  The place is nice and clean. But kids between 5 and seven years old might not have a lot of things to do due to heights regulations. They will not enjoy babies section and most of thrilling games needs 120 cm height and above.1cm less is a big issue for them. The worst thing about it is when you leave you will not find a taxi. We stayed there for an hour and then we went by a bus that we dont know where was it going. We made a very long trip from buses to metro and back home. Make sure you arrange your trip with a taxi to take you back before you go. Still its a nice experience for both you and your kids.
