Vacation time is outing time—and what better destination than a theme park? It doesn’t always have to be the big parks like Legoland Germany. It’s especially the small, family-friendly parks that exude a very special magic and make children’s eyes light up. From Munich, the Fairy Tale Forest in the Isar Valley is a particularly great option. The name says it all, so you can look forward to a day in the forest full of magical stories.
A World of Fairytale Magic
The Fairy Tale Forest in the Isar Valley spans over 40,000 square meters and takes you on a wonderful journey. The heart of the park is, of course, the fairy tales, which are told to you at various huts by around 260 characters. You can choose from over 20 stories. From Rumpelstiltskin to Snow White to Little Red Riding Hood, you can listen to these well-known classics in either German or English. Even Max and Moritz are there, getting up to their usual mischief. The park’s fairy-tale atmosphere is enhanced not least by its lovingly detailed design.
In addition, the Fairy Tale Forest offers other attractions for various age groups, ensuring plenty of variety. Older children can venture onto the Oachkatzlbahn for a thrilling ride, while the little ones take to the skies on a hot-air balloon ride. Alongside the rides, there are various play and climbing areas where you can really let off some steam. There’s even a baby playground with a nostalgic carousel, so even the youngest family members aren’t left out.
