One of the largest cities in Lower Saxony - Oldenburg - is a great option for a family holiday. Here, besides numerous attractions (Oldenburg Castle, the Town Hall, St. Lambert's Church), children will like entertainment centers and parks where you can have a nice walk or picnic. Outdoor activities ideal for the whole family include zipline, golf, SUP-boarding.
The first place to go with kids while in Oldenburg is Olantis Huntebad Water Park. The complex houses a swimming pool, three water slides, a pool for the smallest ones, and a "rapid river". It is very well maintained and clean, due to which it's a pleasure to spend time here. On the outskirts of the city is another wonderful canter - Freizeitzentrum Hatten. This is an outdoor pool, so it is only available in summer. The water center offers a campsite, a playground, and a climbing wall - all one might need for enjoying active leisure. Apart from that, in late July or early August, Freizeitzentrum Hatten hosts an annual children's festival. If you happen to visit the city at this time, don't miss your chance to get a charge of positive emotions.
Wild- und Freizeitpark Ostrittrum Zoo can also be found on the outskirts. Here, among green landscapes striking in their beauty, you can see alpacas, beavers, goats, turkeys, and monkeys. Kids will be offered to play on a specially equipped playground and slide down a pirate ship. Another zoo is equally noteworthy.
