This family's experience:

Activities: We walked in the park, played at the playgrounds, admired the animals, and had food and drinks

Highlights: We really enjoyed our visit to Gruga Park and for us it was really a positive surprise as well! We expected a park where there would be a few playgrounds, but that it is so big and that there is so much to do for kids we absolutely did not expect ✨
