Advantages: No entrance fee, indoor and outdoor activities, lots of choice Disadvantages: Expensive. Expensive. Did I mention it can be expensive?!

There were five of us in our party, two adults and three kids aged eleven, ... ...1.30m height for riding unsupervised on almost all rides, the seven year old reached the 1.30m limit when his hair was spiked up high so managed both the kiddie and bigger rides and the eleven year old was tall enough for everything. '''Initial Impressions''' This is a small and compact park. You can see from one end of the theme park to the other and walk the length of it in a few minutes. We visited on a cold day at the end of March so it was pretty ...
