Potts park

Potts Park sits at the foot of the Wiehen Mountains and offers rides and attractions designed for children from age three onward. The grounds feature a variety of play areas and experience zones spread across the property.

Karl Heinrich Pott founded the site in 1969 on former mining grounds, initially creating a transportation-themed space showcasing 20th-century mobility. The location developed over time into a family leisure destination.

The Terra Phenomenalis science center displays physical phenomena and optical illusions in interactive spaces where visitors can explore and experiment. You can experience how nature works through hands-on activities and demonstrations.

The park operates across several months of the year and offers different admission options depending on the time of day. Weekdays tend to have shorter waits, making them a good choice if you want to avoid crowds.

The Giant Apartment features oversized furniture and objects scaled to twice the normal size, creating an unusual sense of scale. Walking through these rooms gives visitors a strange perspective that feels quite disorienting and memorable.
