Hi , we took our 3 year old granddaughter who absolutely loved it. I am not sure there would be enough to do for your older children. It was perfect for us as we stayed for two weeks in one of the beautiful apartments so had the use of the swimming pool each day and were able to visit other places in the area. There is an interesting tour of part of the castle and dungeons, a colourful water fountain display to music a bobsleigh ride etc. which are aimed at older children and adults and the gardens are lovely.

A:
This attraction is more aimed at toddlers for the amusement park - teenagers wouldn't be impressed to be honest. There did seem quite a few rides for the toddlers and parents were on the rides with them. Expect a long walk though to the amusement area and it is quite steep in places.
Q:
Is this suitable for a 12 y.o. Or is it more for younger children? Thanks
A:
There is stuff a 12 year old can enjoy but it's mainly for younger children really. The dungeon and maze in the lower level of the main building may be fun though.
