Ir David with kids: As I asked before if there is room to leave your stroller – yes, you can leave it in the yard, there were 5 or six strollers already. You Can’t do the tour with stroller! If you have baby or toddler, you have to use baby carrier, in the tunnels in fron carry. But it would be difficult, at some parts the water tunnel is 150cm hight and 70-80cm wide. The water is most of the time not higher than 20cm. Just in the beginning is deeper, like 70cm. My 4.5 yo walked all the way without any need for assistance. In the water tunnel you Need flashlight! There is no other light! You can buy one from souvenir shop there, 10₪ are smallest and cheapest, 25₪ are the bigger that you van clip it on your hat. Kids loved it!
