You can either stay in the main area of the tent and continue partying or join in a stroll across the Octoberfest to enjoy the atmosphere of the colourful lights in the dusk. We will show you some of the more traditional rides which are fun to either watch or ride, like the Toboggan, the Schichtl, the Teuflelsrad or the Motodrom. We will stop to join any ride you please on the way and can always stop at one of the numerous booths or the outside area of the tents for more food or dinks.
