Minigolf im Wildpark, Miniature golf course in Schwentinental, Germany
Minigolf im Wildpark is a miniature golf course in Schwentinental, set inside a wildlife park in northern Germany. The course runs through a green, wooded area alongside the park's animal enclosures, making it part of a larger outdoor leisure site.
The miniature golf course was added as part of the broader leisure offer of the wildlife park, which developed over the second half of the 20th century. Adding recreational activities like minigolf to wildlife parks was common across Germany during that period as a way to attract families.
Miniature golf is a popular leisure activity across Germany for all age groups, and this course fits naturally into that tradition. Families and groups often combine a round of golf with a visit to the surrounding wildlife park as part of a day out.
The course is open to all ages and no prior experience is needed to enjoy a round. Since it is entirely outdoors, a visit on a dry day makes for a more comfortable experience.
The course sits directly next to the animal enclosures of the wildlife park, so it is possible to watch deer or other animals at close range while playing. This means a visit can be interesting even for someone who is more curious about the park's wildlife than about the game itself.
