★★★★★2 years agoBeing roller coaster enthusiasts, we just popped in to ride the Indina Jones ride. €3 per person, as was quiet, we got 7 laps! Park is open in the evenings from 6.30pm. The small train is for children only!

★★★★★5 years agoNice place , and the only one that actually has things for little ones. The gentleman at the tall wheel and the fast train is a great guy and very helpful. I will go again . Highly recommended for parents with little children.
