It has a large playground—ideal for children up to 12—and a small train circling the park. It's a good place to be and spend nothing, just have picknick too.

A warehouse where they serve two specialities: steaks and pizza. Both are to die for. There is plenty of room for children to run around. The food is very honest, fresh and nutritious.
