Military Mom's Guide to Kaiserslautern

This book provides ideas and inspiration for an hour, an afternoon or an entire day of fun. All adventures are located within 1 hour driving distance from Ramstein. Outside of the United States, Kaiserslautern has the largest American community with over 50,000 Armed Forces personnel, civilians and family members. There are multiple military installations located in the area including Ramstein Air Force Base, Kleber Kaserne, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Miesau Army Depot, Pulaski Barracks, Rhine Ordnance Barracks, Sembach, Panzer Kaserne, and the Vogelweh Housing Area. One of the best ways to get to know your new home is to go explore new areas, taste the regional foods, and experience the local culture. During these outings you can learn the secrets of the seven dwarfs during a tour of a magical cave filled with sparkling gems and treasures. You can wander along trails through ancient forests leading to hidden castles, have a close encounter with life size prehistoric beasts and dinosaurs of the past, zip down a water slide, float along a lazy river or splash in an indoor water paradise. Enjoy an afternoon bouncing in a pirate ship, swinging from a rope, crawling through a tunnel and racing up a tower in one of the many indoor playgrounds. Create traditions and memories with your kids of strawberry picking, hot chocolate at a Christmas market, decorating an Easter tree, or giving thanks for the fall harvest. There are so many opportunities to learn, grow and mostly have fun! I hope that you and your family enjoy this area as much as we have.
