This most important historical memorial makes for great pictures. The statues are very lifelike. Thank God for America! There is an icecream seller at the road and other small shops nearby. The Memorial is just down the road from the 10 month old Oriental Hotel in Palo, three or fouir kilkometres from Robinson's Tacloban mall.

When I went to Tacloban, I did not had the chance to visit this site so I told myself " I shall return"... and yes I did!

Even as a tourist spot, it's quite peaceful. There are not much stalls selling stuff, which is good. The place is right next to the sea, and it's very relaxing. You can bring along stuff for a picnic if you want. I just hope the local government could fix up the area with friendship plaques from all over the world,... More

A nice place to visit for the history, but not much going on or much to see. When we visit there where 2 tourists and 15 people selling ice-cream, pineapple etc... It is in need of some maintenance and ground keeping, so hope they do not let his great tribute deteriorate.

If you need a photo to show your friends at home that will encapsulate what Tacloban is, this is where you should take it. The view of the monument, accompanied by the bay behind it is simply breathtaking. I cannot even imagine how many people have captured this scene during sunset and sunrise as it is probably the best view... More

is worth while a look the walk up to the monument is good the serounds are very clean and tidy grass area good to sit and take in the serounds with a local little street stalls to have a bit of refreshments and eat

I thought they are just life sized figures but eventually they are more than meets the eye. Well kept park. Nice tourist spot.

The tallest statue is General MacArthur. You can stand right next to them and take pictures. Its only a few metres away from the beach.
