Кафе Шале, жаль не отмечены в инсте И кухня хорошая и обслуживание приятное. Принесли в том порядке что просили. Еще и уведомили через сколько будет готово основное блюдо. Для мест с большим количеством людей приятный бонус.

Диво-остров - это действительно диво! Территория украшена самыми разнообразными прекрасными растениями, скульптурами, множеством скамеек. Фонтаны, цветы, дорожки радуют глаз! Аттракционы нравятся детям, хоть они и дорогие. Интересно, что отменена плата за вход, но замечательная детская площадка и туалеты остались бесплатными! Людей много, но поскольку у всех хорошее настроение, никто никому не мешает. ОЧЕНЬ ПЛОХО ДЛЯ МАЛЕНЬКИХ ДЕТЕЙ ТО, ЧТО ОТКРЫВАЕТСЯ ПАРК В 11 ЧАСОВ! А в 13 уже дневной сон (у кого есть режим дня). Нельзя так не уважать малышей!
