HOLIDAY MAGAZINE FOR THE REGION OF HILDESHEIM

Sailors large and small are invited to take an exciting ride on the giant
swinging ship in Rasti-Land. Rasti-Land is a water and fun park
for the whole family. One of the main attractions is the high-speed
rollercoaster. Particularly families with small children will enjoy an
eventful day in Rasti-Land. The park has also featured a rafting ride
with a whirlpool since 2002. Would you like a bit of a thrill? Once
the swinging ship, which is installed in an eleven-metre high frame,
is in full swing, the passengers can enjoy a fabulous view from the
top. One of the new attractions in Rasti-Land is the Robber Baron
Castle – climbing towers reach high up into the sky as if they were
growing like wild. In between them, there are wire bridges at lofty
heights, a big slide and endless opportunities to play. Sledding is
also a new attraction. You can shoot down the hillside on snowywhite
tarpaulins on tyres on a thin film of water – the twists and
turns will surprise you. Just next door to Rasti-Land, there is Germany’s
only white-water fun park indoors in “Kids-Dinoworld”. This is
2,500 m 2 (27,000 ft 2 ) of fun for kids any time of the year and in any
weather. “Kids-Dinoworld” is a self-contained amusement park in
a ten-metre high building. Complete with rides, lots of opportunities
to play and elaborate decorations. Kids can discover all kinds of
funny comic dinosaurs in the colourful primeval forest.

Look for precious stones, pan for gold, interpret animal tracks, pet
the animals at the petting zoo or walk along the path that takes
you back to times in the ancient past – in the Family Park Sottrum
in Holle, there are lots of new experiences just waiting for children
and their parents. Experience nature first hand and learning
really can be called child’s play. In the realm of the senses, there is
so much for children to see, hear, touch and smell and in the “Poison
Garden”, they learn to recognise which plants to avoid. You’ll
also find a sense of history in Family Park Sottrum. You can make
fire like a cave man or bake bread in an old stone oven. Old farming
equipment shows how people used to sow and harvest and
the hammer still falls in the old blacksmith’s shop. There is also a
trail through the park that features different mathematical concepts.
You can feel numbers with your feet, the number zero tells
its story, square roots are calculated and Albrecht Dürer explains
his magic square. Leonardo Fibonacci, Pythagoras and Mr Binomal
are all happy to introduce themselves. Mathematics should be fun
and for all the maths teachers who don’t understand that, there is
the “Maths Teacher Punching Machine”. Family Park Sottrum, with
its more than 100 attractions, is nothing short of paradise for kids.
