What people are saying about Nuremberg

A place with few rides, our children 4J and almost 2J really liked it. Advantage no queues. From one attraction to another and the children could let off steam immediately. As a parent you could join in or watch on the fringes of the action. Another advantage, although sold out, it was never overcrowded. We will go there again... We think children up to the age of 10 will definitely have a lot of fun there...

It was an excellent activity which helped us explore the city in a different and interactive way. The puzzles were very nice and the information very interesting . We really enoyed the walk and route. We will do it again to other cities for sure!

Child ticket wasn’t available on this app. It was cheaper if you got the child ticket at the counter

My children were really funny. It's a satisfying place.

Alles hat super funktioniert. insgesamt empfehlenswert!
