    欧乐堡欢乐梦幻世界虽然打着济南欧乐堡,但是人家是实实在在的在德州地界上!开园时间10点,结束时间5点,所以在游乐场里面整体算是短的了!迎宾活动都是一样不少,进门就可以根据喜好和儿童身高来选择游乐设施了,3-4年纪的小朋友大多数都能玩。如果喜欢水上项目的朋友可以自带一次性雨衣,园内售价10元一套。城堡内部还有一些碰碰车等项目,不怕天气不好随时可以玩。马戏团一定要看,很精彩的!!傍晚时刻,如果有机会的话一定坐最后一班小火车,大约半个小时的行程,能把欧乐堡的游乐场动物园等外围一圈跑完!!

    凝望繁华淡如梦凝望繁华淡如梦

    It was pretty good, fun to have some fun. The staff were very friendly, and police officers could get discounted tickets, saving 30 yuan. Overall, it was a good experience, and the shows were interesting. The park isn't very big, so renting a car isn't really necessary. There weren't many food options; it was all pre-made food, just something to eat.

    I’m eternally grateful that Trip.com sells entry tickets for Mt Tai and its immediate issuance cos I intend to enter Red Gate at 5am plus, and the app allow me to buy right on the spot without the usual “scan QR code” SOP at Chinese tourist spots without onsite staff support - very troublesome if you don’t have China phone number
