Joyful place for kids. We went in a group from a children organization in Gent. Although my 2-year-old 87cm kids is too afraid to play any movement equipment (she only played carousel, ball pool), it is her first time played these and she liked it. In the evening, she happily said "carousel" many times before she went to bed. However, no cheap items (like postcard) as a souvenir can be found here....

From 14:30 reduced ticket price, plenty of time to try out everything. Very good place to spend about 2-3 hours with a child. I’d recommend most attractions for 4+ age.

The staff is ver...
