The fun factor
Happyland is a small amusement park with 14 different attractions. Most of them are suitable for smaller kids with no age or height limitations - including two cute carousels and giant swings our toddler loved.
Vehicle fans will have a blast. Our almost 4 year-old couldn't get enough of racing other kids on a small go-karts and driving around in a safari mini-jeep. If your kids are more into horses, there is also a Cherokee ride and if they prefer boats, the Sea star round inflatable boats.
For thrill seekers, there are also giant toboggans (slides). Slightly older kids (and adults) can also hit the Tropical Track mini-rollercoaster, the Nautical Jet flying boats (both suitable from 120 cm) or the Splash river fall (from 100 cm).
At specific times there are different 4D movies streaming in a simulator. We haven't tried it but it looked quite fun. To cool down in the shade, kids can try their fishing skills. There is also a small playground, if you need a break from the rides.
The food factor
There is one restaurant with a lot of ice creams, sweets, salads and fast-food options (no pasta though). There are also picnic places if you prefer to bring your own food.
The value factor
In 2023 the price for both adults and kids was 24.50€. Kids under 3 are free and dogs are not allowed.
There are only 14 attractions so unless you or your children are very much into any of the rides, I would not plan more than half a day. We spent about 3 hours there and it felt like the right amount of time.
