Mostly for kids but our group of four adults had a good time! From the planetarium room where you could move the sun, destroy planets and change orbits to racing a ridiculously fast dachshund to having alpha/theta wave mediation battles on the stress machine, it was all a good time.
We had a very enjoyable couple of hours here - we could have spent longer but unfortunately it closed early on Friday. It's bigger than it first seemed! All the info is in English and French, as well as German.
Went with oir 9 and 14 year olds, they had so much fun! Lots of activities for all ages!
Fantastic couple of hours exploring the science centre. Interesting for all ages. Little cafe too for food and or refreshments. Highly recommend
Really educational and fun activity afternoon for kids. Learn while having fun.
The science exhibition was a delightful and enlightening experience. The friendly and knowledgeable staff warmly welcomed visitors, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The diverse range of exhibits catered to both the curious minds of young participants and the inquisitive nature of older attendees. It was truly a captivating and educational event that offered something for everyone.
Such a wonderful place to show kids and adults how science and physics are working by trying all kinds of cool experiments, lots of fun for the whole family
We live in Bavaria, but went to Pfalz especially to visit Dynamikum and we didn't regret it at all. We had the Pfalz-Karte, so didn't pay anything extra, spent the whole day there and the kids keep saying that they want to go there again. We probably will.

Great museum--- both in the areas that have been refurbished and the closed off tunnel displays. There are descriptions in most areas in German and English, making it more meaningful for non-German visitors. Highly recommend this museum if you are curious about the western front and WW2.
The history is amazing! It's still awe inspiring to me to walk through these tunnels that were used during WWII. I didn't feel it should cost €8 euro to get in to this museum though; while very interesting I don't think the quality was that high. Bring a coat. It's chilly underground.
Very well done. The vehicles have been restored and prepared in accordance with the original. Individual illustrations are also well presented and adequately described. Be sure to bring a jacket with you because it is very cold. A small point of criticism on my part would be a marker on the way there. In my opinion it can still be improved. Despite all that, a worthwhile destination.
Great place for a history lesson. Enjoyed the museum immensely.
Very interesting couple of hours but no matter the weather wrap up, its freezing inside and I visited on a day it was really hot plus I am Scottish and used to the cold but this was too cold not to wear a jacket. Amazing pieces of history very fascinating only downside is there was only a few items that had been translated to English so if you can't read German then you won't be able to learn all that there is there to learn which is a shame.
Really awesome place to visit! The underground facilities used during WWII are filled with interesting history. Very reasonable price to enter. Be sure to bring a sweater/jacket (even in summer) as it is chilly inside!
I didn't like two things: the explanations are just a few in English when they should all be since it's open to "the whole world" and the most interesting part with the group of casemates and batteries is not accessible at all 🤔, Is it destroyed? It would have been interesting to see at least some of it 😔
Great Museum alot to see and learn. Tour Guides are very knowledgeable and try to answer all questions you have. Not all information is available in English. Definitely worth a visit.

Delightful assortment of chocolates made in Pirmasens – an excellent choice for gifting.
Fun place to visit and enjoy some free chocolate. There's also a shop inside to buy different chocolates or just sit and have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.
A brilliant place to visit. It costs me a fortune on each visit! Christmas and Easter mean many items. A good cafe where they have delicious torte and a drink for a very reasonable price. Great and helpful staff.
Chocolate factury. Glas manufacture. So kids can see how it's done. Good chocolate to try and buy.
Good in taste but prices are a bit higher when compared to local supermarkets like Netto, Lidl etc.
Factory shop. Huge choice and good prices.
Great for kids, cheap but good chocolate
Fun experience. Great selection of chocolates.

Nature & Parks
Slide 1 of 8
Very nice place for walking, fresh air and places to play for children. It was a good day with my friend Rasool Jan. I recommend it to friends who love nature. There was also a small lake.
I've had this park on my to-do list for a while, but as I'm usually on my own with three small children under 6, I'm hesitant to visit downtown areas. Finally I made my way here with a friend and her daughter. I had asked on Google maps where to park, and got varied responses, but actually finding any of these places or available spots proved difficult. I'm still not exactly sure where to recommend parking. We ended up parking at the paid lot (by automatic kiosk) on Schaferstrasse, though this required us to cross a busy road before walking down a quiet one to the park entrance, and then still had to walk another 5-10 minutes before reaching the playgrounds. I think if I were to go back, I'd try to park at the IHK, if allowed, as that seemed to have the safest and most direct entry into the park. The park itself is in a fantastic setting - ponds, greenery, trees, and the impressive bridge looming overhead, plus a few garden paths to walk through. The beer garden wasn't open while we were there (nor could we find any information online or on Google Maps as to its hours or precise location, though we figured it was on the patio next to the pond), but there were plenty of spaces to spread out a picnic blanket for a picnic, which we did near the playground. As for the playground itself, it is QUITE impressive. There is a castle-themed playground with tons to do - swings, slides, tunnels, walls to climb, spinners, hammocks, a non-functioning water playground (possibly closed for the season as it was mid-September), and a VERY impressive rope swing that covers quite a distance, as well as a zipline. There are a few sports playing courts, and the path continued on past the playgrounds but we had to leave before we could explore them all. The park was clean, but felt poorly maintained somehow, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it. There were signs for bathrooms, but we couldn't find them (I imagine they might be in the Dynamikum center, which we didn't go into, though that was the direction the signs were pointing). Overall, the park is beautiful, but I imagine it's much better in summer when everything is in bloom and the park is (presumably) being most cared for, and the beer garden is open. If visiting with small children, try to find parking on Frohnstrasse or at IHK itself to avoid crossing busy downtown roads.
Nice place for a walk. You can do multiple activities like skating area, disc golf. Perfeplace for a picnic
Very nice playground for kids. There are nice roads to walk and enjoy your time there. In the summertime on the lake, you will find a nice restaurant but unfortunately nothing at the other time of the year.
amazing, we had a great afternoon. Very entertaining for the whole family.
This is a super nice park! Something for everybody. You can walk the dogs. play disc golf .Take the kids. There's a ton of room. Have a picnic. lay in the grass enjoy your day. Multiple playgrounds and a lot of cool things to look at and interact with. Go have fun Enjoy yourself.
Lovely little park with a pond full of ducks. My 3 year old boys loved watching them whilst we sat and had a cool drink.
Super nice park, I could feed some little castors.

Excellent price for families
Solid pool with an indoor and outdoor area. Indoors they have a half Olympic size swimming pool, a slide, a kids pool, a whirlpool, a small outdoor area and a bigger pool where they offer water gymnastic classes as well. It also features a small sunbed area and a burger restaurant. Outside hey have a kids pool, a slide, a water jump tower (3 meters and 1 meters), an Olympic size swimming pool that is divided in a swimmer and no swimmer area but can be used for tournaments as well it is integrated with the water slide area and the jump tower. The park surrounding the pools is spacious and features a beach volleyball field and a kiosk that offers snacks.
This swimming pool is really good, though a bit small. Parking place is large. Price is quite ok.
Indoor and outdoor pools, trendy, professional
Nice place to have fun with friends
Amazing but expensive than winter
Good for adults and for Kids.

(Translated by Google) 1 star is definitely 5 too many! I've never experienced anything like that. You come in and everything is dirty and sticky... the tables are stuck together and cigarettes are on the floor. There's urine in the toilet! It's just incredible. It was so nice, the first time there in years and more than disappointed. Crash pub in PS now has a name “Saalbau” oh and not to forget the audience you can do without. It's a shame we didn't take any pictures, but I didn't want my phone to break either. I just hope that we didn't bring any illnesses with us from the short time we were there. Absolutely —!!!!!!!! (Original) 1 Stern ist definitiv 5 zu viel! Sowas hab ich noch nie erlebt. Man kommt rein und es ist alles dreckig und klebrig.. die Tische sind verklebt die Zigaretten liegen auf dem Boden. In der Toilette steht der Urin! Es ist einfach unglaublich. Es wer da mal so schön, nach Jahren das erste mal dort und mehr als enttäuscht. Absturz Kneipe in PS hat jetzt einen Namen „Saalbau“ ach und nicht zu vergessen auf das Publikum kann man gerne verzichten. Schade das wir keine Bilder gemacht haben aber ich wollte auch nicht das mein Handy kaputt geht. Ich hoffe nur das wir aus dieser kurzen Zeit wo wir da waren keine Krankheiten mitgebracht haben. Absolutes —!!!!!!!!
(Translated by Google) Quite OK, it's a bit small. Every age group is represented there. Dance hall, therefore few seats. Music is so loud that it is difficult to hold a conversation. (Original) Ganz OK, ist etwas klein. Dort ist jede Altersklasse vertreten. Tanzlokal, deshalb wenig Sitzplätze. Musik ist so laut, dass man sich schwer unterhalten kann.
(Translated by Google) It's really bad, I would never go there again, it's even smaller than my living room. The music isn't that good either. The atmosphere isn't really there. If you don't get along with someone anymore, you're no longer allowed to work there pure (Original) Sau schlecht würde da nie wieder hin gehen noch kleiner wie mein Wohnzimmer Musik ist auch nid so gut Stimmung ist da nicht wirklich .ware da 2 Mal drin wenn man sich mit jemand nicht mehr versteht wo dadrin neu angefangen hat zu arbeiten darf man da nicht mehr rein

(Translated by Google) As in previous years, the New Year's concert was once again first-class. Big praise to the organizer and everyone involved. The only drawback are the few parking spaces in the surrounding area, which are still shared with the cinema and restaurant. (Original) Das Neujahrskonzert war wie die letzten Jahre wieder erstklassig. Dem Veranstalter und allen Mitwirkenden ein großes Lob. Einziges Manko sind die wenige Parkplätze in der näheren Umgebung die noch mit Kino und Gaststätte geteilt werden.

(Translated by Google) "If you don't succeed, you become a landlord." This old saying seems to hit the nail on the head here. Nice bistro that could do more with it. But it appears to have only been furnished and decorated once and has remained unchanged since then. Apparently the food is all finished goods, but it's okay. At least what our group had. What is suspicious, however, is that in a larger German city in 2023 you can only pay in cash, there is no bill and you won't see a cash register anywhere. Is this probably the case for tax optimization reasons? (Original) "Wer nix wird, wird Wirt." Dieses alte Sprichwort scheint hier den Nagel auf den Kopf zu treffen. Schönes Bistro, aus dem man mehr machen könnte. Scheint aber nur ein einziges Mal eingerichtet und dekoriert worden zu sein und seither unverändert geblieben. Essen ist offenbar alles Fertigware, aber in Ordnung. Zumindest was unsere Gruppe hatte. Suspekt ist aber dass man in einer größeren deutschen Stadt im Jahre 2023 ausschließlich bar bezahlen kann, es keine Rechnung gibt und man nirgendwo eine Registrierkasse sieht. Ob das wohl aus Gründen der Steueroptimierung so ist?
(Translated by Google) Good, inexpensive pizza. Good service. Located on the edge of the desolate Pirmasens city center (numerous abandoned shops)... (Original) Gute, preiswerte Pizza. Guter Service. Liegt am Rande der trostlosen Pirmasenser Innenstadt (zahlreiche aufgegebene Läden) ..
(Translated by Google) We sat in the beer garden and the food was what you would expect for a BEER GARDEN, very tasty but nothing "exotic". Many different types of beer and very friendly service, as well as the very pleasant atmosphere make the setting a recommendable place. (Original) Wir saßen im Biergarten und das Essen war das, was man für einen BIERGARTEN erwarten kann, sehr lecker, aber nichts "exotisches". Viele verschiedene Sorten Bier und eine sehr nette Bedienung, sowie die sehr angenehme Atmosphäre machen die Kulisse einen empfehlenswerten Ort.
