Fantasy World was an Unfinished theme park located in Lemery, Batangas. The location was so ideal for medieval inspired theme wherein a castle sits atop a hill that overlooks greenland pastures and ridges. It was built with colorful walls which perfectly blend to the surrounding greenery. The stalwart structure seems to transport you back in the middle ages, it was definitely grand and could have been the Disneyland of the Philippines. But due to bankruptcy and lack of funds, the construction was halted, and to this day it still remained a Fantasy.
The once colorful facade are slowly fading. Interior paint are slowly peeling from the walls of its unfinished rooms. The rides which were never used, lays dormant to this day with no hope of moving even it's first journey.
Eventhough the themed park never became operational, one can still enjoy explore and take pictures inside the whole place. Over the years, it has also become a favorite shooting place for TV shows like Majika (GMA7) and movies like Got to Believe and Fantastica.

1. From LRT-Buendia ride a bus bound for Nasugbu. Tell the conductor to drop you off at the “Boundary.” It refers to the Cavite-Batangas boundary.
2. At the boundary, ride a jeepney bound for Lemery and tell the driver to drop you off in front of Fantasy World. If there are no jeepneys, you can take a tricycle.
