This place is not Disneyland nor Great Adventure but rather a simple, staple of a theme park situated in Uruca, San Jose. Grounds & rides definitely have signs of aging, wear & tear, and are i need of updating; except for the new addition of the "Boomerang" and maybe one other but not a bad place to go for a... More

We had our son's b-party there and were extremely happy with the results. Firstable, they took care of the kiddie drinks, food, snacks, goodie bags, cake, piñata, everything. Secondable the guests got each a free pass for the whole day to all the attractions. The staff was EXTREMELY nice and polite, we were there the whole day and enjoy every... More

Not the easiest place to get to. The grounds are starting to show age and the upkeep is not the greatest. The events and the amusement park is ok.

A sized theme park for the amount of traffic they have coming through. The rides are pretty out-dated and are not very exciting. It is pretty much an oversized children's theme park. Teenagers/Adults will be bored easily and you can go on every ride in the park in 2 hours. The reason you can do this is becuase no one... More

This is a great place to see a folkloric performance, and buy a few gifts, but the original Tiquicia night is even better.

We had a great day here. I had a really good time. The water rides are really good (you will get wet so maybe leave these for later in the day). There were several other rides which kept us entertained for the morning anyway. Queues for the rollercoaster (and most other rides) went right down late afternoon, but queues were... More

Not worth going for food or souvenirs. It seems an abandoned place. You are better off going to the central market, and high streets, close to plaza del la cultura.

Is a good place to visit if you want to have a general idea of San José back in the old days. Although there is not much to do, is a quiet place among the busy "Parque de DIversiones"
