The 5 top highlights in the Ruhr area with children
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Gasometer Oberhausen. We saw the exhibition 'Wonders of Nature'. We saw unique pictures and film clips of different animal and plant species. The highlight was a projection of satellite images of the Earth onto a 20-meter-wide globe

Highlights: The kids loved the Earth projection at 100 meters high. It felt like being an astronaut in space ✨
