Incredible place

"This place is INCREDIBLE. Not only has great shows during holidays but also the only place I know where you can take the kids somewhere decent to play while you sit at the restaurant and have beautiful food while you watch. You can also order takeaways from the kitchen. It is seriously amazing"

Fantastic entertainment

"Great playground. Excellent play which didn't frighten the little ones but held the older children's attention. Scenery, production, audience participation, length of play, direction, etc. all excellent."

Great playground and restaurant

"Went here today with my family and loved everything about the place! I was looking forward to seeing the crocheted net and it didn’t disappoint. Plenty of other features in the playground that kept my 3 years old busy. I also loved the vibe of the restaurant! The manager in charge was very attentive."

Great outdoor play area

"The play area would suit 4-10-year-olds best I would say. The restaurant looked really nice but we didn't eat there, and the show didn't seem like it would suit a 2-year-old either. We would return, but perhaps when our son is a little older and could enjoy the show and the entire playground."
