Traveler reviews
Bogdan Andrei
★★★★★7 years agoVisited in the beginning of September and I have a good experience, and the pool is perfect to spend a day with kids.

★★★★★a year agoWe love the water park here. To ensure we have a shaded spot, we buy the 25€ lawn chairs that have a spot by the snack bar (waiter service) and include a box where you can lock your things up (bring a lock). It’s got shaded umbrellas on that chair too. The kids love the water areas and slides. There are restrooms (bring those flip flops). Good and drinks are reasonably priced. You can bring your own food and drink, just no coolers, glass or cans (plastic only). The fee for kids to get in is less than 2€ and for adults less than 3€. It’s a bargain and a beautiful place to spend a hot day.
