Cons:

  • "The lunch place in the park is offering just some simple burgers etc, and are not tasty."

  • "Nice park but couldn't do much, I bought tickets and it was far too busy and the kids could not get on anything. Tried to return the tickets and told no refunds, not happy and won't return due to lack of customer service."
