Grottenbahn — Attraction in Linz

This is quite an interesting local attraction for kids. You definitely need to drive here, as its located on top of a rather high hill. Fortunately they do have credit card facilities.

The minuter city afterwards was not very interesting as most of the buildings were filled with advertisements. Small setups were made with fairy tales but again no animation, only lights went on/off and German recording. I wouldn't...
