Family trip to Munster with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Munster is famous for its historic landmarks and has many places of interest and entertainment venues to enjoy as a family. Schwarzlicht Semester 3-D Minigolf is one of the most fun-filled and varied recreation centers to visit with preschool kids. It invites visitors to have some fun at unique 3-D minigolf playfields and is noteworthy for its striking interior design. The center’s halls are decorated with neon signs and lights of all shades and colors. To top it all off, there’s a cozy cafe to relax after a joyful day full of exciting activities.

Munster’s main attraction for children is arguably the All Weather Zoo, one of Germany’s largest and most beautiful zoos. In addition to its large variety of presented species, the park is also known for its splendid landscape design. Here, all animals live in spacious enclosures that have been designed to resemble natural living environments. Say, brown bears live in a large enclosure with an artificial pond, whereas seals inhabit a full-scale several meters deep reservoir. The zoo boasts a tropical enclosure with monkeys and often runs fun performances involving penguins. There is also an aviary with many exotic birds for visitors to interact with.

Munster is a perfect place for active leisure, with Lake Aasee being quite popular among all fans of outdoor activities. Its spectacular and fully equipped beach is great for enjoying watersports or simply renting a boat to explore the lake’s mirror-like surface. As if this wasn’t enough, there’s also a beautiful park on the shore with dedicated picnic areas. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

If you’d rather stay in the city, we recommend that you visit the Botanical Garden Münster. This garden is a local hot-spot among tourists with children, looking simply gorgeous in the summer with a significant part of its exposition located outdoors. The garden is riddled with many welcoming trails, information signs that make the walk even more interesting, and cozy benches in the shade of the branching trees. The botanical garden is hands down one of the most beautiful places in the city, so be sure not to miss out on it.

If you and your family prefer to hang out in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere then you should definitely pay a visit to the Biologische Station Rieselfelder Park. This park is located near the city and is perfect for hiking and cycling. Many rare plants grow on the territory of the park, and visitors can learn more about them by joining a guided tour across its territory. Kids will enjoy their pastime in the park, running along broad walkways, playing in the picturesque glades, and even feeding the swans living on the lake.

If you’d like to diversify your family leisure with interesting cultural events, make sure to visit the LWL Museum fur Naturkunde (Natural Science Museum). Its exposition is dedicated to the nature of the region and includes unique ancient fossils, as well as models of prehistoric animals and birds. A large exhibition is dedicated to animals living in local lakes and rivers. What’s more, the museum has a tiny planetarium that runs engaging guided tours for children. The museum also has a small screening hall that shows popular science documentaries and often hosts fascinating thematic events and lectures. So, as you can see, Munster has family entertainment options for every taste and budget.
