Summer in the city has no reason to be dull. An outdoor pool or an ice cream is always tempting, but if you fancy something memorable, try a spontaneous adventure at Alma Park. In the heart of Gelsenkirchen, more than 15,000 m² of experiences await. Come with friends, bring a date or drop in on your own: there is something for everyone. Best of all, you do not need months of planning. Just come along and start exploring.
1. Laser tag: instant action
Fancy some action but find paintball a little too intense? Gather your friends and explore the dark corridors of Alma Park's laser tag arena. High-tech vests, glowing colours and atmospheric sound make it feel like stepping into a science-fiction film. It is an energetic indoor alternative for a hot summer's day.
Tip: the spacious arena offers room for spontaneous games. Drop in or make a quick online booking.
2. Proper football on artificial turf
The indoor football pitches offer a sporting alternative to a dusty outdoor pitch in summer. With a well-maintained surface and no weather worries, you can focus on the game. Whether you fancy three-a-side or a full tournament, gather your friends and get playing. Drop in for a spontaneous match and bring your indoor trainers.
Top tip: already have a team? Arrange a small after-work tournament, followed by a beer in the bistro.
3. Escape rooms: puzzles out of the sun
Looking for excitement away from the summer sun? Step into another world in Alma Park's escape rooms. You are locked in as part of the story, with 60 minutes to puzzle your way out. The rooms are carefully designed, with creative clues to put your thinking skills to the test. They are a great choice for a hot summer's day or a warm evening when you want to do something different.
Tip: a great choice for a spontaneous date or a visit with your best friend. It is all about teamwork!
4. Trampolining: jump into summer
Shake off the everyday routine and get ready to take flight. In Alma Park's trampoline park, you can do just that. Whether you simply want to bounce or try the course features, there is plenty of room to let off steam. Rediscovering the joy of jumping around like a child is hard to beat.
Even better: the park is spacious, air-conditioned and ideal for a spontaneous visit with friends or children, or for an active break after work.
5. Virtual reality: a different kind of summer adventure
Had enough of the heat? Enter a completely different world in Alma Park's VR arena. Hunt zombies, fly through distant galaxies or solve intricate 3D puzzles without breaking a sweat. High-tech headsets and realistic graphics make it an immersive experience.
