Adjacent to the Grugapark is the Grugahalle concert hall and the Messe Essen exhibition centre.

It combines a botanical garden with rare and stunning plants, a vibrant animal park, a hub for games and sports, a relaxing health facility and spa, and expansive meadows perfect for picnics, barbecues, and leisure.

With stylish restaurants, an open-air museum, and a concert arena, it's also a gastronomic and cultural hotspot.

Located in Essen at the heart of the Ruhr region, this sprawling 700,000-square-meter park invites visitors year-round to connect with nature, enjoy events, or simply unwind.
