I was surprised by how quickly we were able to get into the Sunny attraction even though the place was very crowded. The London Eye was truly impressive, with its spectacular views and high-quality facilities. It’s worth going up both during the day and at night.

A very special and beautiful experience. The tickets were very easy and accessible. We didn’t have to wait long. At the scheduled time we went in, and in less than 10 minutes we were already up on the London Eye. Incredible.” 🎡✨

I was most impressed by the Colour in Motion Room. It was fun to watch kids and grown- ups interact with the floor... The music plays a crucial role in the experience of all rooms, plus noises, but that makes it vulnerable to distracting sounds like loud chatting or parents unable to restrict the volume of their discussions with their moaning children. Maybe signs to ask people for more silence? Or recommendations for the child-friendly sections?

Would recommend. The lounge had a calm, professional feel to it. Staff were efficient and polite. Food options were above average for an airport.
