Photo Spot – Get in the spirit! Grab an authentic lightsaber, maybe even a helmet and a robe, stand in front of an awesome background and take a cool Star Wars themed photo, alone, with your friends or with our costumed characters!

In exchange for a donation for “Caps for the future”, a well-known Bulgarian charity, you get to shoot foam darts at Imperial characters.
