Leisure in Gelsenkirchen

Friends of a wide range of musical genres are brought together in this city, with the new Philharmonie Westfalen at the MiR and the annual Rock Hard Festival at Nordsternpark providing a welcome change of pace in everyday musical life.

A special destination for young and old is the former Ruhr Zoo, which today presents itself as a world of adventure.

There you have the opportunity to not only see but also experience the great animal world! Families with children are well advised with a tour through the Nordsternpark. The park convinces especially the little ones with its fantastic water playground and offers plenty of space to romp and frolic.

The amphitheater of the park attracts with a daily changing offer of events and the Deutschlandexpress in the park is the world’s third largest toy train with associated landscape. The Science Park is also absolutely worth a visit and should not be missed when visiting the city.

Art and culture also have a firm foothold in Gelsenkirchen and so the motorcycle museum, the small museum or the art museum are excellent for a cultural and varied afternoon.
