So I will say right now that I I would love to have given more stars. My son said that this was his favorite thing from the entire summer vacation. My wife and I enjoyed it too, but on a more critical level. We were there on the last Sunday in vacation. I'm sure that all the employees were tired and happy that it was almost over but still, it was technically a vacation day and we paid the same price to enter as everyone else. Many stands and rides were closed, unmanned, or simply badly run. 4 and 5 year olds aren't known to be so patient.... And I really wanted to eat something meaty but there were really only sweets for sale unless you walked the entire park to get something.... And even then it was a teenager with a blank look on their face and noone else there... So everyone was just waiting. And long. This place needs to speak with their personnel because I bet that there are staffing and scheduling grievances. Anyway..... No attendants at many MANY rides mean that we're all supposed to conduct ourselves like normal considerate adults. I can tell you now hat most people are like animals. Inconsiderate is not a word I apply to animals but people should know better. Blocking and reserving places in rides and eating establishments is just the beginning. Really I know that my son had fun but the lack of organization, the long waits and frustration, the options for food being closed all day, and the general dog-eat-dog feeling from the day just colered my experience at Taunus Wunderland. Go for your kids when nothing else appeals.... But don't expect an easy or pleasant day. Again I say... The park is okay, even good. But the lack of management and personnel...

This is my 1st time to Tanus Wunderland Germany.i went with my two kids aged 5 and 11 and my wife. All four of us traveled from Frankfurt to wisebaden Hbf the took another bus I think it was 273 bus around 11 am we reached to the park. Well now if you are a typical local or an expat who have your own transportation then you don't need to read this bad experience we had with tanus wonder land. If not please forward this message to Tanus Wunderland management so that this kind of bad experience will not happen to any one else. We finished most of the rides around 5.30pm. Then me my kids and wife went to the same bus stop hopeing that the bus 273 or 275 will come so that we can head back to wisebaden Hbf and the back home to Frankfurt. Wwe waited almost 2 hours there was no bus came 273. Never it came. The park should have some kind of shuttle service at least to the Hbf nearby. But no ... Our 1st impression with tanus wonderland is so wonderful 👍 what a a bad bad experience. I have seen other big parks they arrange shuttle service and it's available untill the park closed.come on wisebaden is the Hessen Capital right? Still no good service to tourists. Tanus Wunderland management you should really address this transport issue from your park other wise people will just end up putting bad reviews it will effect your sales. I hope tanus Wunderland management see...
