👨👩👧 If Visiting with Kids
The drone experience booth closes at 18:00,
so you can enjoy the activities in the afternoon
and stay for the evening performances.
Details and fees for the booth are not announced.
The drone show starts at 20:00
and lasts about 10 minutes,
so be sure to find your spot early.
Since it’s an evening event by the sea,
it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.
in case of bad weather.
If wind or rain is forecast,
check with the Tourism Division before you go.
