Amazing atmosphere, kind staff, incredible fans and we got to see the boys win! I would thoroughly recommend visiting to see Leverkusen at home, they’re well worth seeing.

Aqualand in Klon is a fantastic waterpark, especially for families with children. It offers a wide range of attractions and activities suitable for all ages, ensuring a full day of fun and excitement. The park is well-maintained, clean, and organized, with friendly staff and good safety measures in place. Weekends tend to be busier and slightly more expensive, but the lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience. The on-site restaurants serve a nice variety of food and drinks, catering to different tastes. Parking is convenient with plenty of space, though visitors may face short waits at the entrance during peak hours. Overall, it’s a great destination for a refreshing and enjoyable day out.

We had really great time here with kids. The museum is good bus access from train station. In the museum we will receive a headset, you can hear very detailed information in each items. You need extra few euros to visit the tower, its few minutes walking distance from the museum building, it’s worth to visit too. Play ground for kids also a high light! We spent 5-6 hours in total there! Worth to come again :)

The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site is truly a unique place to visit. It is calm, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering wide open spaces perfect for walking or jogging. The mix of industrial history and modern culture makes it both inspiring and relaxing. Whether you want to enjoy peaceful strolls, explore its fascinating architecture, or simply unwind in a serene atmosphere, Zollverein is a must-see destination that combines heritage with tranquility.

⭐To avoid being shut out after driving over, or like us, after a long transit and much walking, check the kalendar on Villa Hügel’s own website. 🍉Click into the individual dates. The opening hours are quite irregular. ⭐Wear comfortable shoes. Much walking and much standing around to read the history on the wall made my legs leaden. In a rewarding way, sure. But very much exhausted:-) ⭐No sit-down indoor cafe on the premise. Just an outdoor food trailer. This made our visit even more physically challenging. I would’ve been okay with the trailer food and sitting outside on a bench to eat. But neither trailor food nor sitting in the chill wind was my mother-in-law’s idea of relaxation. So we stayed as long as we physically could and left for bio fuel. ⭐The place is stunning. The opulence starts only when you step in. The exterior is quite pared down. Geometry, woodwork and visual illusions make the spaces interesting. The usual symbolism of western civilizations is everywhere. ⭐Appreciation of the historic value of architectural and textual archive is not endorsement of everything the Krupp family did. Just so we are clear.

A well maintained and beautiful public museum. Apart from the permanent exhibition, there was also "Frau in blau" temporary exhibition. The highlight is Van Gogh's paintings kept in the permanent exhibition.

A Day Full of Fun at Ketteler Hof GmbH Our recent visit to Ketteler Hof GmbH was nothing short of fantastic! This amusement park is a paradise for families and friends looking for a day filled with excitement and enjoyment. From the moment we entered the park, we were greeted by a variety of attractions suitable for all age groups. The park is beautifully laid out, making it easy to navigate through the different zones, each packed with unique activities and rides. For kids, the park offers a magical experience with numerous playful areas, imaginative rides, and interactive games that are both safe and thrilling. Adults aren't left out either. There are adventurous rides that amp up the adrenaline alongside more relaxed options for those who prefer a laid-back day. One of the highlights of our visit was the grill area. It's a perfect spot for a family picnic or a friendly gathering. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and it provided a lovely break between the excitement of the rides and activities. The staff at Ketteler Hof GmbH deserves a special mention too. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that our visit was smooth and enjoyable. The park was clean, well organized, and felt very safe, which added to our peace of mind as we let the kids explore freely. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just looking to spend some quality time with loved ones, Ketteler Hof GmbH offers a perfect mix of fun and relaxation. We left with great memories and look forward to our next visit! Rating: ★★★★★ - Highly recommend for a fantastic family outing!

Free entry to the gorgeous park grounds surrounding the 18th century palace. From highly manicured French gardens to a naturalistic English garden, from shaded paths along wilderness to a decent-sized playground, this place has something for all ages. It will give you the illusion of being on the set of historical shows or movies. The café is worth a visit. Just the view is worth every penny. I consider the drink and housemade cake a free throw-in.

I love this place. Each time I visited Düsseldorf, I was there too. It is paradise of car enthusiasts. If you love car as me. Do not miss this place. It is one the best place to buy classic or sport cars.

We were a group of five visiting Movie Park Germany on a public holiday, and we arrived around noon. Before entering, there was a thorough security check, which I found very reassuring—it made me feel safe throughout the entire day in the park. Inside, you can find a variety of restaurants, snack stands, and sweet stalls offering treats such as crêpes, churros, gummy bears, fries, and pizza slices. There are also plenty of restrooms located conveniently around the park. Movie Park Germany is a fantastic destination for families with young children, but also for groups of friends or adults looking for excitement. The park features several roller coasters, ranging from family-friendly rides to adrenaline-filled thrill rides like Star Trek: Operation Enterprise, which even launches you backward, and Van Helsing’s Factory, a dark ride coaster with sharp turns. The safety measures on all attractions are excellent, and staff are very attentive. Since we visited during the Halloween Horror Festival, we booked two of the horror houses: The Hell House and Blood Moon: The Trailer House. Both experiences were intense, immersive, and absolutely worth the extra cost. The Halloween theming across the park was very detailed and atmospheric, with actors, decorations, and special effects adding to the experience. The only downside was that the groups in the horror houses were admitted too close together, which sometimes broke the illusion and caused a bit of crowding inside. One thing to note is the parking situation: there is no payment machine directly in the parking lot. You need to purchase your parking ticket inside the park before returning to your car. As the distance between the parking area and the park entrance is not very short, it’s definitely easier to buy the ticket in advance before heading back. Overall, Movie Park Germany is a great choice for a fun day out, whether you love thrill rides, entertaining shows, or seasonal events like Halloween.

Lovely place for an easy hike, mild breeze and a great view. Lush green perimeter and some benches to sit and relax.

Simone was an absolute pleasure on our tour! She ran the tour in English and Dutch and accommodated every member present. You could tell by the way she spoke and interacted with us that she loves her job and is passionate about the intricacies involved in mass product production, and the Grolsch brand. Grolsch is very lucky to have her as a part of their company!

A superb museum about Piet Mondriaan, who spent his early years in Winterswijk, in the villa he lived in. Small, but packed with his early paintings, films, but none of the later cubist style. There is a café and shop, also temporary exhibitions. Helpful staff, and right in the centre of this busy but still quaint town.

Without doubt one of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen, me and my friends lighted some candles and donated some money to the church for (the windows)? I’m not sure. Anyways, there’s a lot to see and learn in the church and I also think there was something about the Second World War in the basement. Again, I’m not sure. This is because I don’t speak German so a lot of things are hard to understand when it isn’t translated. Anyways I think this is the best place to visit in the city so I would definitely recommend it.

Extraordinary place! The old Roman city is a kilometer wide and long. The Roman baths, harbor temple, coliseum and museum are very cool. The descriptions have an English translation. A friend who has been to Pompeii said this site is next best after Pompeii. We spent about 3 hours here. Xanten is a nice town to visit too, lots of character and a beautiful cathedral.

Castle was restored at 2017 and now hosts part of art collection devoted to realism from More museum. The collection is small but nice. Reserve up to 1 hour for the museum. The interiors of the castle are nicely renovated with the wood paneling and tapestry. The pattern of hardwood floors repeats the pattern on the ceiling. The parking is free, but the place is popular, so parking is full on the weekends. The restaurant in the Orangery is nice and staff is very helpful.

It is great to have a place like this museum for remembering the local history. It is not easy to maintain those facility and collections by a priviate association. They did great job and I really feel the warm welcome for my visiting.

Stumbled upon this by chance, really glad we did,it’s a lovely slice of history and one man’s vision and collection of medieval art and artefacts. Included in the price is a guided tour of the tower which is certainly worth the climb up the narrow stairs.

Great place to spend some quality time. They offer a quite good variety of animals, the place is clean and well structured. They offer coffee, ice cream and small dishes. You can rent a wheelchair if you're joined by elderly family members or friends, some animals can be fed by hand and for kids there is even a playground with an awesome and secure climbing tower, so everybody at any age can have a good time there.

Great place, lots of spaces exhibition rooms. Perfect restaurant with pleasant staff. Accessible for all. Located interesting area.

Mainly came here to see the tanks , but it's a very big museum that it would take almost all day to look at everything . I recommend arriving when it opens. Parking next to museum has a good capacity and is free. There's an exhibition about WW2 in the Netherlands and about people who lived during the war in Netherlands + WW2 info. What I really liked was the D-Dex exhibition, it's like a simulation where you could be an American soldier and land in the beaches. I have only a few problems with this simulation... When you're waiting for it to start outside, and you put English, it simply doesn't work. It's still in dutch + add more water, because I could easily pass the water sprinklers and not get wet :) in mostly some of the parts of the museum, it's either in dutch or German. . . But if I'm sure there was an audio guide on their website for the English. Edit: Thanks for the response! When I was waiting for the D-Dex version in English, it had the British flag, so I went in and it was still in dutch. Personally I don't think it's a big problem since there was more English than dutch, but I still liked my experience here!

One hike is guided by the purple sign. It starts at the tourist information (parking and food service) and meanders up and down through the heath to Posbank (parking and food service) and back in a loop. Another hike is perfectly guided by the red sign. It starts at Posbank and leads you mainly through forest and fern to a very nice place to rest, eat, and drink (De Carolinahoeve). The hike takes you back in a loop, and there are also great views of the heath landscape. All the trails are perfectly marked by posts along the way. There is a post that shows the direction before you even start to think where to go. Unfortunately, dogs are allowed and even with leash they come too close.

I would like to congratulate the management for understanding the true meaning of hospitality. Mr. Anton gave us a tour in English - he was absolutely delightful, patient with all of our curious questions, and we had a wonderful time. The castle grounds are also gorgeous. We highly recommend this visit, and would especially like to thank Ms. Corinne, Ms. Danielle and Mr. Anton for their generous and kind hospitality. Ms. Danielle went above and beyond to make our visit a very memorable experience despite a rude beginning with Mr. Baartjan. We highly recommend this visit - takes you away from the hustle and bustle into the country side to a 14th century castle. Make sure to get your tickets in advance, and grab lunch at the Bistrobar Beaune up on the hill!

Beautiful, quiet little city with a well preserved historical center

Such a fun day! Yes, it's more aimed at fun than learning. But isn't that the best way to learn? They've incorporated the theme well and with kids ages 3 to 12 or so, you'll have a day filled with fun and even learn a thing or two. Heck, you'll enjoy yourself too if you join in the games.

Very fun place for kids! It is quite big, with outside and inside playgrounds. There are multiple areas and lots of table options located in different halls/rooms, so you can be closest to the playground most appropriate for the age of the child. We loved the QR ordering system! So convenient, just scan a QR code at yoir table, order and pay on your phone and food and drinks get delivered to you table! Very easy. You can also order at one of the two bars as well, so no problem if you don't have a smart phone. Kids enter free after 5pm at the moment, if you are just popping in for some food. And the place closes at 7pm. Food was fine. Nothing too special, but my husband did enjoyed his spare ribs and the menu is pretty big with snacking options. I had fish and chips, our child had a boiled sausage, which we preferred much more to the deep fried ones. Plenty of drink options, including wine and beer. :) Everyone who works here is friendly and approachable. We enjoyed our evening stop and definitely recommend this place to other families with children. Kids can be entertained here for hours. There is even an arts and crafts room, which we saw, but it closes at 5pm. Fun place! We will be back.
