Been using this location for years and I always recommend it. Very professional and organized team. Just one small thing: when I asked for 2 lollipops for my kids, I got a lecture I wasn't expecting. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. Will still be back.

I had a great conversation with the penguin. It was kind and courtesy.
