A Real Parent's Story
My son insisted there were ghosts in the tunnel
“The underground passage was pitch black. He whispered 'I'll protect you, mama.'”
Read full story
The underground tunnels are genuinely atmospheric. My 5-year-old grabbed my hand and whispered 'I'll protect you, mama' as we walked through. When we emerged into sunlight he was so proud. The empty bathing pools let your imagination run wild.
