The Best Family-Friendly Activities Around Lake Constance
Lake Constance is one of the most child-friendly destinations in Germany and a lot of families choose to move here after they have kids. And it’s no wonder, thanks to all the green pastures and forests where kids can frolic freely as well as the many child-centric activities from parks to zoos and much more.
Affenberg
Kids will love this 20-hectare forest sanctuary where around 200 Barbary macaques monkeys roam around freely. All visitors get a handful of popcorn at the entrance and as they stroll around the marked paths, the friendly monkeys come by and stretch out their hands for a snack. Affenberg also includes a pond with water birds and carp, an enclosure with fallow deer and a colony of white storks who come here in the spring and summer.
