It's great that you can use it right after you buy it, but you need to go to the first floor to change the small white ticket and then go upstairs, which is quite convenient. There was an event on that day and parking was free, which was great. I would like to come again next time. It's convenient and fun.

I took my children to 77 for a visit during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. I didn't expect to encounter a small Dragon Boat Festival activity. I could make a DIY dragon boat game. The children were very happy.

Parking is free, tickets can be used as credits, and you can also do DIY, great! It's not big and you can finish the tour in about half a day. There are free guided tours available, the content of the explanations is good, the experience is not boring, and there are also interactive games (planting cocoa trees). The DIY activity on the day of the visit was making homemade donuts, and the children had a lot of fun. Incorporating SDGs into the tour is very educational. I also learned a lot of little-known facts during the visit. The key point is that the staff are very friendly and well-trained. It is a place that I highly recommend recently.

There is a large space inside with complete facilities. There is also a nursing room for small children. The equipment is novel, and it is combined with the Robot Festival, which allows children to experience different activities. The chocolates in the souvenir shop are also delicious, and the tickets can be used to offset consumption, which is very good!

The area is vast, and children can have a lot of fun in it. They can also learn about the history and production of chocolate. You can make an appointment in advance for handmade pastry courses on the official website. If you make an appointment in advance, you can get it at a 20% discount, which is great!

There is a ball pool in the restaurant and a lot of bread for sale. The underground parking lot is free. It is a perfect place for both adults and children.

I was quite excited when I first arrived. The space inside was very large and it was a self-service bar. The service staff was very enthusiastic, so I was very happy to have the opportunity to bring my family and friends to eat here again.
