Dampfkarussell
The Dampfkarussell is a classic carousel in Exploria. Carousels have been delighting children for around 400 years, so a real steam carousel couldn't be missing from Heide Park either. It has been turning since 1989 and was built by Peter Petz.
The concept
Around the old steam engine turn a white swan, a blue and red hot-air balloon with a gondola, and a team of horses pulling a gilded carriage. This gives the carousel a nostalgic, fairytale feel.
The Experience
The carousel has a diameter of 4.1 metres and is 4.25 metres high. It turns gently, at 2 revolutions per minute. A ride lasts about two and a half minutes. Ideal for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

Pick a swan or balloon
Besides horses, there's a white swan, a hot-air balloon and a carriage with horses. Let your child choose.
No height requirement
The Dampfkarussell is suitable for all ages. Ideal for the very youngest.
Look at the engine
The old steam engine stands in the middle. Take a moment to look at it before or after your ride.
Visitor information
There's no minimum height or minimum age. Young children can simply ride with a parent. Check at the ride for the rules on supervision.
