    Fantastic place to take curious children. The layout was very easy to follow and was very accessible. The toilets were perfect for children, great cafe onsite with delicious coffee. Only downside was that the gift shop was extremely overpriced. Definitely worth the drive.

    This is truly amazing place to take your little ones, my older son is 7,5 and he also enjoined it. There are spaces to dress up and to explore, play with colours and get the stimulation you need :) Worth the drive !
