My partner had not told me about the day and night cycle, s...

My kids age 4 and 8 loved it. I like that you can use the ticket for 99 days (I believe even 1 year if you buy something extra for 4.5€). I like that they added paw patrol and pokemon figures around the place for children to find. We will come back

There is a restaurant (although I didn't eat there), as well as a gif...
