 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an amazing day out that keeps the kids occupied for hours. We were in the older kids section for nearly five hours and it was hard work getting them to leave. There were activities wide range of activities covering all age groups and the shows were fantastic, particularly the robot dog with Mars. The food was also very good in the cafe.
