A fun place for families

Elbauenpark, that prides itself on being a place where recreational fun combines with easy learning, is a satisfying day out. The Millennium Tower (known fondly as “the smartest tower in the world”) is one of the places where you can see that the fact lives up to the expectation. 6 different exhibitions on 6 different floors explore 6000 years of human history. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like inside an alchemist’s chamber, or if you’d like to try out the hemisphere experiment by Otto Von Guericke, here’s the place. Other family-pleasers include – the butterfly house, and the summer toboggan run, where you slide down a 400 m track. If while you’re out picnicking, you see a ranger explaining the paw prints of pine-martins to school children, it’ll give meaning to the words – learning can be fun.
