Playmobil Fun Park

Kyle's birthday occurred while we were on vacation, specifically while we were staying with friends in Nuremberg, Germany. It was no accident that we were able to spend Kyle's birthday with our friends, Darryn and Martina and their son Rhys, at Playmobil Fun Park. Kyle had no idea what we were doing for his birthday. All the poor boy knew is that we didn't have any presents for him and he had to wait another ten days for his party. We told him as we followed our friends to the park that we thought they were taking us somewhere fun, maybe to a big playground. You can imagine Kyle's shock when he realized that we were at Playmobil Fun Park. He was thrilled to show his passport to the ticket lady - little did any of us know that he would receive a gift - a workman no less!

Playmobil Fun Park is a great place! We enjoyed the farm section, the giant playground with all kinds of sand to dig in. We spent quite a bit of time in the Wild West. There are two castles - both Kyle loved! There is also the pirate ship - with barges to "sail". (Kyle says he went "oaring"). THere is also an adventure section with a tree house. And then there's the indoor section! It has the biggest indoor play area you can imagine as well as several of the playmobil favourites- castle, dollhouse, pirate ship etc all larger than life and surrounded by millions of pieces of Playmobil - all to play with at your will! And everything is done to look like Playmobil! It's truly designed with small kids in mind and it is all about them! They can fall off the barges, walk through rivers, all with no worries - there is a family drying room!

A great touch to the day was Martina remembering to bring a candle for Kyle's birthday and then putting it in an apple so we could all sing!

Without a doubt my favourite park was the Playmobil store! I think we all enjoyed this! We must have we all bought Playmobil - and Kyle got to pick out his own birthday present - a big red firetruck of course! But it's not like he'll feel deprived of any Playmobil any time soon!

The day was definitely a great success! Brian ended up taking Kyle and Rhys back the very next day!
