NEW in 2008! The Movie Park Academy Workshops!

Discover the world of cinema together!

Movie Park Germany is a unique film and entertainment park in Bottrop-Kirchhellen.
Spectacular Hollywood shows, breathtaking roller-coasters and attractions based on themes from the world of cinema await you in 5 theme areas on an area of over 45 hectares.

Our Movie Park Academy Workshops on a range of different themes will be taking place every Friday and Saturday in April and September.  They present a range of different professions and communicate practical knowledge on subjects such as road safety or how film tricks work. 

Each workshop is 2 hours in length, which leaves participants with plenty of time to explore the rest of Movie Park afterwards.

The best thing is that  school classes can attend the workshops for free. They only pay the admission charge for school groups.
