Traveler reviews
Marie Widerberg
★★★★★6 years agoAmazing and fun place for the kids. A whole mini world of things to learn and explore. The kids left this place full of new experiences. The staff is extremely friendly and good with kids, and they explain everything in English too. Our kids has English as a second language so their English isn’t perfect. But they had lots of fun and managed to learn many new things. Planning your visit, make sure you have enough time for your kids to enjoy this huge place. We stayed for 4 hours and didn’t even try half of the activities, and it was a really calm day with only a handful of visitors. Usually this place is filled with up to a thousand of excited kids and their parents.
