    Tb, vivement recommandé pour toute la famille tous niveaux et age. Occupe toute la journée, zone ombragée. C'est tres bien monté, pas mal de personnel jeune et dynamique. On peut tres bien accompagner sans payer d'entrée, et rester a cote. Zone pic nique a lombre, emmener le sien. Possible de remolir sa gourde. Tb tres bonne surprise. On peut y aller plusieurs fois, car très varié, pas le temps de tout faire en 1 journée

    Took our 2 and 4 year old today on the tree climbing. Not sure what the previous reviewer is on about but out children managed up to climb 6 and 7. We spent several hours there and they massively...
