Freizeitpark Kirchhorst, Amusement park in Isernhagen, Germany
Freizeitpark Kirchhorst was an amusement park on the eastern edge of Kirchhorst in Isernhagen, next to a large nursery and the former Bundesstraße 3. Its grounds covered about 80,000 square metres at first, later expanded to roughly 100,000, with parking for some 3,000 vehicles on both sides of the road, linked by a footbridge. Attractions included a terraced café, a Wild West town with climbing frames, a pony-riding track, a stream with electric boats, a model railway, an old-timer railway, a bouncy castle and, from 1974, a go-kart track.
The park opened in 1971 as "Blumenhof", named after the neighbouring nursery, and was renamed "Wunderland" in 1977 as the grounds were expanded. Its final name was Freizeitpark Kirchhorst, run by Freizeitpark Kirchhorst Bembom Brothers GmbH after the Dutch Bembom family took over operations in 1980. It closed in 1986, likely due to high official requirements, high lease payments and competition from Heide Park Soltau, opened in 1978.
The park's name first referenced the neighbouring nursery: it opened in 1971 as "Blumenhof" and was renamed "Wunderland" in 1977. Its Wild West town with climbing frames was among the original attractions, alongside a pony-riding track and a stream with electric boats.
The grounds covered about 80,000 square metres at first, later expanded to roughly 100,000. Parking for some 3,000 vehicles stood on both sides of the Bundesstraße 3, linked by a footbridge. The site lay at the eastern edge of Kirchhorst next to a large nursery.
The roof over the park restaurant was the largest sunshade in Europe at the time. The park opened in 1971 as Blumenhof, named after the neighbouring nursery, and was renamed Wunderland in 1977. In 1980 the Dutch Bembom family took over operations and built many further attractions.
