Nuremberg is one of the most famous cities in Germany. It is known for the unique city center, sausages, lebkuchen, and the Christmas Market.
We visited the Christmas Market last December and you can find that post here: Christmas Markets and Prague
All of these things are great but for those families with children there is also another hidden gem in Nuremberg. It is Playmobil Funpark!
This amusement park is focused on active and imaginative play. There are no rides. Instead it is play areas and playgrounds that are set up around different Playmobil themes. For example:
Castle:
Farm:
Noah’s Ark:
This area had an “under 3” water table and a 3+ water table which were different heights. Our kids would have stayed here the entire time if possible.
Fairies:
And those are just the areas we were able to get to before the kids were worn out. We missed an entire water and mud playground, a pirate ship and the dinosaur area. I absolutely love this place. It is an ideal park for young kids and such a fun and unique set up.
We were able to have lunch in their indoor facility. It has large play areas filled with Playmobil toys. There is also an indoor playground.
They have these little cubbies tucked in with the eating tables. The wall was just high enough to keep her in. Perfect!
I found out that in the winter they close down most of the park but you can get into this indoor play area for only EUR 1.50. That is a steal of a deal. So if you are driving past the park in the winter stop by and let the kids run wild while you enjoy a coffee.
The park is also not too far from Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which is another famous spot. We had the Littleboy family with us so we made sure to make a trip over there as well.
We have been to Rothenburg several times before and it never disappoints. You can read more about the town here: Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Overall we had a great little weekend trip. I highly recommend Playmobil Funpark. So get out there and have some fun!
