“Brought my niece for a day out and met friends here, they had the best time playing together in the water!! Staff where friendly and in view at all times watching over the children and food was great too. All in all would recommend, worth every penny for the fun the kids had together. Such a great location as you can make a day out of it we went to the beach after. We will definitely be back again soon.”
