★★★★★
“My wife and I went because we love illuminations. We enjoyed it, and the little ones will surely love it too, judging by the joy on the faces of the dozens of children we passed. One small drawback, without taking away from the charm of the place: the maintenance team could fix a few minor imperfections. Still, I recommend it.”
★★★★★
“A really nice place, tickets are well priced for what you see – electricity does cost money these days. There is parking, easy access and toilets. Very positive!”
★★★★★
“A beautiful place for a walk in the dark, though I especially recommend a winter day when there is snow – the experience is out of this world. A great place for couples and families with children. Something for everyone. I will definitely be back.”
