Entertainment & Activities
Europa Park is probably the largest and best amusement park in Germany and is only 30 minutes away by car. Flixbus also takes you there from the Freiburg train station for around 8 Euros per person (one-way). You could spend a day at the park and still wouldn't see everything, so you have to pick and choose. A weekday is best, and if possible you should go when the German schools aren't on vacation. Waiting times at a ride can be 30 to 90 minutes, depending on whether the schools are out.
