An excellent family park in Magdeburg, covering about 100 hectares, which we recommend. It was created for the 1999 garden festival and, so far, we haven't visited a better place in Germany to hold such festivals, though we've visited quite a few. This is most likely due to the fact that the scale of festivals has decreased recently.

The most interesting one is not to be missed. It's easily recognisable by the chic tower with slides, which will appeal not only to children but also to adults.
