Important to know

Dogs are not allowed in the park!

Assistance and therapy dogs with corresponding proof are excluded.

 

Thank you for your interest in the Park of Gardens. Firstly, please note that assistance and therapy dogs are permitted with appropriate proof.
Otherwise, the Park der Gärten is a facility where dogs are not allowed. 

We are sure that you and the majority of visitors would make sure that your dog does not soil or damage the paths and flowerbeds, but experience, including that of other garden shows, has shown that not all dog owners act so responsibly. Unfortunately, all it takes is one unleashed dog to smell one of the hares in our grounds and the floral splendour can be destroyed. Or a dog turd on one of our many playgrounds or on the large open space with sunbeds and the opportunity to have a picnic can ruin your enjoyment of the park. Dog urine would also have a clearly negative impact on the plants in the park.

We therefore ask that you, as a dog owner, leave your dog at home, in your hotel/ guesthouse/ holiday flat, in a kennel or with other dog owners when you visit the Park of Gardens.
This is not intended to discriminate against dog owners, but to benefit all users of the Park der Gärten.

 

Wheelchairs, rollators & handcarts

Wheelchairs, rollators and handcarts can be borrowed free of charge at the ticket office against a deposit. As the number is limited, it is advisable to book in good time by calling 0 44 03 - 81 95 50. 

 

Public transport on the doorstep

A bus stop for lines 350 and 370 is located directly in front of the visitor centre. The buses run every 30 minutes.

Charging station for e-cars and e-bikes

There are 4 charging points (wall boxes) available for charging in the rear area of car park P1. Free charging is available for a donation in the donation box provided.  

 

Pitch for camper vans

There is a pitch for camper vans right next to the Park of Gardens. Here you can stay on one of the 12 pitches all year round, even outside the park season. The pitches cannot be reserved. 

Every overnight guest needs a guest card for their holiday in Bad Zwischenahn. You can book the guest card from the comfort of your own home. You can do this either via the WELCMpass app or via the WELCMpass website. If you have any questions about the guest card, please contact Bad Zwischenahn Touristik on 0 44 03 - 61 91 59.
