ParkFuntastic — Local services in Kepez

After driving an hour to get there, and looking for reviews and researching it online I took the family there for a day out. There were no price lists for any of the activities so you had to go to the main desk, the guy behind the desk was extremely rude and ignorant, and didn’t bother looking up from his phone the whole time we were there while he texted his mate and laughed! When we asked him what price the different activities were he just snapped back, “there all different prices!” We then booked 2 of the activities to start with which included the mountain coaster, and the play area for the kids which should have included the cars (as the guy told us - turns out it didn’t include the cars). After the mountain coaster they tried to charge us an additional £30 for 4 pictures they took! In the end we tried to find the lions at the park but gave up after wondering around for 30 minutes with the kids trying to find them! It was badly sign posted and there was no one to ask for directions. They also have different rates for tourists and locals where the tourists pay 4-5 times what the locals are charged. Wouldn’t bother...

TOTAL RIP-OFF!! Don't go there unless you are really bored and have no idea what else to do with your money! We went there through a local Tourism Agency who took us 290 EUR for 3 adults and 1 child (transportation included from Lara), but we were NOT told that we have to pay extra 💵 for the meat that you feed to the lions 🦁, (5 EUR for 5 little meat pieces). Also, we were NOT told that you are not allowed 🚫 to take pictures 📸 with your phone, no; you have a "professional photographer" with you that takes pictures for you and then they charge you 10 EUR per picture (digital picture!!, sent on WhatsApp). Then, you are invited to take pictures with a lion cub but hey! It's an extra 20 EUR per person!!! All they want is to take your 💰 money, nothing else. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this place full of thieves. We are EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED! The package included a free lunch, but we couldn't choose what we wanted to eat, we were given a meal with 0 nutritional value, chips (french fries), pasta and some pre-frozen "chicken" meat 🍖. I would never ever recommend this...

Another place in Turkey with 2 distinct prices. 1 for Turks and 1 for non Turks or foreigners (talk about making a tourist feel welcome!!). We asked locals what they paid and it was significantly less.

The man at the ticket booth for the rides, he said what do you expect, it’s what we do, foreigners pay a lot more it’s simple as. Infact he was shocked and taken aback as to why I was questioning this policy.

Also the lion Safari was daylight Robery of $50 where locals were paying $5. X10 increase.

However, found one amazing guy in the kids park at the end where the dodgems and bouncy castles are. This guy was an absolute true gem and said that he refused to follow the policy of charging foreigners more. He charged us exactly what locals paid.

To find a guy like that when everyone is charging more just because you are non Turk is like finding a true needle in a haystack. I told my whole family and my kids to...
