5.00Really enjoyable experience. The staff were so very friendly and welcoming. The family business has been passed down by generations and the young members were very happy and funny in a great atmosphere. The lanterns are so pretty and quite easy to make and the staff were always happy to help. Great fun to get out of the heat for 2-3 hours.
