Somewhat busy (maybe on a weekend only?), but truly amazing park, especially in late spring all in blossom. There was an jazz orchestra concert when we visited it. This added up to a festive mood. An exhibition of mini-railway is impressive. We also went as far as the bee-house and bought some fresh honey there.

Neat and clean place. Had really fun walking around with kids and family. Best thing was wheel chair for old people, person who have difficulties walking.
Info: at Haupteingang you will find wheel chair and you deposit 10€ at pick up time and get back as when you return it.
Entrance price is 4€ for adult and for child under 5 are allowed free of cost.

At first, the entry fee is 2€ for adult, and there are many entries to this particular place so if you're planning on visiting your friends at this place make sure at which entrance you're. Then once you step in, the place seems so serene and calm, as you start tracing your path in the park you'll fall in love with the place. But I feel the entrance fee of 2€ wasn't that worthy.

A nice place for a walk either alone or with the family. There are also few restaurants and beer garden. You can also enjoy jogging.

Grugapark is a favorite place to visit during weekdays and weekends. It’s green and colorful. In general, the park is in excellent conditions. There are multiple children playgrounds and other attractions. I never went on the meadows before. Now I have a child who wants to explore and crawl around. To my disappointment I found out that I can’t really let him do this as the green fields are polluted with ducks excrements. At first I thought that I’m walking on a meadow designated for dogs but then I noticed the little presents on every green field we stepped on which is also occupied by the ducks. I know it is natural but still it’s quite disgusting.

Very well tended and laid out gardens.
We went in autumn when the leaves were turning a lovely red colour.
Plenty of secluded and peaceful areas and I would love to see it in full bloom in the summer.

Awesome park for the whole family. It's probably more beautiful during Spring. Regardless, it's still a nice place to walk around.
