Reviews
Highlights
My four-year-old loved the big climbing net so much that we went in twice.
There was so much to enjoy; my child was beyond happy and positively excited!
Drawbacks
Even an hour early, our chosen planetarium programme was sold out.
At a year and a half, my child could not climb the net independently at all.
