“The activity was great , our guide Diana was great too , very informative and helpful. The only thing is that if it rains they close mostly all the activity’s except skiing. So if you plan on purchasing the one day ticket ahead of time to do the activities, check the weather forecast frequently and do it at own risk since the park does not do re-funds . Other than that the tour was great on time , helpful, and the Village itself is very nice especially at night with the lights on !”
