★★★★★5 months agoReally cool indoor ski and snow park for both kids and adults. I just passed by to explore the facility so I didn’t get to try skiing — you need to book an instructor and it depends on availability. The chairlift goes around the whole slope and park, which is a nice experience, and the temperature inside is perfectly chilly ❄️⛷️ Snowfall isn’t continuous and is only turned on at times to refill the area. Rental suits are warm enough and include gloves and boots, but I recommend bringing your own warm hat since it’s not provided. Staff were accommodating, and my package also came with hot chocolate — nice touch. ☕️❄️

★★★★★5 months agoWow, what a perfect experience! I came with a friend for a day of snowboarding. The entire staff was nice and welcoming. They welcomed us right away and helped us get our pre-ordered tickets and collect the equipment that was good enough for surfing. We only went in to surf, but there are many other attractions that are worth it for the family and children. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family.
