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.

Beautiful viewpoint overlooking the water, the bridge, and there’s even a restaurant. There’s also a small ironworks on site that you can visit. Free to visit & park, would recommend! Don’t park down the road, that’s actually survive off the fittest level parking. Park on the big parking down the big road. It’s the second exit near this maps-pin.

Oldest iron except that I didn't find anything interesting .

Beautiful serene place.

Great Brücke !!

Great place for hiking and biking tours .

Beautiful, especially when you're interested in engineering and technical/mechanical stuff

Beautiful place

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.

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!!🙌

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.

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 .

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.

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!

Seems like a great place for if there are events going on. We went on a non event day, and there were just a few open shops. Tours of the castle are only in German, with a rough translation page available in English. It was a beautiful castle on the outside but we only got to see a few rooms inside, and as it is still lived in by the family a fair amount of discussion was about the family.

Burg Satzvey is a beautiful castle nestled in the hills near Koln. They have fantastic Medieval festivals and Jousts there. I highly recommend attending one!

A hidden gem in the region. Beautiful facade of the castle makes for amazing pictures. Must visit! Check whether there are any activities before hand at the castle so that you can plan accordingly. Spend time around the lake and you will observe the family of otters swimming or laying around 😉

Dunkelbunter Sommermarkt was absolutely lovely! I greatly enjoyed myself Very accessible with public transport

Every year during spring time, the castle offers a few medieval festivals. We visited the witchfest/Hexenfest. One can actually buy ticket earlier and safe abt EUR2, or buy on the spot. The parking costed EUR3. We had to walk about 10 mins to the castle. The walkway was not babystroller friendly. The atmostphere could have been more 'witchy'. There were many stalls selling food and merchandise. There was also owl and hawk on exhibit for petting.

A beautiful castle. Even though it was closed when I visited it I was glad I went. The main reason I visit castles is for the architecture and feel of them anyway, so I enjoyed my short stroll around. So it must worth it when the activities are on! There is an open air museum nearby so you could easily visit the castle and the museum in a day if you don't spent all day at either, which is what I did and recommend.

We have been there for middle age festival once and the organization was pretty successful. Kids enjoyed it a lot and for me the no 1 reason is flammlachs and the take away food you may only find in these kind of festivals. If you plan to visit prefer mittelaltermarkt and watch the shows of knights on horses👍

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s my first time to visit from other branch of GOP same as my colleagues. We are so glad that we get the warm welcome from the staff with professional and hospitality. From the managers down to the service staff . We really love the food was serve from us in the restaurant with the care of Sabine, thanks to you 😊. Nothing to complain big thanks to the kitchen staff as well ☺️. Inside the Theater the show was so fantastic and entertaining 👏😘Big Love Team ❤️thumbs up 👏👏😘. And lastly thanks to our great server Parwiz ☺️. Thank you GOP Essen Team for the care and professional service. We will sure come back 🌸🌸🌸 ( Visited Oct. 15,2025)

Some friends from Essen took us here in 2014 and we come back 2 or 3 times a year its just so much a great night out entertainment is amazing we go home with sore sides from laughing and contented tummies from the great food

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner and amazing show at our company Christmas function

Every show has it's own personality, every time we are there it feels like first time, waiters are also kind and fast. Five stars.

Me and my daughter love this place. We came for show and we are never disappointed.

A nice atmosphere to unwind and to watch artistic people on stage. We enjoyed and laughed a lot.

Very nice show. Picture some cirque de soleil meets offbeat Swiss comedy during the intermissions.

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

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.

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.

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

Top

(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. Er war sehr gepflegt und abwechslungsreich, hat großen Spaß gemacht ihn zu spielen.....klare Spielempfehlung 😊. Das Sekretariat hat einen sehr freundlichen Herrn an der Theke , der auch bei leisure break seine gute Stimmung behält....wir kommen nächstes Jahr wieder 👍

Very pretty town square. A few good refreshment options.

Nice marketplace with a good array of shops and stands. Ate some very nice Kibbeling at the fish stand and drank some delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream at a cafe. Would recommend visiting of you are near Xanten.

Always a great place to visit, shop and eat. This time ice cream at the Eiscafe.

Small towns with urban mix are marvellous.

We were there for the Christmas market. As a bonus, there was an art show and sale in the Rathaus, which we enjoyed. We like to be in Xanten in all seasons.

We were in Xanten for the first day of the Christmas markets. The square was full of stalls, gastronomy and gifts. Lots of tables and places to sit. The rising cost of living can also be felt here: the price of glühwein is €4, a Waffel with Nutella €4, a Crêpe with Nutella €4.50

Just a super place. Great for the whole family.

Magnificent cathedral built in between 11 and 12 centuries. Inside of the cathedral you will find amazing wood carved artwork and stone work that can be dated back to 18 and 19 centuries! The stone works on the outside of the cathedral also as magnificent as well. The crucifixion of the Christ with two criminal next to our Christ in the courtyard also is a master piece too! There are different languages booklet/literature that you can pickup to understand the history of the cathedral Soon as you walked into it! Also a media booth you can watch a film regarding the cathedral also. The center garden also is the place you don’t want to miss out on it.

The story of the church goes back to Roman times when a soldier named Victor and serving in a Roman legion refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods. He was supposedly executed for this and later his bones were recovered and buried in a chapel in this place. The church now stands roughly in the place where the chapel once stood. The inside has beautiful carved wooden panels with religious moitifs In front of the church are some nice sculptures

An amazing Cathedral. Beautiful and historic. I spent hours here in total amazement.

Beautiful place. Easily accessible.

The old ancient roman city xanten is beautiful small town in Nrw Germany holding an ancient history of Romans. It has a beautiful cathedral which is second largest cathedral in Nrw after the köln.

Wonderful and historic . I recommend anyone to see hier

Beautiful landmark with parking place from a short walking distance.

Great experience to relive the Roman period in Germany, from before year 0 until year 500. Seeing how the large city evolved prospered and eventually fell apart under siege from the Frankish tribes. Wander thru the Colosseum, up and down the embankment and fortified walls, stroll along the paths thousands of Romans walked before you and learn stuff in the museum. Well worth a day's visit!

Amazing! For 11 Euros per adult and children for free, a great price. A huge, beautiful park with so much to see and do. If you like Roman artifacts and history it is a must!

I was on Xanten Archaeological Park for a first time on my life. IT was amazing experience for me. The most I enjoyend the colosseum its fantastic feeling when u are there u can feel the history:). The museum is also very good with the few floors and a lot od ancient artefakts. So when u will have oportunity to go there Just do IT as is realny amazing place for a trio.

Incredibly large area (site of a Roman city) with wonderful recreations of the buildings. The car park at the main entrance needs a parking card and is only for 4 hours - you may need more time!! Play areas (massive fort and bouncy thing) for young people.

A wonderful day spent in this archaeological park. Lots of beautiful reconstructions that evoke the life of the Romans in the former Colonia Ulpia Traiana. Especially the colosseum and the temple. It's huge! The reconstructions are still being done, so it's worth coming again. There's a lot to walk around. But also to see. The trees in the park are well trimmed, so there's no shade, but they will grow. The paths are the main roads of the former Ulpia. At the other end is a large and very rich and beautifully decorated museum and the remains of the thermal baths.

A History museum done right. Experimental architecture is thé best way to help people imagine the past. The archaeological Museum Xanten shows how it can be done. Even though this might not be for everyone, for those interested in history, with all levels of prerequisite knowledge, it's a great visit. The (partial) reconstruction of the houses, the amphitheater and the temple are great and I particularly enjoyed the ship building shed. The museum is a nice visit as well with information available in English, German or Dutch.

LVR Archaeological Park Xanten in Germany's largest archaeological open-air museum invites you to an exciting excursion into history. Impressive buildings such as the harbor temple and the amphitheater, residential buildings and bathing facilities provide vivid insights into life in Roman Germania. In addition, the award-winning LVR-RömerMuseum, excavations and activities to participate offer a variety of incentives to approach Roman times with all your senses. For children, the meadows and large playgrounds offer many opportunities to let off steam and discover. Good value for money and reasonably priced selection of food, drinks coffee also fair prices. Really good place for kids. Playing area very clean and beautiful 😻 my kids and other kids also really enjoyed! Thank you so much for your good maintenance.

Good place with nice amenities. Food was ok and the staff is very Friendly.

As a happy golfer, I felt really unhappy about the experience here in Golfanlage Haus Bey, not because of the difficulties, not because of the very narrow tees, but there are too many insects, flies, mosquitos and very smelly at the parking spot... If you are a new golfer, for 18-tee, please bring at least 30 balls with you, otherwise it will be very difficult to finish the journey. If your HCP is less than 15, then please ignore my review and challenge yourself there : )

Helpful and friendly staff, well-kept course, tasty food at the restaurant.

Good 18 holes. Decent difficulty. Green conditioning could be better.

Super Fairways!!

Best excellent

(Translated by Google) The lady in the secretariat and the marshal were very friendly and we exchanged ideas over a cafe. We found a very well-kept place that was fun to play. Tactics are often required here, as there was a lot of water to cover in different forms. Some narrow canals, some larger ponds and small lakes. Since everything was overgrown with reeds, it was difficult to estimate the distance. The place had its challenges, which we personally really liked. The courses were varied and in top condition, as were most of the greens. After the "work" was done, there was a wheat meal on the very nice terrace. Price-performance was absolutely fine for us. We would love to come back. (Original) Die Dame im Sekretariat und der Marshall waren sehr freundlich und bei einem Cafe tauschten wir uns aus. Wir haben einen sehr gepflegten Platz vorgefunden, der Spaß machte zu spielen. Hier ist oft Taktik gefragt, da viel Wasser in unterschiedlicher Form zu überspielen war. Teils schmale Grachten, mal größere Teiche und kleine Seen. Da alles mit Schilf bewachsen war konnte man schwer die Entfernung einschätzen. Der Platz hatte also seine Herausforderungen, was uns persönlich sehr gut gefiel. Die Bahnen waren abwechslungsreich und top in Schuss, ebenfalls die meisten Grüns. Nach getaner "Arbeit" gab es ein Essen mit einem Weizen auf der sehr schönen Terrasse. Preis-Leistung war für uns absolut in Ordnung. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Beautiful nature, wonderful shaded forest with clearly marked pathways to walk your dogs. Shaded parking, lovely restaurant. A magical place, lots of wild mushrooms.

We have been there 4 times and each walking route is different. You can easily spend a whole day here. The only negative is the many cyclists.

It's a great location for a walk in nature. Loads of trails and a wonderful view. I'm looking forward to our next visit. As we enjoy the outdoors and nature. This place had what we expected and more. I recommend it for the entire family and friends.

Lovely place to walk , cycle or take trip with horse carriage. Also the restaurant is quite a nice place with good selection. For kids some adventure play equipment.

Extensive hiking and biking. Interesting geology and natural history. Quiet. Remnants of the 1879 railroad (The Iron Rhine, from Antwerp to Mönchengladbach) and the in 1962 aborted coal mine (State Mine Beatrix). Pleasant cafe at entrance (De Boshut), convenient for its facilities.

A very nice (small) National Park to explore. Lots of different landscapes.

Great natural park to have a walk or a ride

Very nice and friendly personal. It was very nice to visit at Sunday because it wasn't busy at all. Hopefully they will build an audio or video tour to become more part of what Cuyper build from furniture to whole buildings.

Surprisingly nice and inspiring place to visit when in Roermond! If you like sketches, architecture and the real ambacht. This place you definitely need to visit. Love how they go back to basics from sketch until the real result and they also have some areas where you can practice and learn. Very nice!

You will learn a lot about architecture in the Netherlands in a museum that is made with a lot of thought and effort.

#29Roermond if your a fan of Cuypers then of course you have to come here. Nice little gift shop and a cafe when you enter. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The building is from Cuypers too (1853). I quiet like the Celtic and medieval motifs in his work and thought I'd see more of that which I didn't, but I did learn a lot about the complete works if Cuypers. #railthetrails

The museum tells the story of Pierre Cuypers and his importance for Dutch architecture. Friendly staff, treasure hunt for the little ones. And the building itself is beautiful.

It was whimsical experience. Loved every single little detail ❤️

Visiting Roermond, this place seemed like a must go. We've been there, asking how long is the tour. The reception was only willing to sell ticket. It was 30 minutes before the closing time, the tour is more than one hour, we were asking to the reception how long is the tour, and still, the reception only wanted to sell ticket. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit, the ticket is... [forgotten price] - Do we have time to see everything ? - If you want to visit, the ticket is.... [forgotten price] This was the conversation during 10 minutes, when suddenly, by somekind of miracle, the reception says that the museum will close very soon, and we'll have no time for everything.... So, let me ask you something. Was it me speaking bad English ? Was the employee speaking bad English ? What's the point of selling a ticket as you know that people will have no time for the complete tour ? Are you scammers ? Because of this, we removed the museum from our to-do list. We also warn people about this place not being 100% honest. If one day, you become 100% honest, maybe we'll come back. Otherwise, good luck with your scam.

What a fantastic experience. Didn't realise there would be so much on display. Can definitely recommend the museum

Great job preserving the history of RAF Laarbruch.

Nice small museum. Great for aviation and military history lovers. Tickets in cash only but great for €3,-

Nice small museum to tell the history of the RAF period and the German period before it closed and later became a commercial field. Nice exhibition, very friendly staff. It's not large, it can even be combined while flying from and to a holiday destination.

RAF museum is lovely and worth of visit. If anyone is crossing around, make a stop here and come see the great history of this place🫶🫶

Nice museum!! It tells the complete history of this RAF base during the Cold War. The personel is very kind and has a lot of knolage and show interest in the visitor. Thank you for a geat afternoon!!

Stationed here 1977-80. A great posting. Weeze was great and miss the Jaga snitzels and Mama's chicken. I used to do 3 countries on my 4days off. Would love to visit museum...

It's quite a climb and you're not able to go all the way to the top. It does give you a sweet view of Kleve. If you're into rocks, its very cool. Admission is very affordable

A beautiful castle in the heart of Kleve that also consists of the Amtsgericht as well as the museum. The views from the top of the museum are really amazing. I would recommend checking the opening times of the museum before planning a trip. It's about 15 min walk from the train station to reach this castle.

The Schwanenburg in Kleve, Germany, is a captivating historical landmark steeped in centuries of history. Its imposing structure and commanding presence make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers alike. From its well-preserved fortifications to the panoramic views from the top, every aspect of the Schwanenburg tells a story of the city's past. Whether you're exploring the castle grounds or marveling at its exterior, the Schwanenburg offers a glimpse into Kleve's rich cultural heritage that's not to be missed.

It’s closed on Witmonday. It’s a peaceful place to go.

Very nice castle in the center of Kleve

Nice historical place to visit in Cleve. It's only small remained part of old tower. There is possibility to go upstairs to the top of the tower. On the top of the Swan tower there are few levels were geological museum is placed. As well from the top you can see nice views of Cleve an surround places

The view is interesting with good weather. The tower contains several floors with archeological pieces, historical descriptions of Kleve and, of course, maps and explanations about the surroundings of Kleve which can seen in the nice view from the upper floor. Entrance is only 2 euros per person!

Nice zoo, a bit small but the price is good. The animals are very nearby, you can take good pictures. Free parking with charging station. The food stores were a bit limited. You can buy tickets beforehand or at the spot (the lady speaks Dutch). They also sell a box with food that you can give to the animals.

Not to big, but nice little hidden zoo, easily to miss and drive by. Spacious enclosures and has a real "parc" feel to it. Nice to spend a few hours in between shopping or something.

Really enjoyable zoo experience! Not your common zoo animals as its more of a big farm animal zoo. Loads of goat species and different birds. An older place but very well maintained. Only downpart is: no seals anymore.

What a wonderful find! This place is so nice to walk around. I went with my husband but its fantastic for children. You can feed the animals and its clear which ones you can and can't feed. They have so many animals that are easy to see and such a wide variety. The animals are well looked after. A superb day out that's great value for money.

Beautifully designed zoo with a great variety of animals, including red pandas, camels, horses, donkeys, cows, eagles, armadillos, and more. The place is very clean and well-maintained. You can even buy food for kids to feed some of the animals, which is a fun experience. Plenty of benches to sit and relax, and the toilets are well-kept. Highly recommended for a family visit. Four adults and a kid costs £38

Really liked it here. Very friendly staff. A lot of animals which can also be visited in their areas. Not only goats but also sheeps, the prairie dogs and Alaca's. And of course not to forget about the soo cute red panda. And, yes we appreciated and used the dogs day.

Small zoo but good value for money. Also lot less crowded then the big zoo's so enough room to have a clear view of all the animals. There's also the ability of feeding quite some of the animals when you buy a feeding pack at the entrance. 👍
