Schloss Freudenberg

I really enjoyed walking around Schloss Fruedenburg today, and if I had seen a donation spot I definitely would have given to this little hidden gem. If you have small children I think they would love all of the activities available for children. It was just fun walking around the Schloss and looking at all of the things they have built for climbing, touching, looking, and experiencing. Looking forward to going back there this spring.

So, this place is a little weird but in a good way. There are large bowls filled with water, and you can rub your hands around the rim and try to make music. There are pots with random things inside them and you reach in your hands and try to focus on how these those things feel. There are violin bows that you can strum on pieces of metal to make patterns in the sand. There are gongs, shadow puppets, and lots of other interesting things inside the castle! There also many things found in the garden outside of the castle, including a barefoot park and two large swings. The garden is also just fun to walk around! We spent several hours here, and really had a great time. It’s expensive for us, so we probably won’t be back again. There were also some weird times when my kids were having fun, but then were scolded by the people that worked there for having too much fun.

Geared toward the under 12 crowd. The exhibits are interesting and for the most part, hands-on. The booklet one receives upon entry is decent and its explanations are rudimentary. All-in-all, it kept the grandkids occupied for 3 hours, hence the 4 stars.

Best place for the kids to learn the physics with Fun 😊. You can spend the whole day over there no problem for parking for car and also there are some restaurant or cafe where you can get the basic food.

We went there on a public holiday with our 4-year-old son and our baby daughter, planning to have coffee and cake while letting our son run around. We were surprised when we were asked to buy tickets (17 EUR for adults and 7 EUR for kids), even though we had no intention of visiting the villa inside, or using anything else than the café and the playground. Since we have a 5-month-old baby in a stroller, we couldn't even if we wanted to. So we bought the tickets, paying 41 EUR for a few hours of sitting in their garden and a few turns down the slide for our son. I wouldn't recommend it for spontaneous visits, unless you plan to spend the whole day there and use all of their amenities, which would make paying this price worthwhile. Parking was also a problem, since the only option is to park along a road where cars drive 50 km/h. Getting kids in and out of the car is risky and stressful. Two stars in the end: the second star is for the beautiful setting in the nature and polite staff. But they should really work on better informing visitors (who are not insiders already) of what the rules are and what this place is about.

Amazing place for a rainy afternoon, I especially recommend the gong room

Experience of a lifetime. Had so much fun experiencing about my senses and was able to understand more about physics than I did in high school, lol. Great adventurous place and you will rethink all day about the events that took place there. The man who explained to us everything was very friendly and convenient. Would highly recommend it.

Followed the signs on the footpath. In the woods, the paths looked nothing like the map, no clear straight way ahead and we hardly found the castle, when we'd already walked past ist.A few signs here and there would help. Till then, don't park on the parking lot.
