Ventspils is famous for being family-friendly, and this park is a cool example. Interesting activities, a comfortable and large space, well-designed and maintained, it's just a serious effort to encourage active fun. I just wish my granddaughter lived nearby and could have a blast every day! Also, it's a short walk from other family-friendly attractions like an openair museum and the beach.

It was a very Unique castle with different exciting parts. in one of the part i learned about the History of old Latvia and also i learned that Latvia had a colony in the far past History. nice old decorative objects are also there to know more about Latvian taste. and the private Museum of old clothes was worth to visit.
