Traveler reviews
Martin Landman
★★★★★8 months agoThis was amazing for the kids, interactive and got to take there work home! My wife and I may have had a bit more fun than the kids. Unfortunately the other rooms was full for weeks ahead.

★★★★★6 months agoNice place for kids. For the Ocean department I would advise age 0-3/4. At 5 it is already slightly boring or cone with your friends to have some role play, cos there are mostly babies there. The atmosphere is amazing though. We need to try some more age appropriate activities there though 💖
