Traveler reviews
Miro Tylka
★★★★★a year agoVery satisfied with this plate. I was with 16 months son and price for both was only 10 eur. For older kids it cost more. Place is very big I found it also clean and attraction in good conditions. Some of them really new and modern. Playground for kids bellow 3 years age was nice. Lot of place for seating and big restaurant. Worth to visit

★★★★★Edited a year agoKids love this place. It is well maintained. The food was good. The staff was friendly. More than enough parking spaces. They also have an outside fun, some slides, trampolines, swings. €5 for the parents, 2 to 18 years - €11. 1 trocken for the bump cars is 1€ or 3 for €2. I would recommend someone to control this area, children are impatient and the older would often push the younger.
