    It is modern and interesting with amazing toppings like the 4d Show or the Taxi-ride. Totally different and suprising than nearly 25 years ago. Also the age doesn't matter - the whole family had an amazing time.

    Be sure to visit! It's great what's on offer here for the price. We were completely surprised, especially by the train ride and the creepy cellar. You should plan 2-3 hours.

    Amazing layouts for the statues! Good value for money on the ticket too, I could have easily sent another couple hours and the free qr code pics. You should put a disclaimer though saying you shouldn't go by yourself. Friendly strangers kindly took photos for me but there weren't that many setups for distance self pics.
