The museum features a diverse collection with changing exhibitions of global modern art, including pieces from the COBRA group and artists like Alechinsky, Appel, Picasso, Raveel, and Roel D'Haese. Set amidst picturesque surroundings by the river Gudenaen and lush forests, the museum offers visitors a serene experience.
Really beautiful museum. Didn't know about this artist but thanks to the museum, I have come to learn about him. Highly recommend if you need something to do. It was perfect for a rainy day. There's a café and museum store.
Fatima B — Google review
Museum Jorn is a quiet and small museum. It can be an enjoyable stop for those interested in Asger Jorn’s style. Some of the works are quite interesting and unique, and overall, the museum has a different kind of atmosphere. If you have time in Silkeborg, it’s worth a visit.

AQUA Aquarium & Wildlife Park

Zoo
Nature & Parks
AQUA Aquarium & Wildlife Park is a small yet charming establishment that showcases Danish habitats through its interactive aquarium and park, featuring various native animals and nature exhibitions. The environment is cozy and geared towards children with an excellent playground that includes educational water machines. In addition to the fish, visitors can also see otters, beavers, and other cute animals in the mini zoo area. The premises also offer food options at their cafe.
A fun place with nice exhibits and many interesting and cool animals to observe. Information is also displayed nicely and in an easy-to-learn format. A couple of hours at minimum, even half a day can be spent here with ease.
Máté S — Google review
♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = medium size There are many parking lots in front of the building where you can park and the entrance is big enough for wheelchair users. The main building has a souvenir area, AQUA and outside there are several animals and a massive playground. The Aqua building is a bit of a let down if you don't speak danish. Most of the floors are only in the danish language. The outside has like 19 different animals and every hour some of the animals are fed by the zookeeper's. They are also telling more about the backstory of the animal. The entire park is accessible by a wheelchair but the only thing you may want to keep in mind that the sand walking path can be soft at times beEventually you will come across a big water playground for the kids and I'm talking around the size of one animal place, which makes This place amazing for kids if they have swimming clothes. One thing I don't understand is why the snacks and the ice cream shop is only open on the weekend. They are missing out on a lot of money by having the shops closed because of the kids and the big playground. Most families have 2+ kids. They have free WIFI. I have seen everything in 3 hours but it may be possible for you to do less making it debatable if the entry price seems fair or a bit too expensive (especially if you don't understand the danish language in the AQUA)
Crafo — Google review
It is not that big but the water play is very amazing. They called it a aquarium zoo but not much fish nor not much animal Instead the design for water plan is very nice, based on the environment of the beaver, which is the animal you see. Their website can improve on more info on English and also let parents know to bring bathing suits
Hector W — Google review
Go on a sunny day if you have children — then it’s probably a 5-star place to be. Most of the park is outdoors, and they have a big playground, which is fantastic for kids. Everything is based around water mechanics, so bring some swimwear! Why it was a 3-star place for us: we don’t have children (yet), so we came for the animals and to learn something. In the aquarium, as a foreigner, you’ll need a good internet connection for Google Translate because everything is in Danish… The upper floor looked educational, but I had no idea what it was trying to tell me. I found one monitor that could switch to English, but it failed to load. Outside, there is some English on the signs, which helped a bit. The otter exhibit is so overgrown with vegetation that, with a bit of luck, we saw one — but it ran away immediately. The beaver exhibit was the best part! One of the beavers was swimming while the others, including a few babies, were sleeping — it looked really cozy! All the animals are native to Denmark, so don’t expect any fancy, bright-colored fish. There’s a small parking lot in front of the aquarium. You’ll need some luck to find a spot there.
Justin — Google review
Nice local fauna, animals, and fish display. Many places for children to play, places to eat, and picnic areas.
Alise P — Google review
This place is a hidden gem, especially for anyone interested in local Danish nature. The focus on fauna from the Gudenåen area is both educational and fascinating, and the otters, racoons and beavers are so cute. You can watch the otters being fed and hear how they get there. They also do rescue work and take care of otters needing help. The staff are friendly and welcoming. While the aquarium seems to cater mainly to families with young children, it’s just as enjoyable for adults visiting solo. The eel exhibit, in particular, is both intriguing and a little eerie, making it a standout experience. The location itself is stunning, set in a beautiful area perfect for a peaceful walk by the lakes and river afterward. It's well worth a visit!
Alpár I — Google review
Exhibit for the fish is a bit limited but combined with garden outside makes it worth coming here with children. Also there is a good walking trail along side the lake. Café Dråben is where its extremely disappointing. I dont think the fault is with the teenage girls doing the cooking but rather the ingredients and how the girls were taught to prepare food. One of the worst salads i ate in my life.
F S — Google review
Amazing experience! Instead of going and seeing the standard 'zoo setup', use the experience to see what cute creatures and other animals are living in the forests, rivers here in Europe. Easy to get there, by car or train (I travelled from Aarhus by train). Tickets cost cheaper if bought online and I suggest visiting the centre in morning, around 10:00 then the animals haven't had their breakfast yet and are more active and visible. Timewise - and hour is enough, in case you are in rush, if not, then you can enjoy the park for longer time, there was a space dedicated for children and areas where you can sit down and rest for a while, if needed. Recommend!

FÆNGSLET, a former state penitentiary turned museum, offers interactive exhibits and guided tours led by former inmates. The prison's unconventional history includes prisoners freely roaming in the evenings and working in workshops during the day. Additionally, the venue hosts concerts within its walls for a unique music experience.
We came here during the medieval festival around August every year. They made it looked it really during the medieval era. There were plays,dances and activities for visitors to try. Plenty of drinks and Foods also to taste. Kids will definitely enjoy here ada there were many activities for them and some playgrounds. With plenty of parking space but better to be early as it gets full after lunch already.
Meriam D — Google review
This prison museum was incredibly interesting and left a deep impression. I found every section engaging, with new and informative displays around each corner. The basement was the most impactful part for me — especially the photo of a former prisoner, which really stayed with me. Most of the written information is available in English, making it easy to follow along. However, the films are all in Danish, so keep that in mind if you don’t speak the language. Overall, a powerful and well-designed museum that I definitely recommend visiting.

Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church is a historical site in Denmark that features two runic stones raised by Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth. The larger stone details Harald's conquests and the conversion of Danes to Christianity. These stones are located near a church, protected by glass casing. Visitors can explore the rich history of the area and take a leisurely walk along the promenade.
We had a lovely afternoon at Jelling, looking at the museum and the surrounding area. I recommend 2 hours for everything. It is relatively easy to get there from Copenhagen by train, but book train tickets in advance. The area has been beautifully restored and maintained. The museum is also worth visiting as it gives a very good history of the royalty in Denmark.

Give yourself at least 60-90 minutes to take it in. See the church in the back, we were lucky to hear the organist playing. Many families here with hands on activities. Take a while to explore and read the markers for explanations. Good gift shop too.

Great for a day trip! The museum was very interactive and easy to understand, but not boring or too simple. The staff also was very friendly and helpful. They had information material in Dutch, German and English ready so we also had no language barrier. The exhibition was both in Dutch and English. The gift shop also had a variety of nice goodies

There is a big hill next to a church that you should and can't ignore when you are visiting there. It's a good relaxing sight but the only way to get up on the top of the hill is by walking on the staircase next to the church. There is no flat road, so if you are a bad walker you may want to think twice if you want to go upstairs. There is no bench or sitting place on top of hill. There are some big runic stones Infront of the church you can inspect or Walking over the peaceful graveyard.
Crafo — Google review
Recommended 👍 The Jelling stones (Danish: Jellingstenene) are massive carved runestones from the 10th century, found at the town of Jelling in Denmark. The older of the two Jelling stones was raised by King Gorm the Old in memory of his wife Thyra. The larger of the two stones was raised by King Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, in memory of his parents, celebrating his conquest of Denmark and Norway, and his conversion of the Danes to Christianity.

So culturally this is a very important site for Denmark, really marking the start of the country from both geographic and political position. But it's not exactly exciting.

The Økolariet is an interactive museum with a focus on sustainability. The exhibits highlight topics such as biodiversity and recycling, providing valuable insights into how to save energy and recycle both organic and plastic waste. It's a great place for families and friends to learn about nature and the environment while having fun. The museum offers engaging videos, games, quizzes, and other educational resources that are ideal for children and young people who want to understand the current issues surrounding climate change.
probably the best interactive, science museum I have ever been to! and it’s free! Me and my sister had so much fun really. it’s a shame that not everything can be translated to english, and because of that we didn’t really understand a lot of texts. every exhibition is made so well, the marine one left us speechless!
Wiktoria S — Google review
The science museum is free to enter and you could certainly have a great time in here. The museum seems to be more targeted for a younger audience than for adults who aren't parents. Parents will probably have a good time here with their childrens. I have not seen all of it and left early as I felt like it wasn't meant for me but for kids. Therefore I gave a 3 / medium rating as I didn't saw everything. The place is wheelchair accessible and bad walkers, their is an elevator for those who needs it too. There are several staircases throughout the building and rooms each with their own display. Some rooms are harder to access for wheelchairs users. Make sure to visit this place if you have children or early teen with you!

The Science Museum is a must-visit, especially for families with kids. Best of all, it’s completely free to enter. What makes it special is how interactive it is—children can press buttons, try experiments, and explore hands-on exhibits that bring science to life. It’s fun, educational, and designed to spark curiosity in a way that keeps kids entertained for hours. A fantastic day out and highly recommended!

This is a FREE, fun, interactive learning space! So many topics, concepts and area to explore. It is obviously mostly in Danish, but there are small English translations throughout as well, so not all is lost! Toilets, free WiFi, a little shop, an area where you can swap clothes - bring some clothes to be able to take some. The info you can learn is relevant to every day life and is so interactive!! You could easily spend hours here. It is right across from the train station if you come by train. Very close to the walking street as well. For some reason it is having tantrums when I try to add photos... which is a shame because I took many!!!

LEGOLAND® Billund Resort is a top tourist attraction in Denmark, offering a day of fun for the whole family. The park features themed areas and a miniature world built entirely from Lego bricks. One of its main highlights is Miniland, where visitors can marvel at intricate Lego models of cities and famous landmarks. The resort also boasts an array of thrilling rides, including roller coasters that cater to both kids and adults.
Great for kids and their families. You get the whole Lego experience as soon as you enter. The corridors and rooms are decorated in various lego themes...pirates, knights etc. Table tops, door signs, bathroom tiles all fit the Lego theme. Entry to Legoland is via a walkway from the hotel. Breakfast is good. Lots of options to suit many tastes. The restaurant also caters for dinner as well, with a menu that does offer some Danish food.

Beautiful park, some areas could need a little touch-up / love, but we absolutely loved it. There is something for everyone. I especially adored all the attention to details. A dog bowl in Lego etc. Halloween isn’t really a thing where we’re from, so we were surprised to see the whole park decorated. (Since we forgot that we were going in the week of Halloween) It was a pleasant surprise and made the whole experience feel magical. The prices change when pre ordering tickets depending on date, it was wise to order them with a discount online, the day before we went.

We just visited during the autumn holiday and had an absolute blast on the rides! The atmosphere was great, and we treated ourselves to some delicious churros too 👀 I was also there in summer and had such a fun time - especially on the water-themed rides like the canoe and the pirate boat 💦 Always a great day out! Even during holidays the lines aren’t bad - the longest we waited was about 20 mins. Highly recommended for kids! ✨️
Polina C — Google review
A fantastic place for kids and families! The park is cozy, creative, and full of fun details everywhere you look. I recommend going on a day when it’s less crowded – it makes the experience so much better (we loved being able to walk straight through the queues without waiting). The attractions are varied and suit all ages, from the smallest rides to the bigger roller coasters, and of course the incredible LEGO builds all around the park. It really feels like stepping into another world. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Denmark, and I’d recommend buying your tickets in advance to save time at the entrance.
Alexander P — Google review
This place is so fun my 3 children had a blast. They have many rides that even my 1 year old can go on, providing that we held her in our lap or sat next to her. The rides are diverse, the line ups were not too long. All in all a fantastic experience. Only criticism would be we should have had 2 full days to see everything, it's a lot if you only have 1 day.
Doug G — Google review
We visited in September, and Legoland was a bit of a disappointment. It’s the oldest Legoland, and you can tell - everything looks a bit faded, there’s some cobwebs here and there, and it’s not very clean overall. Inside there’s a great big LEGO store, but the prices are higher than in the Netherlands. It only really makes sense to buy the limited editions - though, to be honest, they’re not particularly exciting either. Overall, if you’re traveling from another country just for Legoland, it might be worth considering other destinations. But don’t forget - there’s also the LEGO House in Billund, and that place is really great.
Olga D — Google review
Fun for a whole day for both small kiddos and adults. Plenty of spaces to sit down and eat the lunch you bring (and you should bring one, because food in the park is expensive). The Atlantis sea world part was very cool with live fish aquariums to look at. We were there on a Friday in October on a mostly cloudy day and it was the perfect amount of people - we only had to queue for the biggest thrill rides and even then only 15min. All other attractions was max 5 minutes wait, so we could even do all rides multiple times if we wanted to. Pay for parking in advance for smoother experience.
Annanas — Google review
Visiting LEGO in Billund is a truly unique experience for both kids and adults who love LEGO bricks. The entire place is filled with creativity, interactive exhibits, and playful energy that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the heart of the LEGO world. There’s also an exclusive shop where you can buy special sets that are sold only here and can’t be found in any other LEGO store worldwide. One of the highlights is the LEGO restaurant, where your menu comes with instructions showing which bricks to assemble to “order” your meal. After building the required combination, you drop the bricks into a box on the table, where the tiny LEGO Chefs take over—and a moment later, your food arrives on a conveyor belt inside a giant LEGO brick. An unforgettable and fun experience that adds even more magic to the visit.

The LEGO House is a vibrant and colorful destination that showcases the brand's building sets, bricks, figurines, and toys. It offers an exceptional experience of creation and fantasy for both kids and adults. The venue is fully accessible for disabled visitors, with all details thought through to ensure a full day of enjoyment. There is a museum downstairs that tells the inspiring history of LEGO. When the weather is good, the house itself becomes a big playground with 2 hours free parking available.
Our boys grew up with Lego & our visit to the Lego House has to be one of our highlights on our trip (visiting from New Zealand). The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. So much fun in exploring and interacting with the various areas. The museum is a must, taking you back the very beginnings of Lego and we recognised the decades our boys were involved with Lego. A must for anyone who has enjoyed Lego over the years, and if you haven’t I’m sure you will still enjoy it.

A really cool place where you can get inspired and enjoy playing with LEGO. Don’t forget to check out the balconies - there’s stuff to see there too. It’s really convenient that you can access all the media you’ve created there with a code from your bracelet and don’t need to save every photo and video separately. Make sure to visit the Mini Chefs restaurant - you’ll need to book in advance, but it’s totally worth it: the food is surprisingly healthy, and the whole presentation and atmosphere are fantastic.

Simply awesome experience, a lot of various, different and interactive activities. All of the center was very bright and beautiful, people working there are like little shiny stars in this sometimes hard world. Definitely worth visiting! Also it was opened when Legoland was in the November break.

Brief but amazing experience around the Lego House store. We stayed for few hours primarily for having dinner at Mini Chef where we shop around while waiting for our table. I particuarly love the mosaic maker section where you can order for your own customize Lego puzzle/mosaic pieces for you to build. It's really a wonderful Lego Billund souvenir choice that you can take home to build and display as keepsake.

Dependant on whether you want a theme park experience vs lego-build experience, this is the better of the two respective lego activities in Billund. The activities and experiences are amazing - builds are huge and well curated, the experiences engage all ages and can be accessed post-visit. The venue and staff are incredibly neuro-affirming too, with low sensory areas and kits available at check-in desks.

You need to come here !!

Located in Kolding's residential northeastern outskirts, the museum features classic artworks from Skagen artists, vibrant modern pieces, and a sculpture garden.

Deepal S — Google review
Trapholt always puts on very interesting exhibitions and Feel me is well worth a visit. Daniel Wurtzel's piece Air Fountain in particular makes the trip exceptional but there are many other wonderful works included which means that you should go. If you have time and spare cash for a visit to the cafe then that's recommended as well. It may seem dear at first glance but you get value for money with good food and sizeable portions. Don't forget to grab a piece of cake if you have room for it (we didn't 😂). After lunch make sure you stick your head out into the lovely grounds which offer rich beds of flowers at the right time of year (we were there in July), and beautiful views of the sea all year round.

I recently visited Trapholt in Kolding with my parents and my girlfriend, and despite not being someone who regularly visits modern art museums, this experience turned out to be a truly pleasant surprise. Trapholt is beautifully located near the water and has a light, open architecture that makes it feel welcoming and easy to explore. The layout of the museum is very visitor-friendly, and it was a joy simply walking through the space. Many of the exhibitions invited a kind of semi-interactive experience, which made the visit feel more engaging and personal. During our visit, we saw two major exhibitions: Michael Kvium – Skyggeteater (Shadow Theatre) and Mie Olise Kjærgaard – Agile Aggressions. Kvium’s work was, as always, thought-provoking and slightly unsettling, exploring the darker sides of human nature through dramatic imagery and strong symbolism. Mie Olise Kjærgaard’s exhibition, on the other hand, felt more abstract and experimental, and it invited us into a colorful and chaotic universe that was both playful and aggressive, in the best possible sense. One of the highlights of the day was visiting the Arne Jacobsen summerhouse, which is an integral part of the museum’s permanent collection. This full-scale house was designed by the famous Danish architect and designer in the 1950s, and walking through it was like stepping into a living design catalog. The house is a unique example of modernist architecture and functionalist design, with every detail—furniture, color palette, materials, and layout—carefully thought out. It showcases Jacobsen’s ability to combine simplicity with elegance, creating a space that feels both practical and deeply aesthetic. For anyone with even a passing interest in design or architecture, the summerhouse is an absolute must-see. All in all, Trapholt offered an inspiring and relaxed art experience that felt approachable even for someone not deeply immersed in the world of modern art. It’s a place I would definitely recommend—and one I wouldn’t hesitate to return to.

A great experience overall. I went with no expectation and knew nothing of the current exhibitions. There was a good selection of art pieces and great variety in styles, concepts and shapes. The tour to the Kubelflex was also something I recommend as it adds to the visit. I spent 2 hours there and covered all available rooms.

Koldinghus

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Museum
Castle
Koldinghus, located in Kolding, is a remarkable cultural history museum housed within restored castle ruins. The castle has a rich and turbulent history dating back to the 13th century. Despite being partially destroyed by fire in 1808, it was rebuilt in the 20th century, seamlessly blending old and new architectural styles. The museum boasts an impressive collection of artifacts including the Christian IV collection, gold & silverware, Flora Danica table service, and princess gowns.
Again, grading on a curve based on location, but I had a 2.5 hour Layover at the train station and decided to visit this place which is a very short walk from the station. We'll worth the walk. The museum is very well organized and you can feel the history when your there. It use to be a royal residence from what I was told, among many other things. Great staff and they have lockers to store your bags while your visiting the museum. A little pricy, I think that I paid 22 euros, but it was worth it. Good place to visit if you have the time and it sits right next to a beautiful scenic river and walkway with benches to stop and soak up the view.

The restoration of this old castle is unique and worth seeing just for a completely different approach to restoring and protecting a heritage building. Definitely worth visiting.
Tom S — Google review
13th century castle on a hill overlooking the town and the castle lake. It is probably Kolding's most famous landmark. If you want to see the castle from the inside, you will have to spend a lot of money. The entrance fee is quite expensive. You can pay in advance online or on site at the ticket office.
Oskar V — Google review
Interesting mix of old and new architecture. The castle was partially destroyed in a fire in 1808 and was rebuilt in the 20th century in a way which preserved the original building but also clearly showed the modern parts. One of the highlights for us was the Flora Danica table service. Just amazing. The princess gowns were lovely. There was even the possibility to dress up as royalty yourself. There is a cafe on site. There is parking near the castle but the castle is also within walking distance from the center of town.

The Kolding Fortress or "Koldinghus" really is an iconic landmark for the city, It being destroyed back in the 1800's has still had a good restoration. Overall it's a good museum and has a great view on the top with the Hercules Statue remaining intact, it's overall a location worth visiting if you're having a transit through the city of Kolding.

Gram Slot

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
Refined hotel in a 15th-century lakeside castle with modern apartments, a farm & a concert venue.
We had the most lovely dining experience at Graham slot in June 2022. We enjoyed the accommodations very much. Our room was lovely with plenty of space and very cozy. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful with gardens, trails, and a playground! We had dinner at the Gram Slot restaurant, and it was beyond amazing!! My young daughter, 2 teenagers, my husband, and myself all thoroughly enjoyed our three-course dinner. First course was delicious smoked salmon with caviar and vegetables: it was divine. Our second course was the most juicy tenderloin with root vegetables. Our third course was moist chocolate brownie with walnuts; but they accommodated our nut- allergic daughters with apple cobbler. The wine pairings were perfect. The chef and wait staff were splendid. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Had to postpone a private booking due to a death in the immediate family. The venue deliberately didn't respond to mails and calls weren't answered because they were moving to another place or something. Then they refused to postpone the booking because it's a new venue, and had to receive full payment with no service. They didn't even claim part of the responsibility.

We held our wedding dinner at Gram Slot, and was very satisfied :) The food and location was amazing and we got the bridal suite on the second floor with view of the garden. The only thing we did not understand was why they do not have more weedings at the castle, it is ideal for it :) Pricewise it was really good as well, 21 adaults, 2 kids was less than DKK 20K. Thank you Gram Slot for having us!

Amusement park
Museums
Universe is an amusement park that boasts both interactive attractions and scientific exhibits suitable for all ages. It features a water fun area alongside an industrial museum, offering visitors the opportunity to explore, experiment and play on its playgrounds. The park also offers beautiful gardens and surroundings to enjoy. Its VR experience is highly recommended, especially for gamer children. Although food can be expensive and dull, there are plenty of opportunities to bring your own supplies too.
We totally enjoyed the gorgeous display of flowers throughout the park. If it rains, there are many places to shelter. The kids have so many hands-on exhibits, which are totally engaging. There is one extraordinary climbing experience to be had here. There is a virtual reality area!
Karen K — Google review
It's a really nice place with a lot of things to do and explore. We had a lot of fun being there. We missed a lot of shows because of our poor timing and the language (some of them are in german). There's a lot of things to do for children and adults alike. We especially enjoyed the wind tunnel ( Beat the Storm) and the Sky Trail (the climbing area...beware of vertigo). It's a good place to visit 2, 3 times. After buying your way in, they will give you a bracelet with a chip encoded that will help you enter anywhere in the park. The restaurants prices are a little steep, but that's to be expected. The staff is friendly and helpful at any stage. You have the option to rent a small wagon for your children or your things, to carry around, for a 50 dkk fee. Most attractions have a secure locker room that you can open via your bracelet, so you can store your belongings while visiting. The parking is decently big, but I would still recommend coming in early. Get your tickets in advance so that you can benefit from 25% discount. [Furthermore, you get a 50% discount if you have a season pass from other attractions (like Givskud Zoo)].
Radu O — Google review
The park is very interesting and educational. However, the way how the park handle the visitors in virtual line making it super unfair for the visitors with regular tickets. At the Sky Trail, the employees kept letting the visitors in the virtual line to get in first whenever they showed up even though the people in the regular line had already waited there for more than 20 minutes (the regular line was not even long at all).
Carrie C — Google review
Great expectations and some of them delivered in plenty. Innovative games, quizzes and challenging engaging experiences for most ages. Unfortunately this day some of the biggest exhibitions were closed due to a faulty fireprevention system or other fault. There was a lack of communication from the staff as to why half of the exhibitions were closed due to this.

It's a large science park that kids can enjoy. Children can become familiar with different scientific concepts, play games, and have fun, while parents can enjoy the beautiful and green area inside the park. There are restaurants, ice-cream shops, gift shop, etc. It is a fun way to spend a day.

2025-09-14 - Visited with my wife and three daughters (age 9, 6 and 3). We had a great day with lot of fun. The park is best if you are more than 1,3 meters high as there was quite many attractions which only my oldest daughter could try… Bust still we had a good day!

It's a nice place to spent a day with the kids. I would give it 4,5* if possible. The missing half star is because there were some experiments that where not working ( fire zone) and you should work on the soap mix in the bubble zone 😉
Dagmar W — Google review
I’m writing to express concern about an incident that occurred during our recent visit. While most of the experience was fine, we encountered a moment that felt disturbingly discriminatory. At the Skytrail climbing attraction, our children — who were clearly waiting earlier in the queue — were consistently overlooked, while others who arrived later were helped and equipped first. There was no clear order or number system, yet our children were skipped without explanation. The contrast in how other children were assisted — with attention and patience — was stark. A similar situation occurred at the Segway station, where one of the same staff members again seemed to intentionally avoid instructing or assisting our children, while being notably more attentive to others. Being treated this way — especially when children are involved — simply because of where we come from is unacceptable. We came as paying guests like everyone else, and no one deserves to feel ignored or unwelcome because of their background. Discrimination, intentional or not, has no place in any customer-facing setting. We truly hope your team will take this feedback seriously and address it with the relevant staff. Every child deserves equal treatment and kindness, regardless of nationality. Kind regards, Alla

Very interesting exhibition with lots of history about what happened in the months of 1864. Unfortunately it is a very small site and you can see it all in a few hours.

During our trip to Denmark, we made a stop at Gottorf Castle (Schloss Gottorf) and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The castle is located in a picturesque spot surrounded by beautiful trees and lush green areas, offering a peaceful atmosphere. The numerous sculptures scattered around the grounds add a unique artistic flair, making the castle even more iconic and memorable. Although it’s not a luxury castle, it holds a lot of historical charm. The cozy coffee shop outside was perfect for a quick break, and the convenient parking space made it easy to rest during our journey. Gottorf Castle is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area – a great blend of culture, history, and nature that provides a perfect stopover on a long drive.

Amazing collection showing pieces from the county from the building of the original castle back in the 1100s. No English translation on the individual exhibits, but a nice description in general of each room on a display stand. The Nydamboot display, a 23m viking boat found in a nearby bog, in a separate building is very well done. We didn't have tune to see the baroque gardens, the archaeological exhibit, or the other art displays in the stable buildings, so definitely a reason to go back again.

A hidden gem of a museum, just outside of Schleswig at the Schlei (Sly Firth). Stone Age tools, Bog bodies, Iron Age relics, an old rowboat that is close to 1800 years old, and so much more await in this very well curated museum. A great overview over human activity reaching back thousands of years, in what is now northern Germany and southern Denmark. Many signs are in German and Danish only, but English reference text and possibly audio are available.

It really is hard to represent this place via pictures. The quiet, the smell, the absolutely immense size of the site... you must go and experience it. The village was built with impressive attention to detail. The animals surrounding the area add to the atmosphere of a time were food was produced close to where it was consumed. The sheep you can actually get close too and approach. Museum staff is adorable! =) Super helpful in setting up the voice guides. Definitely a bucket list item for viking and nature fans. Notes I wish I had before going: 1) It's a huge place! Go with time. At least half a day. The museum closes at 17h, that can complicate an afternoon visit. 2) Start at the museum, it will give you context on the landscape where the village sits. 3) Take food with you. There is a coffee shop there, but limited meal choices. Only one restaurant close by. Decent food, but bit pricey. Not very friendly to foreigners, no English menu. 4) If you are into woods, you can take some extra time to explore the area around. 5) If you go by public transport, remember it's a rural area. Flashier clothes / left leaning symbols may get you an occasional intrigued and not so friendly pair of eyes.. or comments.

Very interesting museum and exhibits rather spoilt by poor building design and poor exhibition design. When we visited we had to wait for about 20 minutes outside the entrance before we could buy tickets. What happens when it rains? The entrance building should have been much larger in order to accommodate the large numbers of people who visit. Once we had tickets we had to go outside again to access the exhibition crossing the line of people waiting to buy tickets. Large numbers of the exhibits are badly lit so that it is not possible to read the information cards. Some exhibits are on shelves above eye level so it is not possible to see them! There is very little information in English. At the housing site there is a short leaflet available describing the houses but at the main exhibition there is virtually no information available in English. I am sure that English-speaking visitors would be willing to buy an information booklet in English; it would make the visit so much more enjoyable and informative! So many opportunities have been missed!

I attended the summer Market (Viking event) held on the archaeological site. So, a visit inside the museum was absolutely necessary. The museum is very interesting as you will see all the items found so far on the site. I heard that the searches are not finished yet, so more items are added year after year.

Naval Memorial

Space of remembrance

Monuments & Statues
The Naval Memorial, also known as the Laboe Naval Memorial, is a significant war memorial featuring a tower and observation deck. Originally built in 1936 to honor sailors of World War I, it now symbolizes all seafarers who lost their lives in both world wars. The towering structure offers a small exhibition on the ground floor and stunning panoramic views from its platform.
Amazing place for remembrance! Also a dark structure as from what time frame it is, it’s an unsettling place at the same time! Beautiful but kind of intimidating which was the point of the structure.. he himself didn’t like the design I read!

Too few to visit basically only a few ship models to see along with some history of German Navy. View at the top is great

You can walk up on the inside however the stairs are open so you can look down, not good if you don’t like heights.I’m ok looking out just not down. That the lift as the view is worth it. The museum is also interesting and they used the same scale for the models so you can compare the sizes of the vessels
Ove — Google review
Super interesting and impactful experience. I am more of an artsy person, but i would not miss this. Definitely worth the entrance fee especially to see all the ship models, the view and the submarine! It is such a unique experience to walk inside a submarine and get to know all the historical and technical details about it. I absolutely recommend to visit.
Dorottya-Agota S — Google review
In memory to the fallen soldiers. The memorial looks powerful and depressive. Inside there are some pictures and stories about the war time. I like the wall with many submarines, it shows how many of them sank. It is crazy. So many lost lives. The tower is quite high and inside is a bit creepy if you walk the stairs. The view from the tower is great. It is definitely worth seeing it.

Just down the street about a block, there is a ticket stand that will sell you a ticket to get in. Well, it's less of a ticket and more of a token that you put in at the turnstile. This originally was the German Naval Memorial for the sailors of the German Navy during World War I. After the Second World War it was then changed into an all naval memoral for sailors of all countries' Navys. Behind the tower is a museum that goes over the history of the German Navy and a number of Naval Maritime Disasters. I would highly suggest that you go through this portion of the museum before going into the tower itself. Once you get through the museum you go down a set of stairs and underneath the open area that you walked across to get to the museum. Under here are a number of wreaths and memorials to ships and sailors who lost their lives. You will then cross to the other side where you will enter into the tower itself and the exhibit continues. And shows the losses of German ships during both world wars and The transformation of the German Navies. You can take the flight of stairs, or the elevator all the way up to the top of the memorial where you have a wonderful view of U-995 and the surrounding beach. 12/10 would recommend you to go visit if you're in the area.

Interesting combination of a memorial and a museum. U995 is a must see if you can, also. Wonderful view of the coast if you go to the top of the memorial tower.

German submarine U-995

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Technology museum
Sights & Landmarks
German submarine U-995 is a historical and technical museum located on Laboe beach, housed in a World War II-era U-boat. This Nazi Germany submarine was damaged in 1944 and later used by the Norwegian navy until the 1960s. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into its tight interior, including the engine room, cabins, control stations, and torpedo tubes. It is one of the few remaining intact U-boats and sits next to the Laboe Naval Memorial.
This was incredibly interesting. I had the opportunity to go here with three of my friends. It’s unbelievable to think people actually lived in this submarine!
Nick — Google review
This is probably the number 1 attraction in the area, and yet you don't need to be there long, and it definitely stirs mixed emotions. On the one hand, it's really cool to get to walk through a submarine, the engineering, the equipment, the pipes and valves, the electrics and communication, etc. are all fascinating. So, too, is a view of how the crew slept and ate in such a cramped space. But then the sombre thought that these guys were killing your guys, never really leaves you. Lest we forget.

Rendsburg High Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
Early-1900s iron railroad bridge that crosses the Kiel Canal at a height of over 40 meters.
The Rendsburg High Bridge (1913) is a railway viaduct at Rendsburg, Germany. A "transporter" suspended below the bridge carries cars and pedestrians across the Kiel Canal every 15 minutes. It hangs just six meters above water level and ships must time their passage carefully.
David S — Google review
An interesting way of transporting people and cars over the canal. As pedestrians and bikes are prioritised, and the que for cars can be long (takes max 4 cars of max 3,5 tons, and no motorhomes), go there on foot or by bike. It's free of charge either way. Runs 4 times per hour.

Designer Outlet Neumünster offers a wide range of stores and products with great discounts. You can find quality clothing from many popular brands, often with additional deals. The selection is good and prices are really worth it. The only downside is that there aren’t many options for food or lunch, but overall, it’s a great place for shopping if you’re looking for variety and good value.
Vr M — Google review
Great little “village” of designer brands from all categories, dotted with coffee shops and ice cream parlors. The shopping selection is impressive and well-organized, with something for every taste and budget. Food wise, it’s functional rather than fantastic but enough to keep you going. Don’t expect a culinary highlight. A well-maintained and pleasant place for a day of bargain hunting (weather permitting).

Nice place, many brand outlets are available here. Need to pick and choose for offers. Majorly good for shoes brands like Nike and Adidas, schedules particularly.

Peter M — Google review
I arrived early in the morning at Designer Outlet Neumünster, when all the shops were still closed and the place was quiet. The calm before the shopping rush gave me a chance to really take in the spacious layout and the modern design of the outlet. Located on Oderstraße 10, it’s about 45 minutes by car from Hamburg, and you can also get there by train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster with a transfer, which takes around 1.5 hours. Even before the shops opened at 10 am, I noticed the huge parking area with plenty of spots, including premium and electric vehicle charging stations. The outlet hosts over 120 designer stores offering discounts up to 70%, featuring brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Woolrich, and Zwilling. I was excited to come back later and explore all the fashion, accessories, and more. The peaceful morning also gave me a moment to appreciate the cafes and restaurants that would soon fill with visitors. It felt like a perfect blend of convenience and style, making it clear why this spot is a favorite for both locals and travelers looking for great deals near Hamburg. If you’re coming without a car, the best way is to take the train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster, then a short bus or taxi ride to the outlet. It’s an easy trip and well worth it for a day of shopping and relaxing in a clean, welcoming environment.

Designer Outlet Neumünster is a pleasant place to visit with a good variety of shops and a clean, well-organized layout. While not everything is cheaper than elsewhere, you can still find some good deals if you take the time to look around.

HolstenTherme Kaltenkirchen

Water park
Spas & Wellness
Caribbean-styled water park with slides & children's pool, plus saunas, treatment rooms & a bistro.
Always enjoyable, so many saunas to choose from and new areas being created. It can get full on weekends & holidays (or, in this case, during a holiday week). There was a line to get in but this was the first time I’ve experienced a line. And even outside and in the saunas, it was not overcrowded. There are 7 saunas, between 45C - 100C, offering many infusions per day. There is a nice place to grab a bite in the sauna world or several fast-food type places in the swimming area. Highly recommended!
Lisa A — Google review
Nice place to relax, especially with children. It’s very warm everywhere, which makes it quite cozy. However, the whole experience is significantly affected by the following issues: • Mediocre food at best, for premium prices. Bringing your own food is forbidden, yet you’re expected to pay 10+ euros for a Currywurst and fries (“Sparmenü”). I wouldn’t complain if the food quality and taste were acceptable. • Changing is challenging. There are very few changing rooms, which are not practical for families. As a result, you may end up having to change in the open areas. • Too few lockers for valuables. By noon, I found all of them already occupied. Overall, I found that the experience fell short in a few areas compared to the advertising. It feels a bit run-down, yet you’re expected to pay premium prices. Around 100€ per day for two adults and two kids is typical.

Absolutely amazing! Thank me of the top indoor/outdoor pools in Germany. We went here expecting to just spend 2-3hrs. We ended up staying the whole day. Plenty of fun’s for the kids.

Total Relaxation at HolstenTherme – A Wellness Paradise HolstenTherme is an incredible wellness destination just outside Hamburg. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by a clean, peaceful, and beautifully designed space that makes it easy to relax and forget the outside world. The sauna area is truly outstanding – with seven themed saunas inspired by different parts of the world, from the Finnish Erdsauna to the African Kalahari and the Oriental steam bath. Each one offers a unique atmosphere and a perfect way to unwind. The swimming pools, including both indoor and outdoor areas, are warm and inviting, and the spa offers excellent massage services. There’s also a modern fitness studio and a delicious on-site restaurant with exotic dishes and a relaxing vibe. Whether you’re looking for a few hours of relaxation or a full day of wellness, HolstenTherme is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended – 5 stars!

Probably the best spa resort for families with small children. Suggested to come at the opening hours, tends to get very full during midday. Also, it is advised to order lunch before 12:00, because the wait times get long. Otherwise top when it comes up cleanliness and service.

Everything was ver nice! That is the most clean wellness center I have ever seen, of course we went on a Monday which is not so crowded but still you can see they take care of the place! The stuff was very polite and helpful and I loved how the place has so many different styles to relax! Also the price is quite fair for what you get! I am taking one star away because the sauna programs was like everything the same ,boring and never on time! We were there sitting and waiting for the people to come slowly and make the program! Also there was no rule for staying quiet as a result some rude people to talk o laugh loud and none of the stuff do anything! Bit annoying! And one more reason that the bar was a little expensive! I mean 2,40€ for a small glass tap water is waaay too much! Above all that was a place I highly recommend and you should try

Ohlsdorf Cemetery

15 lists 
Cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Park
Ohlsdorf Cemetery, located in Hamburg, Germany, has been open since 1877 and covers an expansive 389 hectares. It is not only known for its picturesque landscapes but also for being the final resting place of notable figures and soldiers from over twenty nations. The cemetery features twelve chapels, three museums, ponds, and sculptures. Despite being a burial ground, it is considered one of the city's top tourist attractions due to its historical significance and natural beauty.
One of the most beautiful (and unique) cemeteries I have visited. It's the biggest rural cemetery in the world (and the fourth-largest overall). I didn't know what a rural cemetery was (also known as a garden cemetery) so had to check Wikipedia. It's a style of cemetery that became popular in the mid-19th century due to the overcrowding and health concerns of urban cemeteries. They were typically built a few miles outside of the city, far enough to be separated from the city, but close enough for visitors. They often contain elaborate monuments, memorials, and mausoleums in a landscaped park-like setting. Statues and memorials included depictions of angels and cherubs as well as botanical motifs such as ivy representing memory, oak leaves for immortality, poppies for sleep and acorns for life. The Ohlsdorf cemetery is almost 1000 acres with 12 chapels, 11 miles of streets and 2 city-run bus lines with 25 bus stops in the cemetery. It employs over 200 full-time gardeners. 2 million people from all over the world visit the cemetery every year and 40% of all burials in Hamburg take place there.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful place. I can't believe this was the first time we've been there, living relatively close, but I'm certainly planning on visiting more often. The park is large, and kept nicely, so much beautiful greenery and beautiful statues to look at. The graves are neat and tidy, many have flowers planted and it looks so nice while they bloom. The free roaming geese are an added attraction. A truly wonderful place!

Huge, beautiful rural cemetery, wheelchair accessible, seating available I cannot say "I've seen it all" but I tried. On foot, by bike and by bus. This rural cemetery rather seems a park - and that was intentionally done so. It's too large to see it all but with its distinct parts, the old Corde's and the 'new' Linne's one, Ohlsdorf cemetery is definitely worth several visits. Important people of and for Hamburg are buried here, the different tombstones and mausoleums are impressive. A mass grave for the bombing victims of Operation Gomorrha, British Commonwealth War Graves, Resistance fighters, the rose garden, the women's garden, it's so much to tell. You need to explore it on your own!

Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg is the biggest rural cemetery in the world! Most people might not be keen on the idea of randomly going for a walk through the graves. But Ohlsdorf looks nothing like a regular, classic cemetery! There is nothing depressing or creepy about it. It’s just a beautiful, regular park where you can admire bright colored flowers, listen to chirpy birds and yes, pass by mausoleums, gorgeously sculpted statues and even visit a funeral museum. It’s one of the largest cemeteries in Europe, and is beautiful to wander around, if you have the stamina that is! It’s so large that there are multiple roads and access ways for you to drive through, plus there are two bus lines that circle the cemetery.

The Stadtpark stands out — acres and acres of green spaces, trees, well-tended flowers and shrubs, with beautiful, quiet walking trails going all through the park.

This is a large, open park on the north side of Hamburg's city center, integrated into the urban landscape without big gates or fences. Many people come here to jog, walk, or walk their dogs, or cycle. The park also offers several restaurants and small cafes for relaxation. You might even spot a street performer playing the trumpet. if you like, do not spare your coins! The best part is the non-artificiality. There are no neatly paved running tracks, only wide paths covered in fallen leaves, with the smell of earth and moisture. Dogs, especially large dogs, can have a blast here, running freely on the grass without leashes. Although Hamburg winters are often gloomy and sunless, the vibrancy of this park is truly therapeutic.

Alster Lakes, located in the heart of Hamburg, is a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. The sprawling lake is surrounded by verdant parks and historic mansions, making it popular among joggers and kayakers. It's a great place to start your day in Hamburg with a leisurely stroll around the 160-hectare man-made lake. You can grab a coffee from one of the many cafes or even try some unconventional breakfast options like ice cream from Luicella's.
The Alster Lakes in Hamburg offer a escape within the city, perfect for outdoor activities, trail around lake is ideal for running and walking. For water activities, the lakes provide opportunities for kayaking and paddling, and rentals are available. In my experience, the Alster Lakes stand out as the best nature spot near Hamburg, offering a blend of scenic beauty and recreational options. I really liked it.
Stefan — Google review
My go to running route during my 1 week stay in Hamburg. I personally find this is the best place to run in Hamburg as it is uninterrupted and the whole lake clockwise/anticlockwise is about 4km. For runners, most part of the runs are on trails but they are use granites etc. Entire stretch of the lake are well maintained and three are many ducks and swans around. Would suggest going early morning as the whole place will be crowded late afternoon onwards.

The Alster Lakes area is absolutely dreamy. It's a great spot to watch the sail boats, the ducks, the people out for a stroll or a run. I sat on one of the benches for a bit and then walked into the city from there. What a treat for people living or visiting that area of the city. I enjoyed it so much that I booked a boat tour of both the Inner and Outer Lakes today.

I spent 5 to 6 hours here , totally worth the commuting to this memorial. Even on a rainy day, it was worth it, it actually gave a deeper experience. Very wide big place. Advise hearing the audios of testimonies and take some time for reading to emerge into it. Altought peaceful, heavy.

Very informative and eye opening experience. The premise is spread over a very big area. So be prepared to walk a lot in the open. Unfortunately we visited on a rainy day, so couldn't explore much of the ground. But exhibition is very informative with lots of original photos and documents. Entry and exhibition are free.

It's hard to rate a place so full of sad memories and dark times. But the place itself is quiet, somber, and very respectful of its history. The displays are thoughtful and deep. I was particularly moved by the albums that were about a single person. When you read them and realize that over 100,000 passed thru the camp, it's an overwhelming moment.

This concentration camp became a prison after WWII, before becoming an exhibition centre. Therefore, there aren't many original features of the camp which remain. There is a lot of learning material available in the exhibition space, with photos and information. You have to pick up separate cards at each exhibit point if you want to read in English French or Polish. The reception desk has a map which suggests a one hour or two hour route of the camp.

Free to visit. You can still feel the menacing atmosphere. Many old buildings still intact and the exhibitions were interesting with lots of old stuff from the camps.

Recommended if you want to know more details about the World War 2 and the life of prisoners in this concentration camp. We can only imagine the effect that it left on so many families.

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
Bergen-Belsen Memorial is a site that preserves the memory of the horrors of World War II, serving as a tribute to those who lost their lives during this dark period in history. It houses monuments, displays and research facilities that chronicle the experience of former POWs and those sent to concentration and displaced persons camps. The museum staff are welcoming and helpful, creating an organized space for visitors to learn about this somber part of history.
Loved the memorial. The exhibition is more extensive than we thought. We spent a solid two hours reviewing the history and personal stories. Very well done.

Inevitably a very thought provoking experience. A very detailed museum with photos, video artefacts etc. Outside it was not fully clear where to go, take the free map. Nice to see Anne Frank's memorial, her story has moved me for over 50 years

Free to enter and walk around, the scale of the area is massive and you can easily spend 2-3 hours walking around. You don't truly understand the scale of the camp until you walk the grounds. Although none of the original building stand there are plenty of maps explaining certain areas dotted around the grounds. The POW cemetery is separate from the camp, roughly a 5 min walk and is now connected via a sand path that crosses the training area. All signs have an English translation and the exhibits in the museum also have English translations. There is a cafe and library on site, but I didn't visit.

The history in this memorial was extremely tough to see but important to know so the past will never be repeated

Poignant and moving. Very well narrated in the stories and pictures in the museum which is new. Camp site tells the story well although it is only the foundation now as it was destroyed at the liberation due to disease concerns.

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen is a fantastic destination that combines the thrill of an amusement park with the wonder of a safari experience. This unique animal park and holiday resort features free-roaming wildlife, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace in their vehicles. The park is well-organized and clean, making it easy for families to navigate while enjoying both animal encounters and exhilarating rides suitable for all ages.
One of a kind zoo. Safari in our own car is something very convenient for families and with that we were able to experience the animals in very close proximity. Animals looked well fed and in good shape unlike other zoos i have visited. There are also various free rides in the park both for kids and adults. Various food stalls and also WC were available throughout the park and very well maintained. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must visit place and it was very well spent day out for us 😊

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time exploring the self drive safari. It's incredibly well organized and gives you a rare chance to see exotic animals up close from the comfort of your own car. From giraffes walking past our windows to rhinos grazing nearby, the whole experience felt like a mini African adventure right in Germany. What impressed us the most was how smoothly everything ran. Entry was well coordinated, the drive-through routes were clearly marked, and there were friendly staff around to guide and assist if needed. The animals appeared healthy and well cared for, with plenty of space to roam. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The amusement park section was a fantastic surprise. There’s a great mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults. The park is clean, spacious, and offers a lot of variety to fill the entire day. Overall, it’s 100% worth the visit, especially for families or anyone looking to do something unique over the weekend. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.

An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.

It is a really great place for a whole day family trip! The safari part is incredible, we were on our own car and haven't regretted it. You can see animals really close, they have plenty of space and look really healthy. And we loved the amusement park! Surprisingly there were almost no ques, we didn't have to wait more that 5 mins for a ride. Top place, highly recommend!

One of the best Safari park in northern Europe ! Very large, organised, clean and must visit. The rides are also a bonus and included, if you want to cover both I recommend to start early spend 09.30 to 12.30 at the safari, have lunch and spend rest of the day at the rides. The rides are for all age groups and parking facility is quite good, so can easily walk around. There is also an indoor play area for younger kids. Overall can easily spend a full day with family having fun and good memories !

We had booked the Tongasoa lodges. What they don't tell you is there is a hard deadline for check in. The reception closes at 7pm and they were available until 8pm for late check in. The keys and the room no. information are all provided only at the reception, if you come late, we aren't sure where you will need to spend the night. We were very lucky to have caught them just when they were locking up and they were kind enough to help us with our checkins after their work hours. Apart from that everything else was really nice. They rooms were nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and all amenities were functional. The breakfast the next day at Manyara restaurant was just fine. If you are a vegetarian, you will be able to get sandwich and cereals and for vegan probably just fruits and salad vegetables. Safari the next day was really fun, we went with our own cars. The animals were very close and approached the cars. I thought I read you shouldn't feed the animals, but some of the cars in front of us were feeding apples, bananas and carrots and nobody stopped them. The amusement park was also fun, it came with the safari tickets, we didn't need to pay extra.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Celle Castle, originally built in 1292, is a Renaissance castle with medieval origins and is a must-see attraction in the city. The quadrangular building features immaculately preserved Baroque-style rooms and stunning Renaissance architecture. It also houses the oldest Baroque theater in Europe and a highly decorated chapel. Although guided tours were not available during the visit due to Covid restrictions, visitors can still admire the castle's beauty and history.
We didn't go in but sat in the gardens in front of the castle. It's nicely situated in the center of town. There was a vintage car fair when we were there and the atmosphere was really nice.

The castle impresses with its beautiful Renaissance architecture and well-maintained interiors. Inside, the museum offers a detailed look at regional history with modern exhibition techniques and clear descriptions. Interesting fact: During World War II, Celler Schloss was used as a refuge for artworks from major museums to protect them from bombings, adding a unique historical layer to its story.

(Translated by Google) I played the detective room with 6 English-speaking colleagues and we mastered it successfully. The puzzles are mostly logical, but we needed a hint every now and then. We were looked after very friendly by the friendly staff. So, all in all a recommendation!

(Translated by Google) I was there with my two children (13,17) in the medieval room. This is very lovingly designed and definitely a huge fun factor. It's like you're in another world. Clues come at the right time. In short, we had great fun. I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to do it again.

(Translated by Google) Very well thought out, simple concept. That an old villa with little puzzles can keep so many people busy. At first glance it might not be a super modern facility, but all the really important things are offered there and small groups have to work as a team. The most important thing... a team without WhatsApp (Original) Sehr gut durchdachtes ,einfaches Konzept. Das eine alte Villa mit kleinen Rätseln so viele Menschen gut beschäftigen kann. Auf den ersten Blick vielleicht nicht die super moderne Anlage.dort werden aber alle wirklich wichtigen Dinge angeboten und kleine Gruppen müssen als Team arbeiten.
