At the marketplace, you can find a big, roofed straw playground that children love. There is also a regular playground with a sand box and playground equipment.
Café, shop, and plants for sale
Near the entrance to the Ecology Garden there is a café and a store. In the café you can purchase ice-cream as well as cold and hot beverage. During weekends and high season, you can also enjoy home baked bread and lunch dishes.
