Relaxing Short Vacation with Children in the Heart of Germany
Your well-deserved break awaits you.
A few days away, gathering new impressions, and relaxing together – a short vacation with children can be so easy! While your little ones set off on their own adventures, you can sit back and enjoy the moment. At Sonnenpark, everything is prepared for you: all-inclusive offers, exciting experiences, and a relaxing wellness atmosphere. No long planning, no compromises – just arrive and enjoy.
Short Family Getaway: Why Choose a Family Hotel?
A short vacation at a family hotel is more than just a few nights with breakfast. Instead of makeshift children's beds and buffet options that don't cater to little guests, a child-friendly hotel offers an environment perfectly designed for families. Kids want to run around, explore, and embark on new adventures – while parents appreciate a well-deserved break in between.
A great children's hotel combines both: exciting experiences for the little ones, peaceful moments for the grown-ups, and plenty of opportunities to create wonderful memories together.

„We had a wonderful week at Sonnenpark
with our two children (one five months old and one three years old). The infant care for babies was especially helpful for us, and the staff there was absolutely amazing. This allowed us to, for example, enjoy a peaceful meal.
Our older child didn’t want to go to the Happy Club, but with the water park and indoor playgrounds, we never had a dull moment. The rooms were nice and quiet, and the food and drinks were varied and delicious.
We will definitely be back!"**
