A local neighbourhood park. If you are not from the area you are not likely to know this park or be…read moreable to find it. It's hidden in between many residential buildings and relatively small. There is a huge kids play area area and one or two basketball courts. Dogs can run around here and tons of locals come here for walks with their pets. There is a school cafeteria that has outdoor seating facing the park for a snack or drink. I have seen it open many times I have walked past however, not entirely sure anyone can go in and buy food or drink. One of my favourite Bavarian restaurants Georgenhof is adjacent to this park. Not a bad little park to hang out in and bring your pets for a walk. If you have children you will like the kids play area here.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise…read more This place isn't much to look at, but we had a terrific experience with a two year old and a four year old. The park consists of mostly three types of attractions: smaller scale theme park rides, playground type structures and animatronic storytelling scenes. So much to share, so I'm just going to bullet point it, otherwise I'm going to go off on tangents everywhere: - we went on a Wednesday morning/afternoon and it was nearly empty. Probably 30-40 people max, including the kids. We kept running into the same people all over the park. - the cafe closes early, around 2-3, so eat early. - entrance closes at 4, but you can stay later, though I'm not sure how much later. - may be different when the park is busier, but not all of the rides are constantly running. There will be posted signs of when the next ride is scheduled. For instance, the next roller coaster ride may be at 2:15, while the next time you can ride the train is 2:30. - again, this may only be on slower days, but the staff is pretty small. So, the guy who runs the train, may also be responsible for the teacup ride. It's pretty funny. He'll run the train for 10-15 minutes, then you'll see him shut up shop on that ride, then head over to operate the next ride. - some of the rides are do-it-yourself. You hop on, strap yourself in (if necessary), then press the start button. This includes some pretty elaborate rides that flip you upside down and swing you back and forth pretty wildly. Sadly, this could never work in the US, because too many people would feign injury and sue the park. When we first walked in and I saw a playground to my left, i had my doubts. But turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend. Definitely worth the 12-13 euros.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. My husband was insistent we check this attraction out and…read moreour group was like "ok whatever". Once we got inside and found a good vantage point, I could have stayed all day. What could be more fun than watching people rush to get on a platform that then spins them off into a wall. The last one left wins but if they are too good, the staff will throw medicine balls at them or try to snare them with ropes to dislodge them. Coming from the US where everyone sues everyone, it was crazy to see no waivers, not much in the way of safety... Anyway, I can't think of anything more fun than watching a pile of 8 year olds get spin off into a wall while the DJ blasts "Macarena".

The pool itself is very nice but not exactly what I was expecting. They have only three lanes marked for "sports swimmers", ie people who want to swim laps. Actually three lanes is supposedly a lot for Germany although it's pretty surprising to an American swimmer. Thus, it gets a bit crowded in the lanes during the summer, around noon and after work. Early mornings and 1pm are good times to go to get the pool more to yourself. They also do not have flags for backstrokers and their lane lines aren't colored so as to indicate where the wall is. They also have a sauna and a great diving pool, although I haven't tried either. The hours are very generous, to accommodate any schedule and they have a swim shop in the building in case you forget anything.
