 D lights candles at the Dom,
and my life by richiecdisc
D as always made a great travel mate in Cologne. She cut her cathedral visit short to help me hunt the Kölsch she just knew I had to have. A wife, well one like D, comes in handy like that. ;) Leave a Comment

Bring a small backpack with enough space for snacks and drinks.
Comfortable tennis shoes. I wore flip flops to the park and my feet were sore at the end of the day.
If you dont want to get wet on the water rides, bring a light raincoat. I saw a lot of people at the park on water rides with raincoats to protects themselves and their bags because you have to bring your items with you on the rides.
Spare socks. Keep your feet dry, even if your shoes are a bit wet or bring flips flops to wear on water rides then change back into tennis shoes to walk the park.
If you get motion sickness there is a over the counter medicine called Dramamine. You can take it 30-60 minutes before going on any rides and it works great. I also use it before I take long plane rides.
Small facecloth... just something extra, you never know what you might need it for. (maybe its a hot day and your feeling light headed, you could rise the facecloth under cool water and place the facecloth on your forehead)...etc.
Sunglasses.
Food at the park is expensive so try packing some sandwiches and drinks. I dont think they check bags at the parks (mine was not inspected) because I saw a lot of tourists taking food out of their bags and making little picnics here and there.
At the park you can buy a book/map which talks about the rides and phantasialand in general which costs about 3 Euro but it is a waste of money and space. You can get a map of the park for free and its just as good as the one in the book and handy enough to fold up and put in a pocket.
There is one ride called Winja's Force and I think it is one of the only rides (besides the black mambo...but you can leave your items off to the side) in which you cant take your bag on with you. They have lockers to rent near Winja's Force but they are usually all taken and it is hard to get a locker. It is about 3 Euro for a locker so it is not worth is just for one ride.

If you do not speak any German, try to to pack a little German language book. Many of the locals I came across, were impressed that I was actually trying to speak German. Leave a Comment

bring lots of Kleenex so when you cry on the bridge you don't have to wipe it with articles of clothing. Just be sure not to litter!
cameras must have a flash for those typical dark dreary summer days Leave a Comment

Beware that Cologne is subject to the climate of northern western Europe. It has definetly the four seasons, and it can rain a lot.
You can buy everything you need there.
