What a brilliant 17-acre idea from the Germans: a theme park called Männerspielplatz (men’s playground).
Instead of rides and watching parades, visitors to Männerspielplatz get to play with badass construction vehicles, boys’ toys and mess around in the woods on quad bikes.
Originally a promotional gimmick, Männerspielplatz rocked so much that it is now permanent. Not so surprisingly, Männerspielplatz’s most popular customers are women who send their men there for a day of fun. Beats strip clubs!
