Holiday village

One of the themed holiday homes in the holiday village

After the "Mini Mundus Bodensee" was closed, a holiday village belonging to the Spieleland was built on its old site and opened on July 1, 2016. Overnight guests can choose between 50 themed holiday homes and 15 “Why? Why? Why?” Research tents. The holiday homes take up three themed areas of the play area. The guests spend the night at Maus & Elefant, Käpt'n Blaubär or in the Ravensburger Spielewelt.

The non-fiction book series "Why? Why? Why?" Is the inspiration for the research tents. With the included researcher kit, children can playfully learn everything about forests, meadows and insects.

There are also around 40 parking spaces for caravans and mobile homes.

The holiday village restaurant offers buffets of regional and seasonal dishes in the morning and in the evening.
