This is my second time visiting the park. The experience was just as wonderful, but this time I was able to enjoy it even more because it was in March and the park wasn't very crowded. The lines were short, and I was able to visit almost 11 rides—everything was absolutely beautiful. It was a blast!

Everything was great—the punctuality, the communication. I think they really took care of every detail. Honestly, I think coming to Paris and being able to buy tickets so easily is a huge plus because there are so many people. I think the timing was perfect, and it made it much easier to see the Mona Lisa without having to deal with such huge crowds. I highly recommend it.

It’s definitely an experience you have to try at least once in your life. The weather wasn’t great, but the gardens are spectacular. My only complaint is that I didn’t receive my tickets until less than an hour before my appointment, which left me feeling a bit rushed.

The welcome was wonderful and the people were kind and understanding. The food was very good. But we paid for a view table and had another table between us and the windows. It is pretty jammed in there. Defintely not romantic or dressy, but wonderful for a family who likes good food and doesn't mind the price for access.
