Discover Nostalgiekarussell
Our tips:
- Come after dark
- Upstairs or downstairs
- For the little ones too
Nostalgiekarussell
The Nostalgiekarussell is a double-decker carousel near the park entrance. It has been turning since 1978 and was refurbished in 1997. Romantic gondolas and horse-drawn carriages take you back to the days of the old-fashioned funfair.
The concept
When you see the carousel, you can't help thinking of sword swallowers, candyfloss and roasted almonds. The carousel is 12.5 metres tall and turns at 3.5 revolutions per minute. There's a red telephone box next to it, as a nod to the past.
The Experience
A ride lasts about two and a half minutes. You choose a horse, a carriage or a gondola and gently go round, with music in the background. It's fine for young children, and for grandma and grandpa too.
