    Beautiful place with lots of butterflies and a peaceful garden atmosphere. Very clean, well-organized, and great for photos. A relaxing stop and worth the visit.

    Would recommend to spend half a day here, start in the dry area with the world’s longest zip coaster! The queue was long so I recommend going there first. Once you’ve finished playing with all the activities in the dry adventure area, get changed into swim wear and explore the water park area. There’s a variety of water slides to suit all levels of excitement! It’s fun for a visit but I think going once is enough 👍

    Likes the view on TOP! It was very supervising in the Observation Bay and the 360 degree view. Our son likes the dinosaur park even though he was sleepy already. Next time if we come we will try to sit down and relax at the restaurant.

    Surprisingly, there's actually so much you could do here.It feels futuristic, sorta. Lots of impressive and highly enjoyable games. Though, kids will surely be more impressed by it.The place is also very educative. It's like an interactive (well, it is interactive) learning session, or a class dedicated for visual learners. Or even for science stream students!
