Traveller reviews
We liked having the transport organized because leaving with tired kids would have been stressful otherwise.
We spent most of the day between the slides and wave pool. The kids didnt want to leave.
Full day means full day. Bring sunscreen, water shoes, and patience for the popular rides.
This was a proper full family day, and the kids were exhausted by the end. The older two spent most of their time on the bigger slides, while our youngest loved the themed areas and wave pool. Having the transfer from Side organised made a huge difference. It is not cheap inside the park, but the day itself was a big success.
A big day out, but worth it for families. Our children were asleep before we reached Side.
The evening lights near the shopping area were a nice bonus before we left.
