With two children under three years of age, activities are very important. Schloss Wittringen is, therefore, perfect.
We arrived at lunch time, so headed straight for the restaurant. The staff were child-friendly and appropriate seating was provided. There was a good selection of food, including a children's menu. The prices were upper mid-ranged - it cost €65 for three of us to eat and drink soft drinks (my youngest is not yet one, so we took her food with us, which the staff were more than happy to warm up). The food was tasty. That being said, the adult portions were too small and the child portion too big. Further, the waitress produced a shared starter at the same time as the mains - not sure how that was allowed to happen!
After eating, the fun started. There are two play areas, a lake and a good quality concrete path connecting and surrounding everything. Great fun for the children and easy-going for the parents. In the summer, the grassy areas will also provide a perfect place for a picnic.
There are animals here. Lots of wild geese and other birds, which is nice. There are also caged animals - goats, a pig, geese, rabbits, gerbils and hundreds of parrots of varying shapes and sizes. Of course, the children loved this, especially the area where you can walk in amongst the goats and pet them. For me, it was very sad, especially seeing so many beautiful parrots, including very large ones, cooped-up in a cage together with no room to fly, no natural flora or fauna and no distraction other than screaming kids banging on the windows. The largest parrots were separate from the smaller ones, but each cage was smaller than a standard-sized single car garage. Quite frankly, it amounts to torture of animals.
My views on animal welfare aside, the children loved everything that was on offer and didn't want to leave. So, a good day out for a family. It's easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. Access to everything is free of charge, although you need to pay 60 cents an hour if you want to park next to the Schloss - there's a huge, free car park only 10 minutes walk from the Schloss but still within the park area

Lovely setting for restaurant. After walking around the park we had lovely lunch in the comfortable stylish restaurant. The food was good and the waiters were very attentive and helpful. Good choice of food and drinks on menu. Would definitely recommend this place and will go again when we’re in the area.

Lovely setting with the castle in the centre of a picturesque moat, very pretty. As we came for an evening meal we were too late for the birds and animals but a pleasant walk round the beautiful grounds. The dining room was charming with a nicely set table overlooking the moat and the food was delicious, a most romantic dinner for a couple of pensioners that have eaten in many places!

If you, for whatever reason, come across Gladbeck or maybe visit it on purpose, this is definitely the best place to go. It's the nicest place in the city. I grew up a few streets away and went here every day with my dogs.
