Taunus Wunderland, Amusement park in Schlangenbad, Germany.

Taunus Wunderland is a family amusement park near Schlangenbad, Hesse, on a 4-hectare site at 460 to 480 m in the Hoher Taunus. Since 2016 it has been divided into themed areas: Muckeldorf, Opa Alfreds Dinotal, Onkel Bennos Bauernhof, Tante Rosis Zuckerwatteland and Aryas Drachenschlucht. In the dinosaur area stand large tan replicas with a rough, plaster-like surface, among them a low-necked quadruped and a taller long-necked figure partly hidden by bushes.

Taunus Wunderland opened on 12 May 1966 as a fairy-tale forest and petting zoo founded by Gunhilde Maxeiner and her husband, showing 400 animals including chimpanzees, kangaroos and emus. In 1998 Otto Barth senior bought the park and turned it into an amusement park with rides; the Heissner ceramic fairy-tale figures and part of the plastic dinosaur replicas were removed. From 2016 the concept was reworked into themed areas with new mascots.

The name refers to the Taunus hills that rise around the site, a wooded range long favored for weekend outings and fresh air. Families from nearby towns return year after year, weaving the park into summer routines that span generations and create a sense of local continuity.

The grounds hold several food stalls and picnic spots that fill quickly on warm days and invite visitors to settle for a while. Many paths accommodate wheelchairs, and rest zones appear throughout the park, allowing pauses when needed.

The park keeps part of its original collection of plastic dinosaur replicas, now enlarged with new figures. In Opa Alfreds Dinotal, two large tan-coloured models with rough plaster-like surfaces stand on grass: a squat four-legged one with lowered head and a taller long-necked one partly hidden by bushes. A dinosaur slide and a pedal-powered Dino Bahn run alongside them.
