Action, please!Experience & play

Large playgrounds, event areas, interactive adventure trails, viewing platforms and showrooms: in these parks, exercise and fun are as important as the sensory experience. Families with small children, groups of friends and entertainment-seekers get their money's worth here when they romp around in forest houses, put giant Lego bricks together on meadow areas, swing a mini-golf club or enjoy music at an open-air concert. These worlds of experience turn every excursion into an adventure.
