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.

Abenteuerpark Immenstaad

This adventure park is the perfect place for active kids who like to spend their time climbing high up in the trees. The more than 300 stations up in the trees have plenty of ropes, ladders, poles and obstacles so kids can have a real adventure in nature. Of course, every tree climber is outfitted with a secure harness and hard hat and the park even has a special course for younger kids.

Take a trip to the amazing underwater world at Sea Life, where kids can see marine life up close. With more than 180,000 creatures living in themed habitats, the park has a total of 50 aquariums and six sanctuaries including a Rainforest Adventure. From jellyfish to sea turtles, penguins to seahorses and sharks to stingrays, Sea Life makes for an amazing day of underwater exploration.

Wildpark Sonnenhalde

Lake Constance is known for its many beautiful and traditional farms and so an introduction to the local farm animals is a great activity for kids. This 15-hectare park has about 2.5 kilometres of natural paths that lead past enclosures with many animals such as boars, mouflons, sheep, lamas and deer. In another enclosure by the playground, kids can also get acquainted with turkeys, chickens, rabbits, goats and peacocks.
