    My eight-year-olds loved it as much as I did! We have amazing photos, kids say it was the best part of vacation! Also an excellent break from the heat, and some fun puzzles and souvenirs in the gift shop!

    Great opportunity to get some good photos, staff couldn't be more helpful. Doesn't take too long to get around but it's certainly fun and quirky.
