This was so much fun

We could have stayed for longer but had a four hour turnaround. My 8 year old and 12 year old absolutely loved it. Loads to do and really unusual fun and imaginative creations. You will definitely get sprinkled with water?

How much time should 2 adults spend here? We will only reach the park at about 4pm next week (December 2015) and it closes at 6pm, so I'm wondering if it's worth a visit when we can only spend 2hours (or less) there?
