Little ones would struggle climbing up as the foot holes to climb up are quite high. Also once standing on top hold your toddlers hand because the fencing is only two cable strung along. Another attraction here for history buffs would be the Subamarine Museum, daily between 10-430pm along with the various Submarine memorial things throughout the park.
