There are some great cities and destinations, attractions that you can visit, and the climate is quite similar to that of France.

Head to a theme park
First up, let’s talk about theme parks. Many of you will consider theme parks or other similar attractions when you are away with the family.

There is also Europa Park. Home to a total of 11 rollercoasters and is Germany’s largest theme park and is situated in the area of Rust. For any lego fans, you will be pleased to know that Germany has its very own Lego Land and it could rival our ever-popular Windsor resort.
Visit the Zoo
Another firm family attraction would be to consider visiting a Zoo. ZooBerlin has one of the most extensive collections of animals in one place, and with it being close to the city of Berlin, could be the perfect attraction to combine with your stay in Germany. There are also many others around the country that each offer different things. Heading to Munchener Tierpark Hellabrunn where you can see some of the animals in uncaged environments. Making it an immersive experience. There is also the Tierpark Hagenback. No matter where you are in Germany you are bound to find an animal attraction that the whole family will love.
