Louisenpark

Our friends and neighbors suggested a trip to Louisenpark in Manheim - a large urban park with an entrance fee and a few attractions. Since the weather was supposed to be really nice with summerlike 27 C we said of course "Yes, we would love to join".
Right at the entrance there some colorful flower displays

Mia was more interested in a little snail she found on the ground

We checked out the butterfly exhibit next

There was an indoor playground next door

In another area one can see some birds

We decided to do the gondola ride

The carps were expecting some food

At the end of the gondola ride was a great playground with a water section

 Break in the shade

Rhododendron bushes in bloom

An apple tree was perfect for climbing

Around the corner the Chinese tea house

It looked just like the ones in China

Next stop another play area before the tram ride back to Heidelberg
