    (Translated by Google) Today I would like to mention the Coffee bike. Best of coffee and muffins. It is opposite the Ronald MC Donald house. An absolute must. There are different types of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Absolutely recommendable: muffins; Chocolate Blueberry & Vanilla Cheesecake Muffins. (Original) Heute möchte ich das Coffee bike erwähnen.

    Went there on 18.4.2021. Very beautiful park perfectly maintained with flowers/ blumen everywhere and a round circle of flower arrangement in middle of park. The whole round tour is absolutely must. 2€ entry fee and has a restaurant (closed due to corona). Small lakes with super beautiful mallards inside, eating and having fun. Many sitting areas and chairs placed for secluded sittings. Perfect if you take your own coffee and small lunch with you. The small lake has wooden platform with benches and ducks doing their thing. Super relaxing.

    Ein wunderschöner Park! Wir kommen mit unseren Kindern immer wieder gerne in den Grugapark. Einen Stern Abzug dennoch, aufgrund der absolut mangelnden Hygiene in den Toiletten! Oft und ausreichend geputzt wird da definitiv nicht. (Translated by Google) A beautiful park! We always enjoy coming to the Grugapark with our children. One star deduction, however, due to the absolute lack of hygiene in the toilets! It is definitely not cleaned often and sufficiently.

    Dieser Park kostet Eintritt, ist dafür aber gepflegt und schön. Ähnliches gibt es in Dortmund oder in Berlin-Marzahn. Ich persönlich finde es so besser, da ich dann beim Spaziergang am Wochenende nicht auf Müll, randalierendes und BtM-konsumierendes Volk treffe. Ein Punkt Abzug für die aus der Zeit gefallene hässliche Betonbrücke über den Teich. (Translated by Google) This park costs admission, but it is well-kept and beautiful. There is something similar in Dortmund or in Berlin-Marzahn. Personally, I think it's better that way, because I don't come across rubbish, rioting and BtM-consuming people when I go for a walk at the weekend. One point deduction for the ugly concrete bridge over the pond, which has fallen out of time.

    As usual a great stay with plenty of opportunities. Spacey park with playgrounds, green areas, waterfalls, a small railway, flowers, animals...

    At first, the entry fee is 2€ for adult, and there are many entries to this particular place so if you're planning on visiting your friends at this place make sure at which entrance you're. Then once you step in, the place seems so serene and calm, as you start tracing your path in the park you'll fall in love with the place. But I feel the entrance fee of 2€ wasn't that worthy.

    Somewhat busy (maybe on a weekend only?), but truly amazing park, especially in late spring all in blossom. There was an jazz orchestra concert when we visited it. This added up to a festive mood. An exhibition of mini-railway is impressive. We also went as far as the bee-house and bought some fresh honey there.

    Very well tended and laid out gardens. We went in autumn when the leaves were turning a lovely red colour. Plenty of secluded and peaceful areas and I would love to see it in full bloom in the summer.

    Neat and clean place. Had really fun walking around with kids and family. Best thing was wheel chair for old people, person who have difficulties walking. Info: at Haupteingang you will find wheel chair and you deposit 10€ at pick up time and get back as when you return it. Entrance price is 4€ for adult and for child under 5 are allowed free of cost.

    (Translated by Google) Huge complex with attached swimming pool. Here the whole family can spend the whole day and would not see everything yet. It is definitely worth taking a look there. Bus and train connections. Huge parking areas. Right near the Grugahallen. (Original) Riesen Anlage mit anhängenden Schwimmbad.Hier kann die ganze Familie den ganzen Tag verbringen und würde noch nicht alles sehen.Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall dort einmal vorbei zu schauen.Bus und Bahnanschlüsse.Riesige Parkflächen.Direkt in der Nähe der Grugahallen.

    Ein wunderschöner Park mit jede Menge Eindrücke zum sammeln! Es gibt viele schöne Pflanzen, Gewächshäuser, Spielplätze und sogar Tiergehege mit Ziegen, Hirschen und viele verschiedene Vögel. Den Park umrundet man in circa 2-3 Stunden und hat da allerdings noch nicht alles gesehen. Es gibt wirklich vieles zu entdecken. Ein Punkt Abzug, da es wirklich wenig Cafés oder Möglichkeiten zum Essen und trinken gibt. Toiletten sind einigermaßen verteilt und gut auffindbar. Parkplätze sind um den Grugapark herum vielseitig vorhanden. Toll! (Translated by Google) A beautiful park with lots of impressions to collect! There are many beautiful plants, greenhouses, playgrounds and even animal enclosures with goats, deer and many different birds. You can walk around the park in about 2-3 hours and have not seen everything yet. There really is a lot to discover. A point deduction as there are really few cafes or places to eat and drink. Toilets are reasonably distributed and easy to find. There are many parking spaces around the Grugapark. Great!

    This park is splendid at any season! I most like it on spring and late autumn. Weekday's visit is preferable, certainly.

    It's just serene to visit... All the facilities and areas and displays just exemplify the experience. Has good places to sit back and relax, has some points for people who like to click pictures, has a good number of birds, animals and gardens. It is enough to keep you busy for over 4-5 hours.

  • 4/5 Nate P. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a very nice, large garden with lots of things to see. We saw tons of families enjoying the facilities, and there seemed to be a lot for the kids to do. We just happened to visit at the same time as there was a big fall exhibition of local producers, which was a neat experience. It is a very large park - it took us more than an hour to just walk the exterior trail around the northern end of the park at a casual pace, stopping to check things out. Be sure to plan things out in advance. Great options for families, and there are a lot of gardens with flowers and art scattered around. Admission was only 4 Euros a person for adults, which wasn't bad for the scale.

    Der Grugapark ist immer wieder schön jedoch am WE nur Abends zu empfehlen -da es uns sonst zu überfüllt ist 👍🍀🍀🍀🍀😉 (Translated by Google) The Grugapark is always nice, but only recommended in the evening on weekends - otherwise it's too crowded for us 👍🍀🍀🍀🍀😉

  • 5/5 Mayas Abo N. 1 year ago on Google
    If you happen to be in Essen, don't miss this gorgeous park! Beautiful gardens with lots of flowers, a waterfall, stunning birds like pelicans, flamingos, parrots, and owls, ponds with tiny frogs, goats that you can feed and pet, ponies that kids can ride, a few playgrounds, a maze, and picnic tables and areas with chairs can all be found in the park. and a nice ride around the park on the train. You will always have a wonderful time! For me it is a must visit once or twice every year

  • 4/5 Azian S. 8 months ago on Google
    This park is huge and ideal for families with children. It is a park where you can spend your entire day relaxing and enjoying your day. The entrance is pretty cheap i.e. 4€ per adult, but the food and drinks at the restaurant were a bit too pricey. The best is to take your own picnic basket. There are plenty of nice spots to enjoy a picnic with your loved ones.

  • 5/5 Nasim A. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a very good place to spend the day! There are so many beautiful gardens. Waterfall stops after 6 pm.

  • 5/5 Yevheniia M. 8 months ago on Google
    Perfect place to spend sunny day here. Has a big territory, different entertainments for children, a small contact zoo. There are a wide range of plants and flowers.

  • 5/5 Crewka 6 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous park, many great areas. Something for adults, something for children. You can see birds or take a small train around the park. Have us a respite from the bussiness of Messe.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Bester und schönster Park vonne ganze Welt, da machsse nix. (Translated by Google) The best and most beautiful park in the whole world, don't do anything about it.

  • 5/5 Noor K. 9 months ago on Google
    Best park in the world, no joke. There is a small entry fee but it was so worth it. I loved seeing the rose garden and the petting zoo. Super well maintained.

    Such a beautiful park, plenty of playgrounds, amazing animals and pretty flowers. We spent the whole day here and plan on going again before we leave.

    Awesome evening walk and exploring location

  • 5/5 Diana A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place with a great variety of plants and flowers, and very relaxing areas where to sit and spend a nice afternoon.

  • 5/5 Gangalic C. 3 years ago on Google
    Very well maintained park. It has various lawns and lakes around it, also with some smaller botanical gardens inside. Furthermore, it also includes a mini farm with several typical farm animals (horses, pigs, poultry). There is an entry fee, but it is just symbolic : 2€ for adults and 1.2€ for students and elderly. Worth the money.

  • 5/5 Anita R. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this park.

  • 4/5 Smitha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful green park in the middle of city. Free entrance after 19.00hrs. A special section was also dedicated to different fearless women with their portraits.

  • 5/5 Krasimira I. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a beautiful, green and very nice place! I like it! I recommend it to all who want to spend a relaxing day in nature.

  • 5/5 Robert N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to enjoy and relax. You can walk for hours, but you can also relax on a lawn. It has different parts so there os always a nice surprise. And every season different flowers.

  • 5/5 Adrian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good, although you pay to get in well organised and safe, plenty of space to get away with cafes if required. Grazing geese would you believe it

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 2 years ago on Google
    URLAUB 😉 IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND ENJOY YOUR TIME

  • 4/5 Ranjit M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good place to visit and beautiful views

  • 5/5 Anna von S. 1 year ago on Google
    Es ist wunderschön, für Klein und Groß was dabei und der Eintritt ist auch nicht hoch. Wir parken am liebsten an dem Eingang der Mustergärten. Highlight ist der Streichelzoo mit Pommes essen. (Translated by Google) It is beautiful, there is something for young and old and the entrance fee is not high either. We prefer to park at the entrance to the model gardens. The highlight is the petting zoo with fries.

  • 4/5 EY J. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a nice place to let kids play, they can see some animals as well as take a walk. You can spend some time there. The entrance fee is just 2 Euros.

  • 5/5 Maria A. 2 years ago on Google
    Its very beautiful garden. And very peaceful place. I recommend the people must visit this place. They will be not disappointed

  • 5/5 Zia Nishat A. 2 years ago on Google
    The park is very cool if you just want to go somewhere where you can kind of switch of and relax. It's mostly designed for parents with their little children, as there are many activities like playgrounds or trampolines, but as a person not belonging in one of those categories it is just cool to walk there. Even if it costs 2 euros of entrance fee, it is a pretty big park and there are a few sights and food spaces included. I personally really liked the plus sized glashouse, in which there were three spaces for different climates from around the world. The tropics were my favorite. Really worth visiting, but only if the weather is good and you have a few hours to spare.

  • 5/5 Shaiel S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is an amazing place to just calm your nerves with its beauty. This is a huge park with a lot of beautiful places and nice activities to do. There is a little train that does a whole tour through the park. The prices are kind of high, but other than that I can highly recommend this park.

  • 5/5 Maen E. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice place for a walk either alone or with the family. There are also few restaurants and beer garden. You can also enjoy jogging.

  • 4/5 Velina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Grugapark is a favorite place to visit during weekdays and weekends. It’s green and colorful. In general, the park is in excellent conditions. There are multiple children playgrounds and other attractions. I never went on the meadows before. Now I have a child who wants to explore and crawl around. To my disappointment I found out that I can’t really let him do this as the green fields are polluted with ducks excrements. At first I thought that I’m walking on a meadow designated for dogs but then I noticed the little presents on every green field we stepped on which is also occupied by the ducks. I know it is natural but still it’s quite disgusting.

  • 5/5 Ken Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome park for the whole family. It's probably more beautiful during Spring. Regardless, it's still a nice place to walk around.

  • 5/5 Debora D. 1 year ago on Google
    So beautiful, just a wonderful park, if you are in Essen don’t miss it!!! Beautiful gardens with many flowers, waterfall, beautiful birds such as pelicans, flamingos, parrots and owls, there are ponds with little frogs, you can feed and pet goats, kids can ride a pony, there are few playgrounds as well, a maze, beach chairs around the whole park to have a rest or take a sunbath, picnic areas and tables. And a lovely train ride around the park. It was a beautiful experience for the whole family!
