    Its ok but thats about it. From what I remember its expensive in (about €25 for family of four) and cafe is not cheap - they charged me for baby chinos which no where else does. Baby chinos are free in Greenacres and the Arts Centre etc

    Young kids will enjoy it as there are go karts and a bouncy castle but I wouldnt be in a rush back

    Cappuchino for a child, basically a small cup of foamed milk.

    Always preferred Kia-Ora in Gorey. Free spins in the fire engine, maze and slide, some unusual animals and they really pull the stops out at christmas.

    yea was in there only the just last week and was surprised at how expensive the whole thing was ... feels very celtic tiger 'walk out with empty pockets' kinda place. Got the feeling there has to be man better places than that ... sad really

    the quality of merchandise on sale was a pretty crud also.

    Secret Valley Open Farm in Clonroche is well worth a visit. We tend to go about once very 6 weeks, really cannot say enough about it. We bring a picnic with us, rain, hail or snow. If you google it, they have their own page. It really is fabulous, we spend the whole day up there. It's reasonable on the purse and my gang really love it:)
