Traveler reviews
Javier Á. Nieto Moncó
★★★★★2 years agoGreat place to go with your kids so they can play in a safe environment themed like a big forest. They have slides, trampolines, and all kinds of fun things around. All the monitors there have been really attentive and made sure all the kids were OK and having fun. There is an area to sit down and have some food and drinks too. If you want you can even go watch a movie while your kid stays there playing. The price was not bad at all. Our kid loved it there and we will probably be back on our next trip.
