A museum dedicated to fairground attractions – sounds like fun, right? It is. The only catch is, it’s only open on reservation to groups of 15 or more. If you can motivate other friends, acquaintances or people off the street, it should come out only a bit more expensive than most museums. It might not be the most intimate of dates, but it’s well-worth the effort. Century-old attractions, weird inventions, a gorgeous merry-go-round you can actually ride… This is one museum you don’t feel weird laughing in, and you can touch almost everything.
