It is soooo amazing, all the thermal activity but the smell sometimes is a bit strong. Try see past it to the beauty of the area, and how amazing our world is.

The city is nice, but smells horrible. Most beautiful flowers in the garden. I was surprised with the steam coming out of the ground.

Fun area with a lot of black swans near the lake. Worth a look around.

A nicely spread thermal garden, with several sulphurous thermal pools which were very smelly - very good for a free attraction.

A nice way to spend a few hours. Free entry. Park well maintained and you can view thermal activity without having to go to one of the commerical enterprises.

Exceeds expectations. You walk in a park and see volcanic wonders everywhere. Layout and design of the park is amazing.

10/10 for value for money as it doesn't cost a thing! Not quite as impressive as the commercial thermal attractions but all the same there are bubling mud pools that are worth seeing.
