Free parking right outside of the facilities. Expect to get wet. Wear shorts if possible. Some local kids just wear swimsuit straightaway. not a very huge place but can play for quite a while. Can top up on site to get the interactive ring.

It was an amazing experience, we had so much fun discovering all the rooms that we did them all twice! There's a few places to take instagrammable pictures and also more specifically for the kids. There wasn't a lot of people (on a friday afternoon) which was very enjoyable. They give you special slippers you have to wear inside and parking was easy as it's the stadium's parking! Overall, I totally recommend.

It's definitely worth going, the whole experience is both surprising and delightful. There aren't many people here on weekdays, so I took a lot of photos. But the location is a bit far, it would be better for a slag car, there are many parking spaces

Andy was extremely patient and a fantastic helper. I encountered an issue with my wallet, and he assisted me in retrieving it. Although the day wasn't ideal, we managed to complete the tour in a timely manner.
