17th January 2025—What an exhilarating feeling!!! Even though the weather was a bit chilly and foggy (believe it or not), I had the most incredible experience, and it was worth every penny. The staff was very professional and engaging. I will be returning without a doubt to do this again and hopefully, I will have sunnier and warmer weather. |Thank you for a lovely experience.

Entry was fuss free and the theme park provided plenty of areas with aircon or shaded with huge fans. My toddler thoroughly enjoyed his time. Do take note if your child wants to take rides best if they are at least 90cm and above

Once in a lifetime experience and highly recommend. Didn't have to queue, as others have mentioned. 6 - 6.30 pm admission is ideal time to "prepare" for sunset. Surprised that the number of permitted visitors was quite low, which allowed room to comfortably walk around the 2 floors. Doubtful that paying extra to visit higher levels would make any difference to the experience.

The place is beautiful, but I would recommend visiting during a different season than summer. The heat can be quite intense, making it less enjoyable to explore. Spring or fall would be perfect for experiencing the scenery without the sweltering temperatures!
