Grugapark Essen

Grugapark Essen originated from the Great Ruhr Horticultural Exhibition of 1929 and, with its 600,000 sqm, is certainly one of the largest and most attractive leisure parks in Europe. A botanical garden with beautiful and rare plants, an appealing zoo, a playground and sports paradise, a wellness and spa resort, a recreational meeting place with huge lawns, playgrounds, and barbecue areas, a culinary destination with stylish restaurants, an open-air museum, and a concert arena – all this is Grugapark. Whether you want to experience nature, attend events, or just take a break from everyday life: the expansive park, centrally located in Essen and the Ruhr area, offers the best opportunities for leisure activities for all generations and every season.
