This is a great place for children, as the animal interactions are plentiful.
The rides aren't particularly thrilling, and there are plenty of non-motorized attractions.
There's also a sand-digging and water-playing activity, which the kids will love.
The animal shows are a must-see for children.
There's also a camping area where you can relax when you're tired.
I took my 4-year-old here, and the overall experience was wonderful! First, the park is spacious and uncrowded. It wasn't crowded when we went, which is great for families with children. Whether you're looking at the animals or enjoying the rides, there were rarely long lines, saving you the hassle of crying and waiting.
In the animal park, you can see the more common animals, like alpacas, raccoons, squirrels, peacocks, parrots, wolves, and monkeys. Each animal has a description, and my child, while observing and asking questions, unknowingly learned about quite a few new animals, which was a pleasant surprise. However, a word of caution: don't mistake this for a professional zoo. The variety of animals isn't as vast as you might imagine, but the atmosphere is relaxed, allowing children to observe them up close without feeling overwhelmed.
As for the entertainment facilities, while it's certainly less extensive than a dedicated amusement park, it's more than enough for younger children: there are gentle rides like a carousel, a train, and a manual boat. Aside from a few rides due to height restrictions, my child tried everything and had a blast the whole time.
The staff were also incredibly welcoming, patiently answering questions about directions and park restrictions, leaving us feeling incredibly accommodating.
In short, this place is perfect for taking young children on a "slow stroll" on weekends: no rushing, no high expectations; just treat it as a leisurely park where you can connect with nature, learn about animals, and enjoy a few gentle activities along the way. It's actually quite enriching, and it's a relaxing time for parents and children.
