Pleasant, but too bad that we have to validate the voucher at the reception, hence waste of time, why not a qr code on the order confirmation? And I don't know why I have the English version?
Great family day out

Great day out for all the family. Be aware though, this is a voucher not a ticket, you still need to go to the ticket window to collect your tickets upon presentation of the voucher
Hard to orientate

While it was interesting to see some of the species, Nausicaa was too crowded, warm and mostly really hard to orientate in. We could not find the most interesting expo easily, all the people waited in line for one restroom while there were more and it was not easily accessible with strollers or wheelchairs.
