i have been a fan for four decades and finally, a dream come true!:)
it is quite possibly three decades too late, as this place is best enjoyed if you are ten and younger.
nonetheless a pilgrimage here is a must for all playmobil fans out there, young and not so young, especially since this year is playmobil's 40th anniversary!
happy anniversary, playmobil!!
a special shout out to hans beck too, thank you for your ingenious creation!!!
this is a very affordable summer's day out at €10.
covering the whole park in one day is quite easily done but a leisurely two days stroll will, more likely than not, double the fun.
not for the adrenaline junkies who love rides, stay away, as you will be bored to death here!
but for the hands on participation of each visitor who likes to be active and stay active.
you transport yourself, you create your own fun, the fun park facilitates.
the all weather HOB-center means fun continues rain or shine.
this place is a self-contained unit, performance stage, climbing garden, F&B options, a museum of sorts and lots and lots of playmobil toys in different themed areas for free play.
if you get past that initial 1500sqm of fun, another 90,000sqm of great outdoors themed areas awaits you.
the power paddler boats and farm house tractor course will probably present your biggest challenge with respect to queuing.
the balance course and adventure area requires a lot more adult supervision than others.
the wild west, empire castle, dinosaurs, pirate waters and stone quarry areas suspends reality and stimulates imagination.
plentiful places to get wet and dirty, if that floats your boat, your best bets are the water play area and the sand and mud play area.
and of course do remember to visit the shop, on your way out, to ogle at all the toys that you don't own and maybe add one or more pieces to your collection.
how i wish i can buy one of those life size playmobil characters!
but alas the largest available character for sale is around the height of my hands and they are limited edition pieces(1000) costing between €129-228.
perhaps, for now, i'll just continue to admire them from a distance.
p.s. do stay at the playmobil aparthotel, which is an easy walk away, for a complete packaged experience. read more
