    Beautiful place for pre river cruise or post River cruise. Very clean and fun for all ages. Very walkable.

  • Balkrishna Shroff

    ★★★★★10 months ago

    During our city sightseeing bus tour, we stopped here for some time. The location was great right on the banks of Rhine River. The park was quite big and it was maintained very well. We were told that it’s open 24 hours and pets are allowed.
