This is part of a chain. My wife and daughters mainly used the swimming pool whilst I used the wellness area. As both my teenage daughters are both very competent swimmers (life guards), my wife left them occasionally to join me in the saunas. My wife and daughters really enjoyed the main pool. There was lots to do all day. I also enjoyed the wellness area. There is a good variety of saunas, each with a varied Aufgus plan. However, it is showing signs of aging. The owners of this chain need to employ a maintenance team to keep on top of the many minor repairs that are needed. This will help make customers feel cared for because you care for the environment they are in. It was good value and we'll be back next year.

Really nice place! At the spa we first got a warm welcome from Manfred who showed us around and gave an extra towel for coverup. I will never understand the nudity thing. I think is unnecessary, just let people wear swimwear or at least sell “one time use” ones at the spa. We noticed a bit disrespect. Anyway, the food was super nice and a lot of healthy offerings. The “aufgus” ceremonies was super nice and it was different from what I’ve seen in other spas. Really recommend.

Keen team, good massage, very clean and relaxing location, confortable eelax areas. Possible to book private beds. Healthy lunches 2 small improvements: - site is not so clear how to proceed : not possible to book through site the massages, not informing there are plenty of free relaxing areas , inside and outside - Better to call for booking a massage

Lovely pool, delicious food, great facilities. Do watch out with the nudity though.

I had the most enjoyable day with diving and in the wellness. The people working there are extremely kind!

Really rare or no information on the website. The service personnel isn't friendly and not courteous. Please improve it. No recommendations!!

Super fun good food

Good place to shop for clothing in the City Outlet stores. For coffee, visit Café Erftgold. They have good coffee and lots of cakes.

Bad münstereifel is a beautiful town, full of little shops with great prices. Plenty of lovely restaurants and amazing food, the coffee shops and cakes are out of this world and the atmosphere is amazing.

It's an incredibly enjoyable environment. Among the historical buildings, there are beautiful shops, stylish cafes, happy people, and beautiful nature. The weather is also quite pleasant. The prices in the stores are also quite reasonable. I recommend you visit.

A small city with which one can easily fall in love... the landscape is like a painting and people are nice

Something for everyone. I was there to photograph the art exhibition with the huge Easter eggs. Definitely worth a visit

Despite it being a charming village within fortress walls, the outlet stores in the city diminish the originality and authentic character. The clash between history and shopping experience was a bit too harsh for my taste. It depends on your point of view ofcourse. Nevertheless there are still beautiful buildings to be seen and you can still get a feeling of what it used to be before 'civilisation' marched in.

Lovely small village. Maybe better than Monschau. House build in 1609 from wooden beams !?

I recently spent a day at Therme Euskirchen, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The complex offers an impressive variety of saunas – from something resembling a hammam to a unique sauna where you can watch koi fish swimming gracefully behind glass, and many others to explore. Each one had its own character and atmosphere, making it a real journey through different wellness traditions. The pools are equally diverse. There’s a swim-up bar with very reasonable prices (and I was delighted to find my favorite banana weizen beer there), a saltwater pool for deep relaxation, and even a smaller pool where calming music plays underwater – a surprisingly magical touch. I felt both refreshed and completely relaxed by the end of the day. A special mention must go to the Amber Orchid restaurant inside the complex. It is truly a fine-dining experience, with excellent cuisine and a refined atmosphere. Our dinner there was a perfect finale to the day. I would particularly like to thank our waiter, Scott K., who provided impeccable service and made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, Therme Euskirchen is a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for relaxation, variety, and a touch of luxury – all in one spot.

It would be nice if the website clearly stated that children are not allowed on certain days. That would save people from making a pointless trip. It's understandable that children are not allowed in the sauna. But “Palm Paradise” sounds very tempting to children.

We had a great day at the Therme. Unfortunately, my cousin had an accident on the stairs near the immersive sky experience. The stairs there are a dangerous. They don’t have anti slip protection and that is why my niece slipped and fail. There are other stairs near the thermal pools and that one has slip protection. See pictures.

The four of us had a great day at the Therme Euskirchen. We would like to put special emphasis on the food at the restaurant "Amber Orchid". The food was so good that we went to eat there twice that day. If you happen to visit and went some actual good food instead of the usual, be sure to give it a try. Greetings to Scott from the four musketeers.

I love the therme in Euskirchen. It was my 5th time there. In the week its not too busy. They have a beautiful sauna and a huge garden. My favourite is the koi sauna. For food, swim, sauna und towels you pay a full day 100€.

I was able to see the exact price only after registering on your website. The price turned out to be almost twice as high as the one shown earlier — €76 for two tickets (one adult and one child) for 4 hours of swimming out of season (only the indoor pool). Could you please explain how your pricing is calculated? The price was very high for us, so we couldn’t visit the spa complex. The children were very disappointed.

We had a relaxing experience here. The sauna's were great! Our dinner at Amber Orchid was delicious. Our waiter Scott was amazing..he was very enthousiast and very friendly! This place is highly recommended!!!

This park is absolutely stunning! I have been to a lot of them but this one is a true piece of art! Wherever you look it is fabulous! The rides are super fun and the food is very good. I want to come back as soon as i can.

It's a nice enough place. It's clean, in terms of no visible grime on things, but the air is filthy with cigarette smoke. The rides are long, with queues to match. I found myself exiting rides, feeling nauseous already, only to walk into a wall of toxic smoke making me feel disgusting. The only place you can go to escape it is the queue of another ride, so that's what we did. The food is on the expensive side, but there are cheaper options and we took our own snacks to supplement. Recommend doing this if cost is a concern. A number of rides were closed on our visit but the ones we did go on were good, well managed, no technical difficulties. We didn't check our small bags and they were fine to be stored while we went on most rides. Agree that the shuttle bus feels like a scam. €5 for a return trip when you have to wait 30 min for it feels excessive. I tried it, I didn't vomit, I probably wouldn't return.

Great experience, amazing times. We did spend whole day over there. Waiting time for ride was reasonable. Place was clean, staff friendly and travel from Cologne was good. I would be back for sure.

I love visiting theme park and I was intrigued by Phantasialand for a while but I was hesitant because this park has mostly thrill rides and I'm really not into it. However my Husband's is a huge fan of thrill rides so stopped for a day. I was positively surprised by the beauty of the park. The decor are really amazing and well made. I loved the vintage Germany area and the fantasy land. But everything was really gorgeous! It's immersive, well maintained and magical. My favorite ride was Maus au Chocolat which was fun and the decor were really nice. Also Geisterishka even though it's quite outdated now, I liked it. The carousel and the monorail were also pleasant. But as someone who is not into thrill rides I can sometimes be a bit bored. Thankfully the park is nice to walk around, have a sit to relax or watch a show. It was enough for a day however and I couldn't have stayed more unfortunately. I hope that in the future, more dark rides will come as it's something that's really missing here. Other than that, for the quality and the price I can't complain. This is one of the best park in Europe and I wonder why it's not more known. The park is beautiful, they care for details and they maintained it very well compare to other (more popular) parks in Europe. I will definitely come back again if I visit the area.

People are smoking all over the place. This part was a huge dissapointment. The Uhrwerk restaurant employees didnt speak English which should be a basic requirement for anyone working there. We ended up in the China parking where the spaces between the two rows were very very narrow. The whole parking should be re-planned. Overall, it is a nice park, nothing stands out in terms of extreme. It is a nice family park with family friendly attractions. The app is rubbish and the developers seems to be stupid for missing basic things like different languages…!? The price is too high for what you get. Better to go to Toverland or Efteling for cheaper, better, more organised and overall better value for your money.

Phantasialand is by far the best theme park I’ve ever visited! 🎢 The park offers world-class rides like Taron (my personal #1 coaster) and F.L.Y., both surrounded by incredible theming that completely immerses you in each area. Every detail feels thought out and alive. And don’t skip the food — it’s genuinely fantastic and way above average for a theme park!

One of the best parks I've ever been to! We've visited multiple times over the years and the quality has remained fantastic year after year. The food is great and not over priced, the park is clean and well maintained and the staff are friendly. Entrance fees can vary, but if you time it right,you can get great deals.

Excellent place..worth the visit... Had too much fun

Atmosphere is amazing if you play with friends! Three maps are available. Junglecamp, Battlefield, Adventurefield. Its sadly a bit pricey, but definitely worth the fun.

Good paintball arena with 3 areas to choose from. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They got well-maintained equipment and a good play time management system. Ammunition refill can get expensive for a few rounds, but I guess that's what you need to pay for this sport. Otherwise recommended!

Really fun experience and friendly staff!

It was a great experience! I can only recommend it. Had a lot of fun and great service, i will definitely come back

Very good and nice place to have fun with friends, I totally recommend it.

Really friendly staff. The place is well set and the guns are worked properly. Definitely a great experience

The ticket is just 5 euros and you go up 28 floors pretty fast. It’s just 10-15 mins walk, across the bridge. And totally worth it. Could be windy there so carry a jacket.

Fantastic 360° view of Cologne. Very cheaply priced and is open all throughout the day. Highly recommend coming here if walking up the 500+ steps to the top of Cologne Cathedral's South Tower just isn't for you.

Highly recommended! Open until 10 PM in the summer (Friday and Saturday). If you go from 9 PM until closing, you'll see it both in the morning/sunset and in the evening. This is also plenty of time, since there's no bar or other seating.

If you’re in Cologne and wanna catch the best city views, KölnTriangle is the spot for that. This place gives you a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, and trust me, it looks absolutely stunning, especially at night. The Cologne Cathedral shines like a gem, and the Rhein River just adds to the magic. It’s a chill place to just soak in the skyline and snap some killer photos. Go in the evening when the city lights up it’s a whole vibe ..! (: Ticket cost 5€

View point which gives the classic panorama of cologne including the cathedral, the rhine river and the hohenzollernbrücke bridge. Is it worth going up for 8 euro? Probably not but what else are you going to do in cologne?

This is a great alternative option to see the city from high or having to climb the steps of the cathedral bell tower. There was no queue when we arrived, 5euros for a ticket, get on the lift to the 28th floor and your free to roam around the top. Great views and really sheltered from the weather with super high glass barriers. It's a great place to get away from the noise of the city. They do not allow suitcases but were fine with rucksacks. Great value and 100% must visit.

Great views! Easy to get the photos you want of the city.

What a lovely museum; both its architecture and its collections, they are all breathtaking… Museum Ludwig is highly regarded as one of Europe's most significant art museums, particularly for its collection of modern and contemporary art… It has diverse collection, which includes extensive holdings of Pop Art, Picasso, and works from the Russian avant-garde… The museum's architecture and spacious galleries are excellently contributing to a positive experience… Its main key aspects are as below: Extensive Collection: It boasts a vast collection spanning various artistic movements from the 20th and 21st centuries, with notable strengths in Pop Art, Picasso, and Russian avant-garde works… Renowned Artists: You can expect to see works by iconic artists such as Picasso, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Richter, Mondrian, Dali, Kandinsky, Nolde, Kokoschka, Man Ray, Pollack, Miro and many more… Well-Curated Exhibitions: The museum is well-organized and thoughtfully presents exhibitions, offering a mix of established masterpieces and cutting-edge contemporary works… Architectural Design: The building's architecture, including its spacious galleries and natural lighting, is enhancing the overall viewing experience… Location: Situated near the Cologne Cathedral, railway station and the bridge the museum's location is very very convenient… Overall: Museum Ludwig is a high-quality art institution that offers a rewarding experience… Having said all these, need to mention that some visitors suggest that the museum could improve the information provided alongside the artworks, particularly for those less familiar with modern art…

Its collection focused on modern and contemporary art is already very strong, but for me it has a special place especially because of its Picasso works. Being able to see original Picasso paintings from different periods so closely, and examine them down to the brushstrokes, is a truly impressive experience. They don’t just remain as paintings hanging on the wall – you find yourself wanting to stand in front of them for a long time and think. Alongside that, the pop art and other modern works make the museum even richer. Even if you only have a slight interest in art, it’s a place you should definitely make time for and one that shouldn’t be missed on a visit to Cologne.

A fantastic museum with an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art, including standout works by Picasso, Warhol, and Lichtenstein. The layout is spacious and well-curated, making it easy to explore at your own pace. Some sections may feel a bit niche or abstract depending on your taste, but overall it’s a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Great location next to the cathedral and worth the visit.

I think this is one of the most important museums in Cologne and one of the main art museums in Germany. You can easily spend 2-3 hours there: it ranges from a very important modern art section with John Cage and "Five Friends" to important expressionist painters, local and international impressionists, and even some Picassos. Everything is stunning, four floors of pure art. There may be lines.

This place is remarkable! This is a museum where every single painting is worth seeing. Of course, the Picasso collection is the most famous and iconic, but you can find plenty of splendid paintings there. My only regret is that I had only 1.5 hours to see this collection.

Interesting works of Picasso and other artists such as Ursula. Terrace views of the Hohenzollern bridge and the cathedral.

Me and my girlfriend were in the city for the weekend and decided to call into Museum Ludwig to to pass some time. It was a nicely laid out museum with an interesting collection of works.

Paid €3.60 for for two hours of parking then needed to feed a newborn baby, went to the gate to exit still within the 2 hours of paid parking it wanted more money because time of paying and time of exit were different. Despite paying for two hours and attempted to exit in those two hours. Called for help on machine and no answer

Perfect parking

(Translated by Google) It's a sufficiently large parking lot. You can only pay with cash, and only bills up to 20 euros are accepted. I think this is a problem, especially for foreign visitors who are used to paying by card. Hence, one star less. (Original) Es handelt sich um einen ausreichend großen Parkplatz. Man kann nur mit Bargeld bezahlen und es werden nur Scheine bis 20 Euro angenommen. Ich denke, gerade für ausländische Besucher, die an Kartenzahlung gewöhnt sind, ist das ein Problem. Daher ein Sternchen weniger.

(Translated by Google) It's very beautiful here. However, parking is limited on busy days. You can find additional parking nearby. (Original) Es ist sehr schön hier. Parkplätze reichen aber an gzt besuchten Tagen nicht. Man kann in der Nähe weitere Parkplätze finden

(Translated by Google) A quiet place to linger, with occasional lovely events; every visit is worthwhile. The tours are highly recommended. (Original) Ruhiger Ort zum verweilen und ab und an auch mit schönen Veranstaltungen jeder besuch lohnt sich. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Rundgänge.

(Translated by Google) It gets very crowded on weekends and the incline isn't easy for novice drivers. Otherwise, it's fine. (Original) Am Wochenende ist er sehr überfüllt und die Steigung ist nicht einfach für Fahranfänger. Ansonsten ist er in Ordnung.

(Translated by Google) Nice parking lot with plenty of spaces. Very clean. (Original) Schöner Parkplatz mit viele Plätze.Sehr sauber.

Utterly breathtaking and awe inspiring Cathedral. Immensely beautiful, clean and free to enter. Excellent support service in the Information centre. Many lovely older worlde cafes nearby.Toilets outside the Cathedral are clean and well maintained.

The Cologne Cathedral is absolutely amazing and breathtaking! Its enormous size and stunning Gothic architecture make it one of the most impressive landmarks I’ve ever visited. Even though it’s often crowded, everything feels well organized, and the atmosphere remains peaceful and respectful. It’s also right next to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station), so it’s very easy to reach — perfect for a quick stop or a longer visit. The gift shop is lovely, with nice souvenirs and books about the cathedral’s history. I especially recommend visiting on rainy days — the interior feels even more magical and calming, with the sound of rain outside and the light coming through the stained glass windows. Truly a must-see spot in Cologne!

During our Rhine River Cruise, we came here to see this great piece of Gothic architecture. We came with our guide. Since they are not allowed inside, we saw it ourselves. It took more than 600 years to complete this magnificent Church. It was declared World Heritage Site in 1996. It is most visited landmark in Germany. More than 6 million tourist visit every year. It is the third tallest Church in the world. This medieval Church is continuously renovated. It is very beautiful from inside. The stained window glasses and other piece of art and paintings are magnificent. It's open from 10 to 5 from Monday to Saturday and 1 to 4 on Sundays. Minimum one hour is required to see it properly. The trolley bags and other big bags are not allowed inside.

An absolutely breathtaking masterpiece, one of the most awe-inspiring buildings you’ll ever see. Standing before it, you can truly feel the weight of centuries, the devotion, and the artistry that went into every single stone. The towering spires seem to touch the sky, and when the sunlight hits the stained glass windows, the entire interior glows with color and quiet power. It’s not just a cathedral - it’s a symbol of human perseverance, faith, and creativity. Construction began in the 13th century and took more than 600 years to complete, yet the vision never faded. Every detail, from the delicate sculptures to the massive arches, tells a story of patience and belief that beauty is worth waiting for.

Its foundation was laid in the 13th century and it was only completed in the 19th century; it rises in the very heart of the city as one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture. Both the details on the exterior and the historic, tranquil atmosphere you feel once you step inside are truly mesmerizing. Just walking around in the silence, with light filtering through the stained glass and the ceilings soaring above you, is an experience in itself. It’s a landmark that’s become synonymous with Cologne and, in my opinion, a truly magnificent place that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

We came for the Christmas markets but were wowed by this cathedral. Absolutely stunning. It is free, which is amazing!!! We walked right in. We did pay €20 for the whole family to go up the south tower. We did not buy these ahead. It was a little tight up the stairs. 535 of them. We saw the bells and they rang when we were by them, which was cool.

One of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. Cologne Cathedral isn’t just a building — it dominates the city. The closer you stand, the more unreal it feels: every detail, every shadow, every tower looks carved with impossible precision. Inside, the atmosphere drops into silence instantly. It’s calm, powerful, almost overwhelming in the best way. If you’re in Cologne, this is the one place you absolutely can’t skip. Truly unforgettable.

Love how this central station is extremely close to the famous Cologne Cathedral. You get out of the station and voila, the main landmark is there. I went around a little bit and it's quite dirty and smells urine and all other unpleasant ones. Otherwise, I was just happy at how convenient it was located to my main destination, which is the cathedral.

I love that you can see Koln Cathedral as soon as you step out of the train station. And that you're right in the heart of old town, an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. There were a few coin operated rides in the train station to keep my little boy happy while we waited. I believe there were also local cafes but I just had Starbucks this time.

Nice & huge Place, it's have all service and restaurants. Possibility of traveling to most parts of Germany, beautiful views of the famous Cologne Cathedral, and easy access to tourist attractions (river, cable car, museums, shops, old town, etc.)

The train station is okay and is located well but… Why is there ONE BATHROOM?? The queue was so long and I just needed to go :( there are also a lot of druggies and strange people around the station and a lot of drunks.

One of the most beautiful Central Stations (if not the best) in Nordrhein-Westfalen. From there you have multiple possibilities with the tram, S-Bahn or subway. You can also take a walk around to see the old city. The cathedral in front of it is a MUST SEE!

Köln Hauptbahnhof is easily one of Europe's most visually stunning railway stations, thanks to its breathtaking location right next to the magnificent Kölner Dom, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The direct proximity creates a dramatic and mesmerizing view as you exit, where the modern travel hub is dwarfed by the towering spires of the Gothic Cathedral. This central location makes it the perfect gateway, not only serving as a crucial junction for high-speed ICE and international trains to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, but also providing immediate access to the River Rhine, the famous "love lock" covered Hohenzollern Bridge, and Cologne's historic Old Town.

A great place to arrive and depart. This station is located in the middle of everything. There is the famous Cathedral, history, a museum and lots of shopping areas with restaurants. A short walk & you can walk beside the River or across the bridge .

The 165th anniversary of Cologne Zoo is celebrated with evergreen content: dinosaurs. But also with a Panini sticker album. So, if you want to give your children a treat, buy the Dino kombi ticket with the sticker album. Do so online to jump the queue on site. I highly recommend to also book the Dino VR experience in advance - it is a ten minute visual aid (in coop with local VR hero TimeRide) and adds to the animatronics dinos scattered throughout the park. Otherwise, the 14 dinos add a nice distraction to the regular inhabitants of the lovely zoo. Some are animated, others really huge. One of the oldest zoos of Germany sports some nice attractions but also undergoes some considerable refurbishments. Some areas are closed off, others are currently under construction (giraffe house). But some historic buildings (old elephant house) surely add to the flavor. We paid €98 for two adults and 2 kids. So plan to bring your healthy snacks and drinks with you, otherwise better top up your Amex ;)

Although zoos are not my favorite place to travel, this zoo surprised me. Animal rights were relatively respected and different and rare animals were collected in this zoo. I saw the Iranian cheetah, an endangered animal, for the first time in this zoo. It was a completely different experience from the zoos I had seen in Asia and Europe. I had it here.

An incredibly expansive and intricate zoo, with an insane amount of different areas and habitats to visit. Definitely reserve at least a few hours to complete a full loop of the zoo! I've never seen so many of certain animals before, namely the meerkats. Gate staff are also super friendly and speak English which makes it easy.

Have been there again after a long time, it seems most animals kept well,they have more space now and look ok. Only the see through pool of the hippopotamus had an eco problem and was very cloudy,which was why they weren't fed for the public. The ant eater looked bored and moved repetitive. I liked the space of the cheetah which looked very natural. Entrance is expansive,but if you buy tickets online you get a daily free ticket for public transport

The Cologne Zoo is very small. The elephant house and fake dinosaurs take up most of the space. The zoo is a dreary, bleak, and absolutely ugly place, captivating depressed animals. It's truly awful, giving an abandoned desolated and apocalyptic area. Anyone who doesn't feel pity for them probably won't feel anything else either. Every enclosure is super tiny. A lot of animals were also not there. The tropical house was closed, as well as every snack bars except one.. on a weekend.

Amazing place...a beautifully laid out zoo with so many wonderful birds and mammals to see and learn about

The Cologne Zoo was Fascinating and I had a remarkable time looking at and watching all the different types of animals. One exception is that they could zone the animal regions so you know what animals are where based on their location they are found. My father in law, Gary enjoyed watching the penguins and the seals jump and dive into the water, Gary said “looks fun to be one”. We both had an amazing time in the Dino VR which tells you how the dinosaurs went extinct and how they lived before. It’s fascinating and a must see, the food selection could be better but overall a great zoo experience. One of the better ones i’ve seen!!🙌

Interesting open-air museum to learn about the different architectural styles in the region. Many of the old buildings were moved from other villages to this location or recreated. They are well-preserved and contain original furniture and objects with specific themes. You can also find some farm animals, but children cannot touch them (kein Streichelzoo).The signage to get there is quite poor. You also need to walk up a hill from the parking lot to the entrance, which is difficult if you have a cart or stroller. Forget about going in if someone is in a wheelchair. Most of the paths are covered with cobblestones (Kopfsteinpflaster), making it quite difficult and uncomfortable to walk. The park area is absurdly large, and you cannot visit all the points in just one day if you are with small children or people in a wheelchair.The restaurant offers good food options, and the staff is friendly.

I have been driving around Europe for 14 weeks so far, 8 different countries, many different attractions and this place is up there with the best. So well set up, it's like going back in time. Much bigger than I expected with beautiful paths thru the forest to each section. I LOVED it so much, can't recommend high enough, not to be missed

It is an amazing place! A lot of attractions is there. Try to go during good weather because you have to walk a lot outdoors. Highly recommended.

Very interesting place for people, which like walk and imagine. Here you will find old houses with old furniture inside, old mill and interesting exhibition with wax figures. Good restaurant, not high prise and 2-3 hours for walk in wood.

This is a nicely expanding open air museum. Since last year and our last visit there are a few new item to see, combined with the extras today with the horses and tractors meeting it made for an interesting day out. The children always have a lot of fun to see what has changed and to see the animals as well. As said the horses were an extra highlight. As this was all included in the lvr family card it makes it a real bargain as well. Well worth a visit and always worth getting some fresh bread which they make on site.

Nicely built and well arranged according to geography and/or time period, with lovely walkways in-between, with many roads and directions for a long or short or thorough visit. Authentic interior. However, while the description on the outside is in English, basically all of the exhibits or stories inside the houses are explained in German only. Very interesting is the exhibit "Wir Rheinländer", telling the story of this particular area from early 1800 until late 1940s, where you walk along a city street and peer into windows, looking at wax dolls in different settings, adding a couple of years for each window, and seeing how culture and people change as time goes by. For a full visit of the entire museum you should plan at least 4-5 hours.

If you like walking and historical architecture and pretty countryside then you are at the right place. Just a marvel of a place. Well worth it. Also local food, ie breads,cakes and meats available at the eateries there.

The Wuppertaler Zoo offers a truly enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages, especially families with young children. Nestled in a beautifully green and lush landscape, the zoo is surrounded by dense vegetation that creates a peaceful, almost park-like atmosphere. The natural environment enhances the overall experience and makes for a pleasant day outdoors. The variety of animals is impressive, ranging from native European species to exotic creatures. While the zoo does boast a considerable selection, I did notice that some iconic African wildlife such as giraffes were missing, which might be a minor letdown for visitors hoping for a complete “safari” experience. Nevertheless, the animals that are present are housed in thoughtfully designed enclosures. Among the highlights: • The ape enclosure is particularly engaging, offering good visibility and space for the animals to display natural behaviors. • The elephant habitat is well-maintained and spacious, with a layout that allows for good viewing without disturbing the animals. • The penguin enclosure deserves a special mention for its well-crafted and immersive design, which simulates their natural environment effectively. Children are especially well catered for at Wuppertaler Zoo. The petting zoo, home to friendly goats and donkeys, is a delightful and interactive area for kids. There are also several playgrounds scattered throughout the zoo, which provide fun breaks between animal exhibits and allow younger visitors to burn off energy. There is an on-site restaurant, which offers a decent selection of meals and refreshments. The food is of good quality, but it is slightly on the expensive side, so budget-conscious visitors may wish to plan accordingly. Overall, the Wuppertaler Zoo provides a relaxing and enriching outing, especially for families. The combination of nature, education, and play makes it a destination well worth visiting.

Great, natural-like grounds with large enclosures and plenty of retreat space for the animals. Due to the hillside location, there is a lot of going up and down, but you can rent wagons for small children. Many lovingly designed playgrounds are scattered throughout the area, so the little ones can let off steam in between. There is also plenty of shade from trees, including small wooded sections. The zoo restaurant offers a good compromise between your typical currywurst/fries and delicious, healthy dishes at a fair price.

Dislikes : Quite unimpressed to have visited the zoo 1) Imagine an Orangutan covering itself under cloth, though it has so much free space to explore 2) Silver-back gorillas were kept in such a small enclosure. It stood up and kept looking at me, I felt a lot of guilt and stopped taking anymore pics of it. Felt some of them were sad / lonely. Few enclosures were empty. These are purely my perspective. Positives : Zoo was tidy and well maintained, no complaints. Lots of green space to walk around. There were some live music by elderly people, big respect. With a bit of walking, one can easily cover the entire Zoo within few hours. Penguin enclosure and bird aviary are a must go. The restaurant was equally good

Very nice zoo, nice setup and a lot of animals you don’t see in most other zoos. Kids up to 14 have free entrance, with tripper there is a nice discount. Going there with the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn makes it extra exciting.

I really enjoyed the layout of this place. I particularly enjoyed looking at the elephants and seals. The park is large so there is a lot of walking but well worth walking. There are plenty of places to sit and take rest. There are food and drinks available and enjoyed my lunch. Staff are friendly and approachable. I enjoyed visiting this gem just inside Wuppertal.

One of the best zoos I’ve visited! The Antarctic zone was an amazing experience 👌. They have super spacious enclosures for tigers, lions, and elephants. First time seeing a kangaroo too!

It was good, area was beautiful, green and full of trees, but the route inside the zoo had a lot of ups and downs, and with a stroller it was sometimes breathtaking. As we went to Cologn and Duisburg zoo as well, this one compared to other two seemed smaller with fewer animal species.

Amazing experience and a highlight when you are in Wuppertal. Just take a ride from one end to the other. Consider checking the schedules because the Schwebebahn is often in maintenance mode.

Only runs on weekends right now. But if you keep that in mind, it's a very affordable and unique tourist attraction. Great way to see a beautiful city. Buy the all-day ticket and hop on and off. Don't forget to learn about the famous elephant who rode the train

It was a really nice experience for us and the children that the rail way was above the river and streets

Elevatated train from 1901 is a must see. It costs €14.50 for a 3-person 24-hour ticket that includes buses.

Bahn is great fun, but pnr didnt work there it was hard to left the car

It's a very good experience for a one time ride. The trains were nice and clean. Lines are beautifully constructed over the central canal through the city. The views of the surrounding hills are also nice. Tips: The tail end seats offer the best views. It's a bit noisy ride.

I was told about this suspension railway and recommended to try it. I joined at Kluse (one stop down from the main train station, next to the cinema) and grabbed a ticket - although cheap (only 1.70) I found the machine doesn't take credit card, so come prepared with coins. The railway isn't big - only two carriages - but they are pretty frequent so if you miss one (or it's full), you don't have long to wait for the next. The carriages have been modernised: they're brightly-lit with clean seats that don't look worn in any way. Sitting at the back gives a good view down the river and along the roads during the trip, but as I tried it last evening in winter most of my trip was quite dark. I travelled south-west all the way to Vohwinkel (the terminal stop) where it's possible to see the other carriages parked, so there's quite a few cars. I then grabbed the one on the other side and travelled back the other way. Quite leisurely, a pretty smooth ride and fairly quick, given the age of the technology. Well worth the trip!

Good Museum, but mainly for children,family visit as lots of interactive thing to watch,listen and outside is a playground. Even if u are not an evolution fan, but it worth a visit. Nice walk outside,at the cansl and woods, natural and not too overtrimmed. Bit left wild as huge area connect to the Neanderthal valley.. Recommend

The museum is a hidden gem, specially for expats like me or tourists from abroad, as it has plenty of text and audio in English (unfortunately not that common in Germany). The reconstructions are incredible and are definitely the highlight! But the museum actually offers very good content, with detail in the scientific disciplines involved and including important civic takeaways. It is also quite interesting for families, since the permanent exhibition includes a lot of interactive elements and an audio guide with voice acting for immersion.

Museum is informative, designed mostly to kids, adults can find interesting information as well. I would recommend visiting it for those who are interested in prehistoric era. But most exhibits are replicas.

Amazing museum. It's small but very well made and explained. Beautiful building and surrounding site. Highly recommended for kids.

Definitely buy tickets online as it was only 1 cashier open for the tickets and for the shop. For us it wasnt a wow museum, but never been in one so its out of a bucket list 😊

Nice interactive and interesting museum! There is a nice playground in the area as well!

Great exhibition, enriching experience, very suitable learning experience for kids and adult.

Very good food. The portions are correct for the prices and the quality is excellent. The brot is really delicious (taste and texture). Though we did not reserve a table, we seated though we had to search for a table for ourself. The waitresses were friendly and kept checking on us. There was a bit of an issue with the machine for card payment and in general, the restaurant has a nice interior.

The food is delicious, they serve the best Zuppa di Pomodoro. However, the staff is a roller-coster ride, sometimes they are really nice, but sometimes they are just rude. Maybe they feel overwhelmed when the place is too crowded.

young and welcoming staff, excellent English, the cuisine Is good

Verry good and tasty food!! I recommend 100%👍👍🙌

The ambiance is OK, food is good but pricey and some of the staffs are terrifying and feels like they are quite not approachable

Really good meal for a town centre. Very impressed. Good service and delicious food.

Amazing cakes with plum and nice coffee

Interesting to visit, however the visiting time is very limited and the 2G rule is there although it is outdoor.

(Translated by Google) We found it very nice. Were there on a Saturday and only at 9 p.m., but there was still a lot going on. But we didn't have to wait long. The lights and attractions were beautiful and photo worthy. (Original) Wir fanden es sehr schön. Waren an einem Samstag da und erst um 21 Uhr, dafür war aber noch ordentlich was los. Anstehen mussten wir aber nicht groß. Die Lichter und Attraktionen waren schön und Fotos wert.

(Translated by Google) [03/04/2022] Located at the exhibition center in Essen, the GrugaPark offers many activities in summer and winter. Every year after dusk, the Gruga lights are a colorful and attractive place to visit with many different light installations in shape and color. Always a highlight for photographers. A toilet and stops for eating and drinking are also available. There are several parking lots around the park. Admission is €6.00 ​​for adults. (Original) [04.03.2022] An der Messe in Essen gelegen bietet der GrugaPark im Sommer und Winter viele Aktivitäten. Das Grugaleuchten ist jedes Jahr nach der Dämmerung eine bunte und attraktive Besuchsmöglichkeit mit vielen verschiedenen Lichtinstallationen in Form und Farbe. Für Fotografen immer ein Highlight. Ein WC sowie Stops zum essen und trinken sind auch vorhanden. Rund um den Park gibt es mehrere Parkplätze. Der Eintritt kostet für Erwachsene 6,00 Euro.

(Translated by Google) It was absolutely beautiful. A lot to see. Terrain that is sometimes difficult for older people and yet very dark. But everything worked out. A great attraction for young and old. Price performance top! The physical well-being was also provided in abundance at affordable prices. Toilets clean 👍🏼 Tip: Use the side entrances and book the tickets in advance. Then it's a walk through, the parking lot on the side of the road was SO free. We'd love to come back. (Original) War voll schön. Viel zu sehen. Für ältere Leute teilweise schwieriges Terrain und doch sehr dunkel. Aber hat alles geklappt. Für Groß und Klein ne tolle Attraktion. Preis Leistung top! Für das leibliche Wohl wurde auch reichlich gesorgt zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Toiletten sauber 👍🏼 Tip: Nutzt die Seiteneingänge und bucht die Karten vorab. Dann ist es ein Durchmarsch, auch der Parkplatz war SO am Straßenrand kostenlos. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) An event that you have to see if you come from the Ruhr area. We were there on a weekday and got a parking space straight away. We had already booked the tickets (adults €9) online and it was very quick at the entrance. Beautiful light events in different shapes and sizes. A great artist! You can also get mulled wine, coffee and bratwurst if you're slightly hungry. A bratwurst in a bun for €4 is reasonable. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was a nice trip ;-) (Original) Eine Veranstaltung die man gesehen haben muss wenn man aus dem Ruhrgebiet kommt. Wir waren an einem Wochentag dort und haben auch sofort einen Parkplatz bekommen. Die Tickets ( Erwachsene 9€ )hatten wir online schon gebucht und es ging sehr schnell am Eingangsbereich. Wunderschöne Lichtereignisse in verschiedenen Formen und Größen. Ein toller Künstler ! Glühwein, Kaffee und Bratwurst für den kleinen Hunger kann man auch bekommen. Eine Bratwurst im Brötchen für 4€ sind angemessen. Wir benötigten ca 1 1/2 bis 2 Stunden und es war ein schöner Ausflug ;-)

(Translated by Google) I was just blown away, there was a lot on offer and it was very well attended. And the entrance fee is totally justified at 9 euros for an adult. The only drawback is perhaps the search for a parking space. (Original) Ich war nur hin und weg , es wird einen viel geboten und es war auch sehr gut besucht . Und der Eintritt ist total gerechtfertigt mit 9 Euro für einen Erwachsenen . Das einzige Manko ist vielleicht die Parkplatz suche .

(Translated by Google) Beautiful light installations. Really great for 2-3 hours to walk and switch off. I would only recommend this to a limited extent with children. At the end there are lights in a park. There is no interaction to speak of. This probably makes it quickly uninteresting for children. 1 star less because there are no signposts. If you don't know your way around the park, you'll quickly find yourself in front of an exit that's not the one you came in through. That might have to be changed. (Original) Schöne Lichtinstallationen. Für 2-3 Stunden zum spazieren und abschalten wirklich toll. Mit Kindern würde ich das nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Am Ende sind es Lichter in einem Park. Es gibt keine nennenswerte Interaktion. Das macht es, wahrscheinlich, für Kinder schnell uninteressant. 1 Stern weniger, da es keine Wegweiser gibt. Wenn man sich in dem Park nicht auskennt, steht man mal schnell vor einem Ausgang, der nicht der ist, durch den man rein gekommen ist. Das müsste man vll. ändern.

(Translated by Google) Worth a look, interesting and romantic experience. Definitely go and check it out. Your physical well-being is also taken care of. (Original) Sollte man sich anschauen, interessant und Romantisches Erfahrung. Geht auf jeden Fall hin und schaut es euch an. Für euer leibliches Wohl ist auch gesorgt.

(Translated by Google) Always worth seeing. Very lovingly designed light installations. Dogs are also allowed. The park shines with new lights every year and different themes are implemented. There are always a few installations that stand out and the €7 entry fee is definitely worth it. (Original) Immer wieder sehenswert. Sehr liebevoll gestaltet Lichtinstallationen. Auch Hunde dürfen mit. Der Park erstrahlt jedes Jahr in neuem Lichterglanz und verschiedene Themen werden umgesetzt. Es gibt immer ein paar Installation, die herausstechen und die 7 € Eintritt sind es definitiv wert.

Enjoyable experience of modern art (the 1860s to the 1970s) with informative notes. Includes Dali, Magritte, Van Gogh among many others. I particularly liked various installations. A leisurely stroll through the exhibits took me about two hours, but I can imagine spending more time in this museum, especially because the photo collection was closed at the time of my visit. The main collection is open for free. There is a café-restaurant on the terrace next to the museum. The museum shop has gifts and a lot, a whole library worth of art books. There is also an actual library (reading room) to sit and study art books.

Te permanent exhibition is free. You can find art from Andy Warhol, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Mondrian, etc. And many contemporary artwork. If you want to visit the temporary expositions. You can buy your ticket in the entrance :) Also, the museum shop has interesting stuff to see or buy 🤩

I love this place. The William Kentridge exhibition was exceptional, but the collections hold some gems too (Matisse, Gauguin, Nam Yune Paik, Rodin, Mondriaan) and well curated. We came with our 6 year old who’s not very interrested in art and still spent 3 hours! The museum shop has a great book selection.

Architecturally the building is amazing. The permanente collection is overall pretty good, has quite a few contemporary masters and some interesting minors particularly from the Neue Sachlichkeit and I did not pay. But really need a curatorial overhaul, thematic rooms are maybe good for kids, not for a thinking adult. In particular if the themes are so abstract and the paintings do not speak with each other. Also you can’t put Braque and Picasso right beside a festival poster. I found very interesting & cool the scoring system for paintings’ provenance during WWII, to rank how clear or murky their history was. I wish the same would be done for the “exotic” pieces they have but I guess we would see a lot of red dots. The staff were incredibly friendly and the temporary exhibition was interesting and well curated.

Very nice museum. Free to visit except for the temporary exhibitions.

Their permanent collection is pretty amazing. You can see some artwork from Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali and many more. It’s free entry except the temporary exhibitions.

A great museum with a great collection of modern and contemporary art. Architecture of the building is also amazing. You would need 2-3h for a proper visit.

Enormous industrial complex that was changed into a free tourist zone. There are some events organized here, they were even getting ready for one, when I was there, so you would assume that's a perfect example of revitalization effort. Unfortunately that's not entirely true. Yes instead of a toxic plant there is a museum and a forest, however that is also all that's here. Some of the equipment was left under the sun on its own, getting rusty and overgrown, making it look quite sad. Most of the buildings are closed down and the guided tour shows just a fraction of them. There is also no possibility to go underground inside the coal mine, to explore its history. Thinking it was the biggest one is quite a shame. Overall even though the complex makes an amazing first expression the longer you walk through it the sadder it gets. Wasted potential...

My visit to the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex was an absolutely magnificent experience. It is truly awe-inspiring to see how this former industrial behemoth has been masterfully repurposed into a vibrant cultural landscape, housing museums, exhibition centers, a university, and more. The vision required to preserve such a monumental piece of history while breathing new life into it is simply remarkable. ​The sprawling 100-hectare site has been ingeniously transformed into a verdant park, with fantastic cycling and walking paths weaving through the imposing structures. This unique blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty means you can have a wonderful visit just enjoying the park, even if history isn't your main interest. ​Zollverein truly offers a full day of exploration and enjoyment for the entire family. With delightful cafes, excellent restaurants, and even a casino on the grounds, it's impossible to feel a moment of boredom. ​I was unfortunately pressed for time and could only spend three hours there, which was barely enough to scratch the surface. I am already planning my next trip to fully immerse myself in everything this incredible place has to offer. ​A Special Tip: To truly grasp the immense scale of the complex, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring it by bike or taking one of the guided cart tours. It's an experience that is absolutely worth it!

So pleasantly surprised by this place, it is insta worth it on its own but don’t miss out on the Ruhr museum, worth getting the full ticket to see the special exhibits. Humongous place to see not only the story is the mines but the area, its people and work. Could easily spend there several hours and still not see everything. Pair with Red Dot design museum in the same complex!

Parking is free, and information offices offer maps of this former industrial area, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The map shows the locations of the various exhibitions and indicates a circular route that takes about an hour and a half to walk at a slow pace. On Sundays when I was there, tourist trains run in the site and there are also guided tours. The ticket offices display the prices of the different tickets. I paid €10 for the Ruhr Museum and the Portal der Industriekultur, which has a panoramic terrace. This coal mine, began operating in 1932. Together with the processing plant, it occupied an area of about 100 hectares. It closed in 1986 and began its transformation into a cultural center in 1990.

A beautiful place. A huge mine listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area around the mine is vast and green, and there's even a small playground for children. There's ample parking for cars. There's a small café on the grounds where you can enjoy a coffee or snack while waiting to enter the mine. Prices are reasonable. I recommend visiting this architectural wonder.

Surprisingly wonderful repurposing of an industrial site as a cultural centre. The juxtaposition of the buildings and metalwork with reclaiming nature is striking, and we could have easily have spent hours more wandering around than we had the time for during our visit. Easy to dismiss at a glance on the internt but remarkably affecting in person. Very glad we stopped to see it.

This made for a fascinating few hours. It's all quiet now but you can imagine the noise, heat and dust when it was operating. It has been very skilfully transformed into a coal museum and there is a large area to wander around by the coking plant.

Very nice zoo and the 🐬 show made the experience even better. We had a really great time there and I could recommend it even for families with smaller kids because the zoo is not too big so it is convenient for small legs 😅 (our four-year old walked all the way by himself with no complaints). However, overall I have to give "only" four stars because we were not very satisfied with the food possibilities. It's maybe common for Germany generally to have such a food service and options but from our experience from many zoos in different European countries, it was unfortunately the worst.

There quite a lot of variety animals! we can watch them closely name boards towards Dolphinarium is not great, it was difficult to find it and hence we missed the show! - one star minus there are only snack and mini cafe, no proper restaurant inside - which is why one star less parking lots are here and there, come by 11am to make it useful! the pic is the view from inside the zoo towards Autobahn! Close shot of lions! At one corner they have Domestic animals like pigs , rabbits 🐇 etc Candid pics of animals are shot by me with CanonM50

We’ve been to the Duisburg Zoo a few times now, and it’s always a fun experience. There’s a wide variety of animals, including some unique ones like koalas and a wombat. Some parts of the zoo feel a bit dated, but you can clearly see that they are working on renovating several enclosures, which is great to see. The highlight of the zoo is definitely the dolphin show — it’s very well done and always a pleasure to watch. All in all, it’s a nice zoo that we’ll happily visit again!

Quite cool zoo. Positive: nice variety of animals. All are well fed and taken care. Surrounded by a green, natural and beautiful environment. The delfinarium is fun. You could see tigers, gorillas, giraffes, red pandas, elephants and many more. Toilets and restaurants are available. The price is not that bad. Negative: the parking is 1 km away, at least. You have to walk through a path that is next to a highway where cars go fast. It doesn't feel too convenient if you go with kids. The day fee is 5€ and you have to pay in cash at the entrance.

Don’t miss the dolphin show. We enjoyed the visit. However, 500 ml water battle will cost 4.5 euros.

That was awesome. Very huge area. Need 3-4 hours minimum. My advice - take your time, make a plan, have a fun. Don't miss the delphinium show.

Ticket price is 20 Euro per adult including Dolphin Show. Various Animals and birds are available. Dolphin show was awesome. Enjoyed a lot.

What a wonderful place to get exercise, see a great view of the town (I went at sunset!), and have some FUN! This is an interactive sculpture that is a walkable "roller-coaster" (minus the rollers). I uploaded a video of doing the walk on my youtube and sped it up to give it the 'roller-coaster' feel for funsies. Make sure you wear pants under your skirt! As the walkway of the sculpture is metal-mesh and not all solid. Be careful on windy days... Other than that, it's a great place to take pictures! When you enter, you can choose to go right or left. The right side is the longer way. Either way, you have to return back to the beginning going back the way you came, so it doesn't matter which way you choose first -- you can go both ways. There are gates preventing you from accessing the "upside down" part of the loop (obviously for safety reasons). At the base of the sculpture, there are a few benches to sit on. There is also a trashbin near the benches. There's a short hike up an easy incline up a hill to reach the spot from the nearest tram stop. There are also a couple "shortcuts" that cut through the wooded area -- but maybe you need a local to show you where they are... xD When you get off the tram, just follow the paved road to the top and you won't get lost. (Be sure to keep track of the tram time schedule so that you can plan your trip accordingly!) Oh! BTW it is totally FREE! Like most best things in life are sposto be.... yey. Enjoy Germany!

A very nice experience. You can take a walking trail around in nature. On the paths between the trees. When you go up there is an interesting facility like an amusement park. You can go up the stairs but you can't go down the other side. You have to go down the side you go up. Because there is a part in the middle where you can't go. At night the lights come on and you see the sunset. A spectacular sight.

Great, different, free! A walkable roller coaster, only the looping sections were blocked because you can't walk upside down! 😂 The walk up in complete darkness at first (at night 🌃) was a bit spooky 👻 but was well rewarded. 🎢💡

Free of cost.. Beautiful scenic view Lovely long walk and cycle paths of around 1.5 km to reach point once u deboard the tram.. Loop is not accessible it is upto a certain point one can go. Best time to visit is during sunset or sunrise.. look good when lights are turned on.

It was free!!! Had a great scenic experience. Would say the best time to go is just before sunset and when there aren't a lot of people (the more people...the more vibration)

Nice little place to visit. It’s a 15-20 minute walk up the path before you actually reach the metal walkway structure. It has a nice feel about the place and the views are great.

Simple yet unique and creative sculpture. Amazing integration of history and art. The views were amazing, especially during the sunset. It's definitely a must visit place with kids. There's a slope to reach there, and if you don't like walking around, there's a direct route as well, which is a sort of trek (2 mins). It's free of cost to visit. The nearest grocery store is around 1 km away. Best place to spend some quality time with oneself or with family and friends.

Very nice themed park. My kids (8, 12 and 18years old) all had a great day with the rides and shows. Not completely five stars though. The drinks are quite expensive. The food is reasonably priced. So a tip is to bring your own drinks. Further more, all rides close half an hour before closing time and some only open at 11 even though the park is open at 10. But all in all a great day out. The park is not very big in lay-out, so it is easy to go from one place to the other. Also the waiting times are not ridiculously long as in other parks.

We had purchased the tickets at a discounted price of 29€ and visited on Saturday. We reached early at the opening time and were lucky to not face long queues at most rides. Best thing about this amusement park is that it has rides for all age groups so no one feels left out and most of the rides are super fun. We loved it to the bits and would happily visit it again.

Make sure you buy your tickets online and not at the gate as you’ll save about €20. Had a great day, did lots of attractions in only a few hours. Studio tour the ride was our favourite with some great theming and effects. It’s a fun park but for someone who’s done many Disney and Universal studios parks it lacks a little in its up keep but I don’t think that’s the parks fault but likely down to the guests as some of the details in the ques look quite worn down.

Very nice theme park in Germany. We been there with my colleagues last spring. Its not so big place but the attractions were compact and you can go in every rides for whole day. Its not also crowded and you dont need to wait for long lines to go in every attractions Also the rides are exciting and fun.

We had a family trip to the movie park. It was an amazing experience. Suitable for all ages. We were. Group of adults, a 5 years old, and a 10 years old. Everyone had an activity suitable for their age. From breathtaking rollercoasters, to family shows, to kids plays. The best thing was that we didn't need to stand hours long on the queue for each ride. Highly recommend!

This is the best adventure experience I’ve ever had in my life so far. No words to express my excitement and joy. I enjoyed it a lot. I hope to go there someday soon again.

I went on a Sunday with my boyfriend and, even though it was full, it was an wonderful experience! I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks because everything is very expensive here. One suggestion - put the maximum heights in ALL the attractions. My boyfriend is 2,06m tall and he found, sometimes after waiting 45 minutes in line, that he couldn’t fit the attraction cars (even though they didn’t have a maximum height published at the entrance).

Awesome people, fantastic teaching, superb experience! Loved everything about it. Thank you so much. I had a blast ... :)

Good brunch. Nice people.

Excellent!

Challenging golf course!

Ok

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful round of golf on a very beautiful course. It was very well maintained and varied, it was great fun to play.....clear game recommendation 😊. The secretariat has a very friendly gentleman at the counter who stays in a good mood even during leisure breaks...we'll be back next year 👍 (Original) Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Golfrunde auf einem sehr schönen Platz.

I recently visited Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord and was completely amazed by how an old steel factory was transformed into such a creative and inspiring public space. The combination of industrial ruins, greenery, and open access made it feel like walking through a giant outdoor museum. Climbing up the old blast furnace was a highlight – the view over the Ruhr area is fantastic! I also loved how peaceful it was despite being such a popular spot. The lighting at night is magical and gives the whole park a completely different vibe. This is a perfect spot for photographers, families, history lovers, or just anyone who enjoys exploring unusual places. And it’s free! Highly recommended if you're in the area.

It's a huge public park full of factories, machines, an old railway, a theater and a windmill. It just show you the history of The industrial part of the country. It's a great place for photos and sports since You'll walk a lot and climb many stairs. You can ride a bike or walk your dogs too. There's a small cafe at the entrance and some public bathrooms.

Landschaftspark Duisburg is an amazing place to visit. It is a former industrial site turned into a beautiful park. The old steel structures look impressive, especially when lit up at night. There are many activities like climbing, walking, and exploring the old factory buildings. The park is well-maintained and has great photo spots. It is perfect for families, friends, and photographers. I had a wonderful time and would love to visit again.

One of the most extraordinary things I've visited. You can walk from the bottom right up to the top of one of the blast furnaces, stopping at various levels to see how it worked. The views from the top are incredible. There is no fixed route and we just wandered around, but if you wanted an order to it, start from behind the gas tank and head for the bunkers, where you'll "find" the walkway which takes you along them, to the bottom of the visitable blast furnace. There isn't much signage, but actually that's one of the nice things about this place.

Day is good for if you want to climb up to the top of the factory, night for the light and spooky vibe, the evening is great for the view, i like the iron slide they have for children and adult.

How nice that people turned industrial heritage into cultural future! Nice that one can climb up to the highest point! Good view! Also the cafe is nice to have a drink or eat something...

Lovely place to walk around. There are signs to explain the different structures left from when it was a factory. Sunset from blast furnace #5 is so pretty.

This is a great place to either have fun, work out or relax. The fun bath is great for kids to play in with slides to choose from for any age group. They also have a fast flowing circular pool. That portion of the facility is also interestingly decorated line a tropical island. There is also a 25 meter pool to swim laps. Just make sure you aren't there when the local schools are using the lap pool. The wellness area is great to relax in with massage services and various saunas to choose from.

Visited this water park with my partner on a Sunday in Summer, so as expected we had to wait in line to get in. However, the checkout could be more efficiently managed, so that waiting time could have been reduced. I liked that they put large sun umbrellas outside so the people waiting in line could have some shade. Overall it's a nice water park. Its design creates a good atmosphere and there's a lot of variety in the pools and opportunities to spend time there. As others have mentioned before, it was too crowded in most pools to swim. Maybe a limit on customers would work better. We still had a lot of fun and I'm sure if it was less crowded I might have given it a better review. However my main complaints are with the slides: The rules on the slides were too vague. We weren't sure if they were okay to use for two adults at the same time, but everyone else also did and the signs on the slides didn't forbid it, so we did as well. If it's intended to be used like this, the slide with the swim rings should be be able to be used by two adults without the rings flipping over in the turns. I'm not sure exactly what did it, whether it was my partner's height or that we weren't heavy enough, but the ring flipped over with us mid-slide and I hit my knee and foot on the bottom of the slide, which then hurt when bending or putting too much pressure on it. The yellow slide that goes dark for parts of the ride didn't have enough water pouring into it so if you just go down the slide without being wet enough (which can happen if you have to wait in line for a long time and it's very warm), you might end up stuck in complete darkness and stop moving, having to push forward with your hands and feet until you're out. I panicked a little when this happened and I was scared that someone would slide right into us because the red light / green light indicating if you can slide or not didn't work properly at multiple times throughout the day. Food was nice, the menues could have more sauce for the portion of fries included though. Would visit this again, but probably only on business days or in winter.

Good place to pass 3-4 hours All alides are for all ages Great pools: Whirlpool Hot and salty (36 c) Jaccuzi Bubbles , waterfalls etc... I think it is great for children 4 to 12 Parking is free if you get in Lots of copuns on groo - find them and its a bargain...

Not recommended if you have a ruhr top card or planning to buy offline ticket there. Unfortunately, there management is worst. No online reservation possible and they only allow persons with online ticket. Others have to wait for hours in queue. We waited for 2.5 hr, that too on a weekday. Only 2 rides inside.

If you are trying to go relax then it's the wrong place unless you are going to the sauna, Full with little miss behaving kids, parents bring their kids to the Salt pool and disrupt your peace even tho there is a Sign clearly asking to keep quiet... but if you are trying to go have fun with your children, then this is a place to be in Dorsten. It's a nice fun pool with 3 big slides, outdoor pools, and more. The food court is nothing special and kinda over priced for the food quality.

I am sorry but I can say nothing positive. This place is not bad, but does not care about the fact so many people want to enter. It does not limit the nr of people and result is just akward. Queues outside + no parking. Inside - no space for changing cabins. In the water - all like sardines in compote. You are being hit and bumped simply because the people inside are at least 3 times more than should be. No single space where to leave your luggage or towel. Big families simply occupying huge tables as if it is their own. One single place for food - where queues are no less. If something happens (God forbid) there is no a chance a swimming guard can even notice someone drowning. I am quite disappointed. When we left around 16:00 a new huge queue of 50 people were waiting to enter.

A great place to enjoy with kids. Parking is free if you are lucky to get a place. We reached in the afternoon by 1 o clock and the parking was full. Place was little bit crowded but it was fun. It has 4 water slides, an artifical whirlpool, kids pool with 2 small slides and sprinklers, jaccuzi, cold and hot indoor and outdoor pools. It also has a wellness centre with Sauna but we did not explore it. One nice deep pool for swimmers too. You can also buy food from the cafe with nice seating arrangements. 4 to 5 hours can be easily spend with family. Entry fees is 14 Euros per person which is worth it, and entry is free if you have a Ruhr top card.

Very nice spa! It was really busy but it didn't feel packed at all. Even though it's quite small there are a lot of different saunas and all of them are great. The food is good, although a little expensive. The pool is great and the view of nature is very chill. Great sauna to relax at!

Super sad 😭... We are couple from other countrie and we have bad experience with this spa. Germany people so angry. We can accept what they are without clothes but we want to choose to wear clothes. All people start shout on us when we try to go in pool and when we go to sauna some people close dors and say you need to wait. About people inside it was full spa and reception said it's less people like usual. So we go out after 10min...

Beautiful wellness centre with many different types of saunas. Food is ok, except a lot comes from the deep fryer. That's a shame as the piece of salmon I ordered, was a lovely piece but very greasy as a result.

There are about 8 saunas, a steam room and a couple of chill rooms in this place. All slightly different, with complementary specials like scrubs, hamams and pouring sessions hourly. The food & drinks in the restaurant are of great quality. The personnel was exceptionally friendly. We spent about 9 hours here and all in all it was a very good experience to which we will come back. On the downside, people are allowed to smoke in outside areas and will step right back into the resting rooms, the steam bath and the sauna with you, which to the non-smoker smells terrible. To the sauna I’d recommend: - soft music in the resting rooms (to cover the sound of snoring people and rustling of people coming and going) - an airfreshner in resting rooms to cover up the smell of smokers using the blankets that are present - a recommendation to shower after smoking before stepping into a sauna/steam bath again.

A great place .quiet big with so many things to do i was there for 5 hours and could have stayed longer but had another appointment. Opgieting with honey , salt scrub ,hit with a bunch of herbs ( wasnt painful lol ) menthol.fruit with a tast of fruit before it began .and coffee and cake for €3.95 after 15.30 big outside whirlpool plus hydrojets and a hymalayan salt room ( good for decongestant ) atmosphere friendly and relaxed i went alone and didnt feel out of place

Such a charming and peaceful park! The animals looked well cared for and had plenty of space to roam. I loved how close you could get to some of them—it really made the visit feel personal and interactive. The setting is very natural, with lots of trees and greenery, which made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable.

Dissgusting, horrible, creepy place. Waste of money and time. They might to make a horror movie here without any preparation. Looks like little zoo 30 years ago, where animals are sad and extremly unhappy. Can’t belive that they ask money for it. Don’t go there if you don’t want to get angry of yourself, that you spent any time in the place which should be closed and never open again. Stinky, dirty, after the rain - mud until knees. The toilet 🤮🤮. Place to change a diper for a baby - I left faster that I came in🤮🤮. The playground for kids looking like on the pictures from Prypec in Chernobyl. Horrible place!!! I don’t have more pictures, becuase I wanted to leave as fast as possible.

We visited this beautiful nature park during the week day so it wasn't as busy but really a very cute zoo but the playground was the biggest deal for our children. So much fun and different activities! We absolutely had a lovely time and would come back again

Nice place to bring your kid, lot of fun simple and natural. Lot of games and the animals are super interesting for the kids. Bad side, too many people smoking inside (I mean, it a place full of kids)

This park was worth visiting especially with kids and they will definitely love it. We visited this park in August and loved the atmosphere there! Pros: 1.it was crowd free and my daughter (also us) had enough time to really stand, feed them and spend some time with each and every animals. she was excited to the core when she had an opportunity to pet the sheeps. 2. Apart from farm animals, the have a huge play area where one can sit, relax while the kids enjoy the play area. 3. Also have a barbecue area where you can book it and bring your stuffs and enjoy the grill Cons: 1. food: There are only two places inside the park in which one is like kiosk where you can get only würst and beverages, whereas the other is the place you can get pommes, würst, chicken nuggets, some pastries and hot/cold beverages. In my point, i would except more kids friendly menu. 2. Been there twice, i some how feel that animals are hungry all the time.

Nice to visit, has a big playground with a mix of new and old play equipment. Picnic places, good swings, lots of climbing frames. Price was good and animals ok. Everything seems a little warn but still not bad enough to spoil the day.

Old fashioned but nice little zoo. They have animals from five continents like squirrel monkeys, foxes, sheep, geese, deers, alpaca's, nandu's, camels and emu's. There is a 'snake house' with a variety of snakes and spiders. For the children there is a rather big playground.
