MANILA -- Popular family attraction Fun Ranch has decided it will not reopen its doors after shutting them due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fun Ranch, which has branches in Ortigas, Alabang, and Pampanga, confirmed its permanent closure on Facebook this Thursday.

The announcement read: "We're sad, but it's time to go. A big THANK YOU for trusting us over the years!"

Party deposits made before the lockdown will be refunded, it added.

Fun Ranch closed in March along with other non-essential businesses to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

It was a kids' activity center popular for its attraction like its many kiddie rides and a huge indoor playground.

Its announcement came after another activity center, Jump Yard, the country's first trampoline park, also made its closure permanent.
