Review : “Starfish has a beautiful area and original slides. But we were with our sons, 5 and 9 years old. The eldest was not interested in the children's slides, and adults were only allowed on the slides from 11. This age range is clearly out of date here. The food in the cafe is delicious, I especially liked the pizza, but expensive: a small hot dog costs a hundred, beer costs 120 rubles per glass, which is not even 0.5. It’s good that you can drink beer right on the sun loungers by the pool; in other water parks it’s only allowed at the bar. A normal water park, you can go once. The youngest son was delighted. There, along with tickets to the water park, you can buy tickets to the dolphinarium, which is part of the Starfish entertainment complex; for purchasing both tickets they immediately give a discount of 50 rubles,” Andrey, Dolgoprudny
