Hey you! We are Muckel, Betty, Grandpa Alfred, Uncle Benno, Aunt Rosi and Arya – the mascots in Taunus Wunderland. We would be sooo happy to meet you! Come around and become part of the Muckel family.
In the middle of the woods, surrounded by lush green and pure nature, lives a wondrous species: Big as bears but pious as lambs. The dearest creatures you can imagine. Friendly, cheerful, funny. Always there when you need them and always ready for a new adventure: the Muckels.
It all began in the Muckelsburg. The head of the Muckel family still lives here with his Betty. When you enter the Taunus Wunderland, you will arrive directly in the village where you will meet them and immediately feel at home. Because they love visitors and welcome everyone as if they were part of the family.
But Muckel and Betty are not the only ones in the big Muckel family. In the whole Taunus Wunderland you will find more relatives of these two and each one of them will be happy to show you how they live and what they do.
I am Grandpa Alfred, Guardian of the Dino Valley.
I am Uncle Benno, the keeper of the farm.
I am Aunt Rosi, the good soul of the Candy Floss Land.
High up, steeply down, experience, marvel, get the creeps! Leave your everyday life behind at the entrance and experience an unforgettable day in our five big theme areas. Many great attractions are waiting for you!
Volcano Slide, Milanflight or Wilde Maus - it's your choice! Experience a unique day with a lot of extraordinary adventures.

For more than 50 years, fun for the whole family has been our focus. Many families come visiting us as a tradition. They have actively witnessed the changes in Taunus Wunderland from an animal and fairy-tale park to a modern leisure park.
Here you mount your first fun-fair ride together with your whole family and enjoy a breathtaking roller-coaster race, the merry-go-round or a refreshing splash in the white-water ride. These are experiences to be had with mum and dad or the grandparents and they will be the highlights of the family album! Our family park is the perfect place for generation encounters – competing in radiance with the warmth of the sun.
Taunus Wunderland is home to the Muckels – they look after everything and take care that all visitors will have as much fun as they possibly can. They are our mascots and nobody ever found out how this adorable species happened to come and live in the Taunus. In their five theme areas, the Area around Arya, Grandpa Alfred’s Dinosaur Valley, Aunt Rosie’s Candyfloss Land, Uncle Benno’s Farm and Muckel Village, there are by now more than 50 attractions for children between 3 and 14 years – and of course everyone else who just cannot get enough!
The Taunus Wunderland success is based on the surrounding landscape as well as the engagement of the owner family who have been showmen for already 5 generations plus of course the talents of our staff. We take the responsibility of being an attractive enterprise in the economic sphere of Rhein-Main with more than 150 employees very seriously.
As a family business, we are proud to offer local residents and their families professional perspectives within their reach. It is our motivation to create unforgettable experiences for the whole family – to the highest perfection.
As a local enterprise at the heart of nature, we have the duty to protect the environment and preserve it for future generations. We adhere to social and environmental laws, directives and policies and are working continuously on enhancing our share in a society that observes the principles of improving sustainability.
Naturally, we act conscientiously, ecologically and environmentally sustainable. This implies that we constantly work on reducing energy, fumes and noise emissions and on protecting the soil.
Furthermore, we hardly use individual packaging anymore and negotiate special packaging-sizes with our suppliers. We are constantly working on a concept to omit plastic. Thus, the avoidance of plastic crockery and cutlery is one of the main aspects of our sustainability concept. To comply with the obligation of issuing receipts, we have switched to using eco-friendly paper.
The owner’s family is deeply connected with the city of Wiesbaden in the vicinity of which the park is located although they are also travelling worldwide with the world’s largest mobile roller-coaster they also own. They see themselves as a medium-sized enterprise with local roots, as regional employer and responsible purchaser when it comes to placing. Our motto is “regional first” – we prefer regional suppliers in order to support local producers, to protect the environment with short transport distances and to guarantee high-class provenance.
Being a part of the local community, we want to be true to our role as responsible entrepreneur. This has various aspects such as donations, volunteer engagement, cooperation with and promotion of sports programmes for the young as well as the promotion of community relations.
Our attractions are annually inspected and approved of by TÜV (equivalent to MOT). Our staff at the individual rides is regularly being schooled because the safety of our visitors has top priority.
Through regular unannounced inspections either by the park management or by certified companies we assure that all rules and regulations are being adhered to in our gastronomic areas. We therefor cooperate with the responsible departments of local and regional government as well as calling in voluntary food control.
