Rediscover Lower Saxony: football golf, barefoot parks and more!
When planning excursions, Lower Saxony has a lot to offer - and off the beaten path! Families and active holidaymakers can look forward to a range of exciting leisure activities that are not only cost-effective but also less crowded, especially during the school holidays. The variety ranges from action-packed experiences such as football golf to relaxing excursions to butterfly parks. The South German has rounded up some of the best activities.
What is football golf? This relatively new leisure activity has quickly caught on. Particularly noteworthy is the largest football golf course in Germany, “KickGolf – Football Golf in Soltau”, which covers an impressive area of over 80,000 square meters. The rules of the game are very simple and are reminiscent of golf: the aim is to master the holes with as few shots as possible. In addition to Soltau, there are also places in Salzhemmendorf, Oldenburg, Walsrode and Lünne that offer something for every taste.
Diverse amusement parks for the whole family
Lower Saxony is also home to numerous amusement parks that are perfect for a family trip. The best 13 parks are:
- Autostadt Wolfsburg

- Jaderpark
- LandErlebnis Janßen

Heide Park in Soltau is the second largest amusement park in Germany and offers roller coasters and water rides for adrenaline seekers as well as a Peppa Pig world for the little ones. The season runs from April 5th to November 2nd, 2025, with prices starting at 37 euros for visitors aged 3 and over. But the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, the largest safari park in Europe, is also an exciting destination, ideal for animal lovers.
Active in nature
There are impressive options for those looking for adventure in nature. The Höhenwegarena climbing park in Schneverdingen allows climbing at heights of up to 20 meters on five different levels - a popular destination for school classes and companies. Nature lovers can also try out packrafting in the Harz Mountains, an exciting combination of hiking and paddling on inflatable boats.
If you want to experience nature even more intensively, you can also explore over 60 adventure stations on 14 hectares in the Lüneburger Heide barefoot park in Egestorf or try out a barefoot path in Bad Laer. Various barefoot parks and paths are the perfect places to go for families and those seeking relaxation who love to escape everyday life and explore new paths.
Last but not least, Lower Saxony butterfly parks offer an ideal excursion option in bad weather. In particular, the tropical park in Buchholz with its free-flying butterflies and the butterfly farm in Steinhude are attractions for young and old.
