Our 4yr old loved it!
It's a great place for the whole family. Our boy loved it so much we went back through a second time. It was school holidays yet it didn't feel claustrophobic or like you were bumping in to everyone. Lots of space to move around. The penguins were a hit but the highlight for us were the Huskies. They were well behaved and the talk was very informative. Our son wasn't tall enough yet so we missed the HÄGGLUNDS but will be going back when he is. We still enjoyed our morning without them The only improvement would be the 4D show needs a little more storyline and flow but apart from that 10/10.
