Wow, what a pleasant surprise…read more
This place isn't much to look at, but we had a terrific experience with a two year old and a four year old.
The park consists of mostly three types of attractions: smaller scale theme park rides, playground type structures and animatronic storytelling scenes.
So much to share, so I'm just going to bullet point it, otherwise I'm going to go off on tangents everywhere:
- we went on a Wednesday morning/afternoon and it was nearly empty. Probably 30-40 people max, including the kids. We kept running into the same people all over the park.
- the cafe closes early, around 2-3, so eat early.
- entrance closes at 4, but you can stay later, though I'm not sure how much later.
- may be different when the park is busier, but not all of the rides are constantly running. There will be posted signs of when the next ride is scheduled. For instance, the next roller coaster ride may be at 2:15, while the next time you can ride the train is 2:30.
- again, this may only be on slower days, but the staff is pretty small. So, the guy who runs the train, may also be responsible for the teacup ride. It's pretty funny. He'll run the train for 10-15 minutes, then you'll see him shut up shop on that ride, then head over to operate the next ride.
- some of the rides are do-it-yourself. You hop on, strap yourself in (if necessary), then press the start button. This includes some pretty elaborate rides that flip you upside down and swing you back and forth pretty wildly. Sadly, this could never work in the US, because too many people would feign injury and sue the park.
When we first walked in and I saw a playground to my left, i had my doubts. But turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend. Definitely worth the 12-13 euros.
