Mainau Island ,Germany

      78465 Insel Mainau, Germany

Mainau Island in Germany is similar to keukenhof in Holland.It's like a big wonderful garden with lot's of beautiful flowers and a wonderful scenery.

They have beautiful gardens with different themes.The kids loved the big peacock and duck formed flowers.We visited at the beggining of spring which is still a bit cold but sunny,perfect weather to walk around.They also have playgrounds and picnic place all over the place whenever you want to have a break after a long walk.

When i first saw the place ,it reminds me of the "secret garden" cartoon series that i used to watch when i was a kid.it's a Perfect place to relax and to reminisce.

Inside the park they have souvenir shops and you can find nice postcards or calendars showing the beauty of the place that you can send to your friends or loved ones.They also have restaurants selling "bratwurst" a typical german sausage served with a piece of bread with mustard or ketchup ;)

They also offer different activities for the kids like treasure hunt,children's tour,pony rides etc.

it's worth it to have that Merlin Card if you have Kids,specially if you live at the Center of europe.

 

 

 

 

 

 It was a rainy cold saturday so we thought to go to sea llife since it's an indoor

park which is perfect for Kids.

 

 You'll find different marine life with all the trivias and informations posted on the side of the Aquariums ,sometimes they explain everything about the

animals,how they feed them and it's origin.

 

 It's not just for Kids but for the whole Family.The place is somehow small

but it was really nice and good enough for an afternoon adventure.

 

 

 They don't just have fishes or sea creature since it is called "sea life" but they also have other animals live squirrels,bears and a lot more.They are  very informative and so realistic .

I'm not sure if they're preserved animals or just fake ones but they look real to me.

 

 

 at the end of your trip inside sea life there is a nice souvenire shop waiting for you and a Restaurant for those who wants to have a small meal after the visit.

 

 

after visiting sea life we had a short walk withthe  Kids around Bodensee ( in english lake Constance) which is also a good sidetrip for the whole Family.Very nice place to relax.

If you want to go Shopping or go to the Cinema,just on the other side of sea life there is a big Shopping mall named Lago.
