Sonnenlandpark Lichtenau is a sprawling family-oriented amusement park located in Saxony, Germany, spanning approximately 15 hectares. It integrates a wildlife enclosure with various mechanical amusement rides, making it a hybrid of a zoo and a fairground. The park features a large Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and extensive indoor/outdoor playgrounds. A dedicated wildlife section houses fallow deer, sika deer, and mouflons in spacious habitats. The park prioritizes physical activity through installations like trampolines, pedal cars, and climbing structures. It includes a specific water-play area for warmer temperatures. Visitors can navigate the park via a miniature railway. The facility is designed primarily for families with children ranging from toddlers to early teenagers.
