Overall rating

We were there with our 3 year old son. For the age is not much in most parks. It was different in WoW Park. My son loved the park and asked when we were going back when we left. The food was a bit expensive SuS my point of view. But it might also be due to Denmark. You can just take food with you.

Super informative and the phone app is handy and easy to use as well.
