Donovalkovo - hlavné mesto detí — Attraction in Donovaly

We loved our visit in Donovalkovo , especially our little boy. The ladies by the animals and the staff inside the park were all lovely and nice.

What is shocking though , we left the park at 5:40 pm and on the way out I needed to use the lavatory. The close at 6 pm. However the toilet was locked. I asked if I could use it, I only got an answer CLOSED without even looking at me.

My wife who is slovak and was waiting by the car decided to go in and ask what time they close. They told her 6 pm. She asked why her husband couldn't use the loo at 5:40 then. The ladies said the owner asked to close everything 15 min earlier. My wife said it was 20 min before the closing time that I was there though. They did not have any answer to that.

I wanted to highlight that as it leaves a sour taste after spending beautiful few hours there.

If the place is open till 6 pm, customers should be able to use it till 5:55 pm at least. We had few hours drive ahead of us, not everyone stays there overnight.

Other than that we fully...

Dnes sme boli na akcii Frozen Day. Bola to zaroven nasa prva navsteva Donovalkova a nikdy viac. Na internete som si precitala, ze deti v kostyme maju vstup zadarmo, tak som malej zohnala satocky s danou tematikou - nebola som jej ochotna kupit klasick kostym Elzy, kedze som nechcela, aby sa uvarila v dlhych satach a rukavoch (vonku bolo 30 stupnov). Hned pri vstupe ma prefackalo, pan za pokladnou sa na nu pozrel jednym okom - "To nie je kostym princeznej, to su iba saty. Platite plne vstupne." Dcerka nestastna, ze nie je princezna - v zariadeni takehoto typu by som ocakavala trosku prijemnejsie jednanie s detmi. Druha facka prisla, ked pan povedal, ze platime 30e, tak mu hovorime, ze my s manzelom sme len doprovod a dcerka ma 3 roky, ze sme sa asi nepochopili, no nie. Cena bola 10e na hlavu bez ohladu na vek... Tak reku, kasleme nato, malej sa to bude pacit, budu tam princezne, rozne aktivity pre deti... Vosli sme dnu a sli sme hladat tie "atrakcie". A viete co sme nasli? Velke ... V areali milion ludi, domceky preplnene detmi, hracky porozhadzovane, v domcekoch sa nedalo dychat. Za auticko si doplatite dalsich 5e za 10 min, za dodatocny poplatok je aj zoo alebo pozicanie bicykla. Animacia absolutne ziadna, v celom areali sa pohybovala jedna Anna (ktora zaroven malovala na tvar), jedna Elza (ktora stala cely cas pri vstupe) a jeden Olaf (ktory sa s "nadsenim" vozil s detmi po areali na kolobezkach - zrejme dopravna vychova). Jedine, co bolo v areali zadarmo bolo malovanie na tvar, kde sedela jedna slecna (dve, ak tam prave bola Anna), no ku nej viedol asi 20 minutovy rad.

Toalety su uplne mimo areal, a ked si dieta spomenie, ze potrebuje ist, tak s nim musite ist az do bufetu, kde najdete 2 toalety. Takze opat cakate, lebo su preplnene. Ked sa tam konecne dostanete, tak zistite, ze doska je napol urvana. Fajn. Chcete si potom umyt ruky a zistite, ze vodu cerpaju asi priamo z ladovca, co je taka studena.

Restauraciu komentovat nemozem, lebo sme tam ani nesli jest. Stacilo mi, co som videla na tanieroch u ostatnych ludi.

Nie som ziadny drzgros, v Tatranskej Lomnici je detska herna, a tam je vstup na hodinu 9e za dieta a kazdy dospely je za 1e!!! Hned ako tam vstupite, ujme sa vas animator a vy chodite po tych atrakciach spolu s dietatom. Je to 100krat zabavnejsie.

Myslienka Donovalkova je velmi pekna, ale preco nasa slovenska mentalita stoji na prinipe "sme unikatni, tak vytrieskajme z ludi co najviac penazi???" Jednoducho, (ne)pomer cena - vykon tu priam bije do oci a pre mna to bolo jedno velke sklamanie.

EDIT (reakcia na odpoved vlastníka): Dakujem za poucenie o vychovnych metodach.

Nakolko nasa dcerka mala saty, elzovsky vrkoc a normalnu korunku, ziadnu papierovu, usudujem, ze ste si nas s niekym splietli, no zaroven mi z toho vyplyva, ze sme asi neboli jedini navstevnici, ktori boli pohorseni vasim posudzovanim kostymov.

Do DONOVALKOVA ste nas milostivo vpustili - no az po zaplatenie plneho vstupneho - takze ako vidite, sli sme dcerke prikladom a neorbili sme sceny tam, kde by to aj tak nemalo...

After traveling across Slovakia for a while now, I must say this country is the best place to raise your kids. This place in particular is like no other place I've seen. I can only characterize it as a city built for kids. With roads and traffic lights, cars to rent and drive or a remote controlled car for the smallest ones, all kinds of buildings kid-size, from banks, to police and post stations, to delis, ice cream stores and pizza places. A castle, a car wash, and the lost goes on. All surrounded by the most beautiful mountains, sky resorts and to top it all, llamas, ponies and many other farm animals. I am amazed of this place, bravo Slovakia ! (Slovakia...
