Fantastic experience: 3 year old daughter goes and really enjoys it. Staff are friendly and welcoming and really support the kids have fun and learn the basics. Decent little cafe onsite as well. Limited parking so either turn up early or park further away. Viewing window gets very busy, you can sometimes view what's happening on the TV screen. Cafe is also very busy as well.
