As far as amusement parks go, this one its pretty good one. All the rides and rollercoasters included in the price. Planty of food outlets within the site and delicious ice cream. The only thing is that you have to allow the whole day if you want to experience and enjoy all it has to offer and this at affordable prices. Keep up the good work. People have been locked up indoors far too long and its time to go out there and enjoy it. 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved the bowling on a Sunday night at 9pm, it was quiet, we could relax, chat and there was no rush! 2 games and a lot of fun!. The place was well maintained, the arcade seen through the glass on the right makes a great, lively atmosphere! There is a dining area, a bar and a few pool tables too. This Is the lower half of the pier. Would definitely go again!
