School Holiday Action Pass: 11 indoor experiences, one ticket and plenty of action at Alma Park
The school books are closed and temperatures are rising, but the weather remains unpredictable. For an active alternative to a day on the sofa or at a crowded outdoor pool, head to Alma Park in Gelsenkirchen. The School Holiday Action Pass gives you eleven indoor attractions under one roof, with the freedom to combine activities, flexible session lengths and clear prices. This guide brings together the details, extras and tips to help you plan your visit.
Times and prices: three sessions to choose from

The 11 attractions available with the pass
- Adventure golf – mini golf with ramps, loops and entertaining obstacles

- ArrowTag – archery games with padded foam arrow tips

- Paintball – a taster package for an extra €9 with the Action Pass (instead of €35), with all equipment included
- Virtual reality – put on your headset, pick up the controllers and explore new worlds
- Trampoline park – tumbling lanes, wall runs and plenty of space for flips and more
Recommended age: the pass is best suited to ages 8 and over; paintball is for ages 18 and over only.
Additional costs to include in your budget
| Extra | Price | What is it for? |

Apart from these three items, there are no additional fees for the attractions covered by the pass.
Five tips for making the most of your session
- Choose your priorities
Eleven attractions in four hours is ambitious. Before you leave home, decide which three you most want to try. - Choose your session carefully
If you like an early start, choose 10:00, when waiting times tend to be shorter. Prefer a lie-in? The 14:00 session is for you. - Try another attraction instead of waiting
If there is a queue for laser tag, head to adventure golf or Pixel Games instead. Everything is close together at Alma Park, so you will lose very little time. - Plan a few breaks
Stop at the food and drinks area to refill your water bottle or get a soft drink, catch your breath and set off again. Even trampolining is less fun when you are dehydrated. - Keep score
Create a small leaderboard for your group. The bubble football or ArrowTag winners get the glory; whoever comes last organises the next round of drinks.
A sample four-hour visit starting at 10:00
- 10:00–10:20 Check in, buy or put on your trampoline socks and warm up in the trampoline park
- 10:20–11:00 Get the adrenaline going with a laser tag game
- 11:00–11:35 Slow the pace with a round of adventure golf
- 11:35–12:00 Take a break for water, a snack and perhaps an ice cream
- 12:00–12:40 Enjoy some team action with bubble football or football
- 12:40–13:20 Try something different with Pixel Games and virtual reality
- 13:20–14:00 Finish with axe throwing and Poolball before heading home
That gives you six activity stops without rushing, with a little flexibility if you find something you really love.
