Amusement parks are the perfect getaway from everyday life: children's eyes light up instead of being quizzical, limitless fun on the rides and exciting shows provide pure entertainment. A ride on the Star Trek roller coaster at Movie Park Germany in Bottrop promises a 100% adrenaline kick, but the Silver Star roller coaster at Europa Park Rust also stands for rapid highs. There are so many unbelievable offers where fun for young and old is guaranteed: How about film and television at your fingertips? The Bavaria Filmstadt in Munich makes it possible. Going on safari in Germany? The Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen in Lower Saxony promises pure adventure. Admire the world's largest model railway? Then head to Hamburg to Miniatur Wunderland.

1, 2, 3 and off we go. Swinging through the trees like Tarzan and Jane, climbing a net like Spiderman or testing your own courage and dexterity between high trees and on wobbly wooden constructions is fun. Climbing from mast to mast on a museum freighter is possible at the Cap San Diego high ropes course in Hamburg harbour. The PaderKletterPark in Paderborn impresses with its unusual location on a fish pond and offers exciting climbing fun on six courses.
