Simon describes the Zirndorf Funpark well. The activities are mostly for kids - we did have some fun with the floating rafts. They do have a Biergarten there with higher end dining options and of course beer etc. It's open into the evening after the rest of the Funpark has closed. Overall I found it entertaining and of course the shop is the big fun for a collector. There are hotel photos in my travel thread in the Collector Club forum, it's a very nice hotel with big rooms and sleeping for up to 4 in a room. Prices are high but it's really aimed at family groups. The hotel stay includes breakfast. Unlike an American hotel where that usually means access to a bowl of fruit and some bagels , in Zirndorf you get access to a restaurant style buffet at the HOB center across the street. Hot foods like bacon and eggs, cold foods like cereal plus a full range of drink options.

You can see lots of Zirndorf Funpark photos on my Flickr page. I will add them to my travel thread eventually.

Me thinks we could share a room there between us.............. To cut expenses.

I wonder if there is a post office near the funpark... is there? That would be SOOOOOOOOOO useful.  ;D

Thanks for the praise, Ras.

How much is the Lego-Merlin park entry fee? It would be interesting to compare.

I think the fees were $80 for adults and $70 for kids. The hotel was $160/night, oh all that playmobil I could have bought  :'(
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

To ENTER the park ONE DAY?! That seems quite expensive..

Ever checked out Disney World prices?

But it does seem extremely expensive.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I was able to find coupons in the lego club publications :lol: yes it is quite expensive but around here we have quite a few theme/ride parks so you get used to the high prices of all these places. You can not do a lot for under $100 at child oriented  excursions around the west coast. We just went to a science park in SF and it is over $100 to get in for a large family
