One must-visit event is Ortigas Malls’ Playdate at Kidtopia, happening on September 13, 2026, at GH Mall’s 4/F Tech Hub and Estancia’s 3/F East Wing.
The special activity invites grandparents and kids to play games and take on challenges together, creating a fun and interactive bonding experience for the whole family.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Discover more grandparent-friendly activities at Ortigas Malls and make this year’s Grandparents Day weekend one to remember.
Exciting and Immersive Movie Experience
A good movie has a way of bringing people together. And the experience becomes even more meaningful when you can sit down afterward with your lolo and lola and talk about the story, favorite characters, and memorable scenes.
Ortigas Cinemas offers a selection of family-friendly films for viewers of different ages this weekend, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie.
Book your tickets, grab your favorite popcorn, and settle in for an immersive movie experience that the entire family can enjoy.
Located at 5/F GH Mall and 4/F East Wing, Estancia.
Gametime with the Kids
Arcades aren’t just for kids—adults can have just as much fun.
Bring your grandparents to Timezone and let them experience exciting games alongside their young apos. Challenge each other to basketball shooting games, bowling, simple puzzles, and other activities that can turn an ordinary family day into an unforgettable bonding experience.
You can even make it more exciting by collecting Timezone tickets from every game. Once your family has collected enough, your lolo and lola can choose a cool prize to take home.

Hearty Pizza for the Whole Fam
