Amazing Junior zone for under 7's. 2 hours is the perfect time to keep them active and interested with the vast amount of things to do, including some outdoor activities. Busy but enough room for all with plenty of options to never have to queue.

Activities are good and interesting. A bit expensive for what you get in my opinion in comparison to other attractions that are in and around the same price. Cafe is a bit expensive. Tea and cake for 3 was around €26. It wasn't busy at the time, but there was a build up of tables that were not being cleared or food not swept off the floor. When I saw a table being "cleaned" the girl wiping it down had left parts unwiped. Had a teenager with us who enjoyed the activities, and I think is suited to all age groups.

What a brilliant day out for all the family. Interactive, informative and professionally managed. Good food offerings for families too and the coffee was great for adults needing some energy 😂. The kids in our group ranged from 4 to 17 and it was enjoyed by all.
