Summer holidays in Central Saxony: The best experiences for children!
The summer holidays are just around the corner and the children's anticipation is palpable! To banish boredom, there are numerous great leisure activities in the Freiberg, Flöha and Mittweida region.

The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and entry is free, making it particularly attractive for families. On June 27th there will even be a special offer for students who show their certificates. Great discounts come with the Adventure Pass!
Oskarhausen adventure park
Oskarhausen has established itself as a popular destination for families. According to the numerous reviews on the Oskarshausen website, the park is described as very beautiful and brings great joy to the children. However, there are also some points of criticism: Visitors are not allowed to bring their own food and drinks, which can quickly drive up costs. It has been reported that the food, especially in the evening, is not always fresh and tasty and the prices are perceived to be high. Nevertheless, the park is certainly appreciated for its variety of attractions and the opportunity to paint cups.
For a relaxed journey, it is worth visiting on a weekday outside of the holidays to avoid long waiting times. The limited parking situation should also be taken into account, but there are alternative parking options nearby.
Other excursion destinations in Saxony
If Oskarhausen isn't enough, there are many other exciting destinations for a family trip in Saxony. The Familienreisefieber page lists the top 5 excursion destinations, including the Belantis amusement park, the Leipzig Zoo, and the Saxon Switzerland National Park. Belantis, for example, offers eight themed worlds and over 60 attractions - perfect for a day full of adventure and fun.
The Aqua Marien leisure pool in Marienberg and the alpaca walk in Sohland an der Spree are also recommended destinations that offer educational and entertaining experiences for the whole family. Numerous other options, such as the fire brigade museum in Zeithain or the Freiberg zoo with free entry, round off the diverse offering.
However you want to spend your time during your summer holidays - there are a wealth of options in the region, so you definitely won't get bored. With the tips from the “Freie Presse” and the experiences from Oskarhausen, the holidays can become an unforgettable experience for everyone!
