Traveler reviews
Younes Louqid
★★★★★3 years agoNice park and very pleasing to the eye. It is for older children. The largest castle is for children 6 years and older. And the children's area for 2 or 3 years. Pars middle age can be boring and need supervision to be in the big castle. Metal slides that make the legs stick together and do not slip well. Closed slides and adults have difficult access and visibility inside it. It has swings adapted to children with needs. Area for the little ones very acceptable. The animals made of materials are precious and make the park very happy. Enough green areas to take refuge. Various activity areas. Very easy parking. Mercadona nearby. 😜👍
