Tips

The park is closed on Mondays (except public holidays), on weekdays immediately after a public holiday, and during the New Year period (December 28-January 3). Since it's an outdoor park, it's less fun on rainy days, so a sunny day is recommended. It mainly suits families with children from preschool through elementary school age, and buying the ride free pass also makes getting around the park part of the fun. Restrooms and parking are available.
