Pink Sisters Church - very solemn place to reflect and pray
The Strawberry Farm - located in Benguet. Try harvesting fresh strawberries from the dirt. just watch out from tiny critters crawling in your strawberries!
B0tanical Park: l0tsa pine trees in here. Not to mention all th0se Igorots who are asking f0r a ph0tosho0t wit them f0r an extra bucks

But if your planning to go to the season of Panagbenga, I suggest to reserve a month before because man, I guarantee you, the whole Baguio City is flooded with people! Unless you might wanna try the grass in Burnham Park! :P
