This park is kind of a Universal Studios knock off. At least that what it reminded me of. They are open seasonally and do change some attractions for Halloween and Christmas. But I mostly recommend going in the summer months when the weather in nice. I even had fun in the Country Western Photo booth... because why not?

For me this is one of the worst amusement park in Germany. If it wasn't for the kids I'd never come…read morehere. For what you get its quite expensive, 2 adults, 2 children will set you back around € 120-140 depending on how early you book the tickets. Fast pass is € 39 per person which you definitely need if it's packed. Else waiting time for the rides easily gets to 60 minutes. The rides in general are too old. Although they add new ones every now and then, they keep some from 20 years ago. In addition they're not exciting enough anymore for today's standards. The there those antique arcade games in the Wild West and you even have to pay for them, crazy. In general they charge money for many additional games. They have a good action stunt show but it shows only twice a day, ridiculous. The fast food here is bad and expensive, 3 x Pommes and 3 Softdrinks set you back € 20. There are no better choices in this area so a lot of people still come here. The next one would be the Phantasialand near Cologne.

Imagine you are training for tough mudder, or you just want to relive your childhood, or you are tired of mechanical rides, or you want to get some exercise in, this place has exactly what you are looking for: a wild magical land filled with constructions that require your physical strength and daredevil mentality to get through all the obstacle courses. The reward is great. The thrills are aplenty, and you know what, all those reading about European style playground, especially in Sweden, and Germany, is all true. The structures are one of the kind. Each game area is unseen before in America, and there is no "rides" per se, every single complicated, whimsical structure requires fearless attitude, intense physical strength and all the good things you learned from climbing trees as a kid. It's not just for kids, mind you, it's for aduits too. The entire place is situated in the woods, and no two structures are alike and they are all crazy looking. I climbed a few things, and went down the water slides a few times as well. I was really enjoying the trampoline but that zip line thing was too hard. The entire time I was thinking, why could't America build something like this? It's like from another universe. A world that imagination comes alive and we learn to be a kid who enjoyed physical activities and did things like an little adventurer would. In that regard, it makes the modern amusement park that cost over $100 a day, with a line out of the door, and kids did very little but waiting in line seemed so insufferable. A couple of logistical things to note: bring cash if you are not Germans. They did not even take my French mastercard debit card. You should drive here. It's about 1.5 hours away from Dusseldorf. It has a lot of shades so sunscreen is not absolutely necessary, so don't panic if you forget them. It closes at 6, but you can stay in the park until 7 in the summer. They are Germans so when it's 6:59 you'd better be out of the door. And finally, no fast passes any kind issued. Ketteler Hof is an amusement park of a completely different type of concept: no powerful high-tech attractions, no roller coasters and free fall towers, Ketteler Hof is jungle gym inside of a nature park called Hohe Mark. It is filled with one of kind German structures, it requires us to tap into the inner adventure selves and go forward without hesitation. We were all kids inside and we can be kids again, even kids!

I have been to this amusement park several times when I was a child/teenager. I always thought it…read morewas great fun, especially the bob slide and the Marienkäferbahn, a very light version of a roller coaster. My favorite is still, undoubtedly, the Wildwasserbahn/wild water slide/log flume. But beware: You will get quite wet. When I went there as an adult, the general feeling was: Boring. It wasn't very crowded, as we went during the week, but most of the rides seem to be aimed more at children and families. The wild water slide was still fun and I also enjoyed the Devil's Mine quite a lot. Prices range from 19,90 Euros for kids (Under 3 year-old are free) to 23 Euros for adults (24 in July and August). There are special offers for groups and yearly tickets for those planning to visit more often!

There is an entire section of race car ramps and the kids had a blast building and racing the cars. There's also a nice indoor playground, laser tag (will come back when the kids are older !) and a 4D LEGO film. Time limit is 3 hours, and I can totally see without that limit, people will never leave! Does feel pricey at 22 euros a person, but when it's a similar price for a zoo and kids enjoy it more, it's def good for a visit.

After a short film, and a brief explanation of how Legos are made (this is isn't rocket science folks, plastic pebbles are thermoformed to brick molds...) we found ourselves in a large room, full of Legos. That's it! in one corner there were a bunch of legos from the Friends line, in another corner the City line with make-your-own-cars, and yet another corner had the Ninjago line. My kids (4 and 6) were bored after one hour. We didn't dare touch the cafeteria food - defrozen hot-dogs and soda. A big miss!!
