We stumbled on this park after I picked up a flyer from somewhere in Boblingen; don't remember the…read morestore, but it's of little consequence to this review.
The park is about 1 hour north of Stuttgart and is definitely tucked away in the hills. You drive through several sleepy towns complete with hills and farmland, then you pop over a hill and you'll see the park on the right. The park is small compared to Legoland or Europa Park, but a little larger than Traumland. You can pay for your tickets with Euros or Visa/Mastercard (which is a nice surprise). If you are short on cash, you can use your Visa card and withdraw money from the ticket office (another nice surprise).
My overall impression of the park is that it's a little run down. This park was probably the happenin' park in the Stuttgart area 20 years ago, but it's a little neglected, and I suspect Tripsdrill and the other parks are pulling some of the business away. We were definitely the only American family there (that I saw), which leads me to believe this park isn't well known amongst the American families.
There are several rides that the young ones couldn't do, and they are a little strict on the heigh requirements, which I found a little odd for Germany. For example, I could convince the ride guy that my 5 year old was tall enough for the roller coaster, which had a 120cm height minimum (my son is 118 cm), however, the man tending the log ride wouldn't let us on (it was a pretty tame log ride). However, my 3-year old could ride the yellow raft ride, which was by far one of the fastest rides in the park (definitely the crown jewel of the park).
There are chimps and a tiger in the center of the park, which is a little jarring, especially if you aren't expecting to see wild animals in an amusement park.
The park restaurant was below average in my opinion, as there weren't a ton of options, and they didn't even have bread to go with the spaghetti. Much smaller Traumland had more options and better quality food.
Overall, decent park, but I'm not sure if we will be itching to go back here soon. Definitely glad we went, but we'll probably visit Trispdrill, Legoland, or Europa Park again before we come back here.
