Family-friendly places in Cologne
Cologne has plenty to offer families looking for a shared day out. The Chocolate Museum traces the journey of cocoa, while Cologne Zoo and the neighbouring Flora gardens combine wildlife and nature in one green setting. The Alter Markt is a relaxed spot to stroll, and the Roman-Germanic Museum opens a window onto the city's ancient past. For thrills, Phantasialand draws crowds with Colorado Adventure and Mystery Castle, and the Geister Rikscha adds a spooky twist. Lentpark, Lanxess Arena, and the open-air LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern round out the options for a wide range of ages and interests.
