Instead of [rides and watching parades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busch-gardens), 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.
