Here's a side trip in Tagaytay you might find interesting. The Puzzle Mansion located in Cuadra St. Barangay Asisan. This place is home to a lot of kinds of puzzles and the owner Gina Lacuna got the world record for largest jigsaw collection last November 2012. The collection consists of 1,028 puzzles (and probably counting).
If you're taking the public Transport, ask the driver of the bus bound Tagaytay/Nasugbu to drop you off in Maglabe Drive. Then from there, you can take the tricycles to the place. By the way, if you have a big group, you can call them for their shuttle service instead. I'm just not sure how much it is.
There is an entrance fee of PhP 100 for the museum (honestly, I think the entrance is a little too much) . The collection is located in the ground floor and the biggest jigsaw puzzle in the collection is in the second floor, near the photo booth and souvenir shop.
How to get there
If by car, from the rotonda, take Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway and just drive straight ahead. You need to passed by Sky Ranch and Mushroom Burger. After Bag of Beans, look out for Maglabe Drive. Turn right there and the road will take you to the place.If you're taking the public Transport, ask the driver of the bus bound Tagaytay/Nasugbu to drop you off in Maglabe Drive.
