Fun for the whole family: The best carousels at the Rhine Fair 2025

The Rhine Fair in Düsseldorf has always held a special place in the hearts of visitors, and this year's event, which opened on July 11, 2025, is no exception. Not only the rides, but also the festive atmosphere attract families and friends to the banks of the Rhine in droves. [rp-online] reports that the focus is particularly on family-friendly carousels and attractions, which makes the visit equally pleasant for parents and children.

Why are family-friendly attractions so important? Many visitors are not looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, but rather want to spend a good time with their loved ones. There are numerous alternatives to the daring rides at the Rhine Fair. For example, the wild water ride “On Manitus Trails” is exciting right at the main entrance near the Oberkassel Bridge, while another water ride called “Los Rapidos” is waiting on the site. For younger visitors there is also the caterpillar ride, which is the oldest ride at the fair at 99 years old and is particularly charismatic thanks to its hilly track and the accompanying music.

News and highlights

An integral part for the fun and brave is the “Splash” ride, in which children and adults up to 80 kg can ride on the water in a ball and push each other. A special highlight is the ghost train “Trip to Hell 2.0”, which is recommended for children aged four and over. With its 31 meters length and new, exciting horror figures from the USA, it ensures spooky moments. The gondolas are also barred, which ensures the safety of passengers.

The view from the new observation tower, which celebrated its premiere last year, is also an experience. At a height of 71 meters, visitors enjoy a 360° view of the fair and the surrounding area. During a journey of seven to eight minutes, an audio guide provides informative details about the sights in the panorama. The cabins of this turret can accommodate a total of 20 passengers and are a real attraction.

Celebration mood in the festival tents

But the Rhine Fair is not just an amusement park for the little ones, the sociable atmosphere in the numerous festival tents also ensures a good mood. Each tent has its own flair and specialties:
