"We had an amazing time here. There were so much to do and experience it was well worth it. The views were incredible, the cavern tour was excellent and the staff were super friendly and helpful across the whole site. Plenty of places to sit and take in the view or grab something to eat. Lovely play areas for little ones and some wonderful walks to enjoy!"

"Amazing place with beautiful views! My 5 yo son was delighted with cable car ride and stunning views! Cave exploring was short and interesting, make sure you have a warm jacket on, could be wet and cold down there. There's a good playground with large slides. Café has breathtaking views! Highly recommended!"
