The place is huge and there are a lot of things for my little one to explore and play with - slides, train, dinosaurs, pretend play, light show, mirror maze. Highly recommended if you want to burn the little ones’ energy.

Clean environment & good location. Everything was well prepared. Cooling air conditioner. Just a little noisy if someone is talking at/ walking by the corridors.

It's worth the money, the facilities are all new. Except for the shower room, which needs to be improved. There are many areas for playing in the water and hot springs, and children can also play. It should be good during the day. You can bring your own swimming ring.
