Excellent value for money. The food is good and the view is even better. But the entrance is a little hard to find. The welcome counter downstairs is not big, and you have to go through security to take the elevator.

Very convenient redemption and great that we had access to the lower gate zoo entry as well. The size of the zoo was just nice.
