Hi, my kids are 6 and 4 years. Will they be allowed for the folk dance? Charges would be same as students?
Also any special rates for travel agents?
Please let me know. Our dates of visit would be 14 June 2017.
Many thanks,

Dear Bhairavi,
Yes, children are also welcome at the Folk Shows. As there is no special child ticket, you can purchase student tickets for them, except if the kids are sitting in an adult’s lap (meaning they don’t require their own seats) – in this case they can come free of charge.

Also wanted to know if there were enough vegetarian options in the dinner menu at either restaurants. As mentioned, we are with kids, so which restaurant do you recommend?

Is this a show with both dance AND traditional music or only dance (maybe with vocal sing)?

October 9, 2018 at 7:52 am

Dear Matteo,
there are 30 dancers accompanied by 14 musicians on the Folk Shows, but I’m afraid there are no singers.

I would like to visit the famous folk dance show together with my family including two small kids who are at age 2.5 years and 6months respectively. Can small children attend this show?

Do I need to buy them tickets if they don’t occupy extra seats?

Kindly advise. Look forward to having your reply.

Thanks !
