Q: What
if I want to bring my own food?
A: In general we practice "No outside food policy".
You may bring outside food by paying surcharge. This surcharge
applied per person (both the kids & adults). Seating
for the kids may be provided in the party or the cafe area
depending on the availablity. Parents are provided seating
in the cafe area. We reserve you a table and whoever joins
you is considered your guest.
Q: What's
better? Paying entry price and surcharge for BYO; or party
package price and surcharge for BYO?
A: BYO surcharge with entry price suits to those who along
with their guests just walked-in without booking a
party. There surcharge is relatively less but their entry
permission depends on the available vacancies, also there
is no guarantee of providing them adequate seating.
BYO surcharge with the party package price applies to those
who book a party and still want to bring their own food. It
secures your entry, the day and the time of the party, and
also maximum possible seatings for parents. (Also see
"Cafe" below for details)

twenty to twenty five minutes. Then, for the remainder of
the two hour session, the children play in the play area.

What's better for me? A publis session

coming with children. Normally more guest parents stay if

adults with a fewer number of children, booking an exclusive
session would be a good choice so that all of your guests
can have seats.
