Several thousand guests enter through the main gate during a picnic, and the waiting line varies. The line moves fast and the wait seldom exceeds 20 minutes.
Portable toliet facilities are located outside the gate.
Benches are available for those who need assistance.
Need help? Ask a German Park volunteer at the gate.
To minimize the wait, please review our guidelines and requirements below.
