Wolfsburg, 3. July 2020 – Why travel far away when relaxation is so close? Featuring the "Summer in the Park" motto, the Autostadt in Wolfsburg is offering an exciting programme from 16 July to 27 September 2020: Reach for new heights on both of our new climbing facilities. Jump as high as you can on the huge trampoline in front of the CustomerCenter. You can also give the e-skates, Ninebots, Onewheels a go at the micro mobility course. Are you ready to relax? Enjoy a picnic in the park, visit our beach area, or check out our "Cool Summer Island" – the floating island in the dock. Street music acts deliver musical surprises in the park and lagoon landscape from Friday to Sunday.

Roland Clement, Chief Executive Officer of Autostadt: "Whether they come from the area for a few hours or from afar for an entire weekend, we invite people to spend their most beautiful time of the year with us in Autostadt. Our numerous offerings have something for everyone – whether you want to be active or to relax, for fans of urban culture as well as for everyone looking for a break by the water. Our many open spaces and expansive park help to observe the distancing regulations."

Open-air action at the park: Climbing, giant air trampoline, and micro mobility course
The huge climbing facilities at the Hafenterrasse are new this year. While beginners can train their balance and bodily senses on the smaller wooden structure, the pros are invited to prove their skills in the climbing net – adrenaline rush included. The giant air trampoline in front of the CustomerCenter also offers some action – kids up to 12 years of age can use it to jump in the air. You'll blaze through the large micro mobility course on the piazza's forecourt. Here you can experience micro mobility with e-skates, Ninebots, and Onewheels – with one very special highlight, since part of the obstacle course's path goes over the water.

That holiday feeling: Boats, picnic and relaxing in the beach area
An open-air picnic with the entire family? You can do just that this summer, for the team at Autostadt Restaurants has various picnic baskets waiting for you. You can place your order at restaurants@autostadt.de or via telephone at 0800 6 11 66 00. Guests can also look forward to the Volkswagen currywurst, and to additional hearty and sweet surprises. Anyone looking to relax should make themselves comfortable in the large beach area and on "Cool Summer Island", where comfortable seat cushions, a fine sandy beach and delicious cocktails offer the perfect summer vibe. And anybody who fancies to do so can hire an electric boat or the popular swan pedal boats and discover the dock from the water.

Street music on the weekend
Furthermore, guests who visit the Autostadt on the weekend can look forward to street music in the park: Throughout the day, young artists provide musical variety in the park, ranging from electric pop to gypsy jazz and even brass funk rap from Friday to Sunday.

Workshops during the summer holidays
Every Friday to Sunday, workshops on technology, media, design, and mobility invite children 6 years and older along with adolescents and adults to try things out and be creative. Some of the workshops are taking place outdoors in the park. Exciting hands-on activities await visitors at the workstations in MobiVersum. Driving enthusiasts up to the age of 12 can put their skills to the test during summer joy rides in the driving attraction "Ausfahrt" and through the kid´s obstacle course in the lagoon landscape. You can obtain information about the entire offering by visiting www.autostadt.de/education-at-the-autostadt, by calling 0800 288 678 238 or by e-mail at bildung@autostadt.de.
