Bas
5.0

Great playground/amusement park for small children. We went there with our children, aged 5 and 7, and they were a joy to behold. Parking is available right outside the door, and you don't need a separate parking ticket. We found the staff to be very friendly.

Great place to have fun with kids up to about 12 years old. Fun attractions, but also regular play equipment where they can entertain themselves for hours! And last but not least, the coffee is good!

Bart
5.0

A nice mix of rides and play equipment. We had a lovely afternoon here. And the boys (8 & 4 years old) were mostly free to play. We only had to take the youngest one on an attraction every now and then. And that's when the child in us comes out again...

Erica
5.0

A super fun, clean park with playground equipment and attractions for younger children, and a large lake by the beach. Parents can enjoy a coffee at the picnic tables while the kids enjoy the well-organized park. Plenty of choices at the restaurant and snack bar. Friendly staff, very pleasant atmosphere. Free parking!

Kevin
5.0

Great amusement park, great value for money! It's geared more towards the little ones, with mini versions of popular attractions, but even a 13-year-old will have a great time. Clean, well-maintained, and well-organized. Besides various attractions, there's also plenty of play equipment for kids to enjoy, and a nice beach to cool off on.

A pleasant, well-organized park. Several areas with play equipment in the sand, suitable for children aged 1 to 8. Attractions for children aged 3 to 6.
