Family in Ludwigshafen
Ebert Park, Park Island and the Rhine bank with children
Ludwigshafen has more to offer families than you might expect at first glance. The expansive Ebert Park with its play areas, the nature-rich Park Island and the bank of the Rhine invite carefree days outdoors. Watching ships, romping across water meadows or picnicking by the river – between the big city and the stream, children find plenty of space. The city's diverse range of museums and events also keeps offering programmes that delight young and old visitors alike.
