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

There are many beautiful and interesting places in Duisburg where one can have a great time with the whole family. Lovers of outdoor recreation often go to the park Blauer See Duisburg-Bissingheim, in whose territory is a large beautiful lake. One can wonderfully spend an entire day here by playing active games or just taking a walk in the vast park, while children will be able to feed the ducks living in the lake. The park is very large and beautiful. It is especially interesting to visit it in the warm season, when holidaymakers are offered boat trips on the lake.

On a rainy day, one can go to the entertainment center Moonlight Minigolf, which is also focused on family recreation. It has very original mini-golf courses decorated with artistic illumination and unusual figures. Not only adults, but also children who are given special small sticks for hire, can hone the skills of golfing here. In the center, one can perfectly relax during the day, enjoying your favorite game and trying out signature dishes in the cafe.

Travelers with children should definitely visit the Zoo Duisburg. It does not have an impressive scale, but it offers visitors the opportunity to admire rare exotic animals. In the zoo, there are typical representatives of the African fauna, inhabitants of the faraway rainforests, children’s beloved- monkeys, as well as a large pavilion with birds. There is also a small aquarium on the territory of the zoo, where one can watch tropical fish and other mysterious inhabitants of the sea depths. Among other interesting features of the zoo, is worth noting the presence of a Chinese garden with very nice gazebos, and playgrounds equipped for kids. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Among the museums of Duisburg which are worth visiting with children, it is worth highlighting the Museum der Deutschen Binnenschifffahrt. Its exposition is devoted to the history of navigation. Some of its exhibits are located in an indoor pavilion, and the other part - in the open air. Children will definitely like to look at models of old ships. They will also be able to see a collection of bottles with ship letters and, under the guidance of the guide, even read some notes of sailors. An obligatory part of the excursion is a walk through the old ships, which after many years are still in excellent condition.

In Duisburg, there is the magnificent Sportpark Duisburg. It will be a great relaxation place for those who cannot imagine everyday life without their favorite sports entertainments. The park is quite large and well maintained. There is a beautiful lake with ducks on its territory, a small stadium with a football field, and many paths for hiking and cycling. This park is beautiful at any time of the year. There are always many cyclists and joggers in the summer and in winter, one can ski or enjoy other winter entertainments in the park.

There are also quite unusual vacation spots in Duisburg, which adventure lovers would like. An excellent example is the Landschaftspark, which was opened on the territory of an old industrial plant. When the plant was closed, the city authorities wanted to dismantle all the buildings on its territory, but later decided to leave everything as it is and make the territory open for visiting. While walking around this unusual “technopark”, one can see a lot of the most incredible structures and cob webbing of pipes and stairs. Many old industrial buildings in summer are entwined with plants, which makes their appearance even more original.
