Springtime in the region around Köln has given way to the opening of a delightful new attraction—the Erdbeerpark at Erlebnisbauernhof Gertrudenhof. Launched this year, the park extends its welcoming arms to families, food lovers, and anyone eager for a fun adventure. The vibrant strawberry park operates daily until June 28, 2026, allowing all to bask in the sweetness of strawberries and excitement.
Spanning an impressive 25,000 square meters, the Erdbeerpark boasts an array of attractions promising great fun. From XXL strawberry bouncy castles to the playful “Strawberry Beach” for children, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. Those up for challenges can leap into a world of bouncy fun on the XXL trampoline park or test their skills with 5000 oversized LEGO bricks at the “Pirate Beach.” Of course, what would a strawberry park be without a charming Erdbeer-Café offering handcrafted strawberry delights? Visitors can even snap memorable photos at unique spots like Strawberry Street and the titanic strawberry chess set, making every visit an opportunity to create lasting memories.

The park is open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with extended hours on weekends, starting at 9:00 AM.
