Colmar Tropical Fun! A Princess' Dream

At Colmar Tropical, a French-themed village, Princess Chelsea had her dream fulfilled. To her, it’s seeing a castle up close, the dream of every Princess-loving girl.

To adults, that place is a laid-back place for relaxing, with nothing much exciting, but if you look at that place from the eyes of a little one, it’s a place where imagination takes flight.

There’s a pond with swans, and the kids fed the swans for ages, definitely enjoying the process. And ages for them is defined as at least 2 hours. Well the normal adult might just take a couple of pictures and move on.

Then it’s off to time pretending that one is in a training to be fit enough to protect the village, air paint shooting.

Then it’s off to the Rabbit Farm, where Rabbits roamed. Princess Chelsea is very into animals, and would never get sick of feeding them.

The little ones also tried out Donkey Riding at the same area, and refused to leave when it’s time to go. This brought smiles to Prince Christian’s face. He’s not a very expressive person at times, thus the smiles were like treasures to Mummy Eliz.

Well, there’s also a playground there, and the kids are done with it in an hour, while most adults would just see and go.

Prince Christian loved Colmar Tropical, particularly the bathtub and the night performance, whereas Princess Chelsea loved the animals. And the room was a plus, a French-designed bed-room.

If you are a thrill-seeking adult, this place does not work for you, as once after 10pm or so, the shops close, and basically, there’s nothing one can do except chill out, and take a slow stroll around the place.

But for kids, where everyday is play-day, this is a perfect place. Not as commercialized as Genting, a more of a get-back-and-connect-with-nature-in-a-cool-environment experience.

Genting was a usual trip for us, the only difference was that as it’s Granny Agatha first trip out to a outdoor theme park, she tried out the roller coaster and the big-drop at the GRAND YOUNG AGE of 72 years old. So that’s a feat!
