The Blankenfelde Manor is open for visits. Its park is shaped in the English classicism style. The most outstanding tree in the park is an ash tree, which is more than 370 years old and has more than 4 meters in circumference. Since June 2014, a bell collection is put on display in the renovated premises of the stable/cart-house of the Blankenfelde Manor. There are approximately 1000 bells of various origin, history, age, form and material in the private collection of Valdis Jākobsons. The Blankenfelde Manor offers 100% natural juices, tasty and healthy syrups from elderberry and other berries, as well as preserves made according to beloved recipes from the vegetables.

Large open air garden, divided in areas - lilac garden, long rows of cherry, apple and pear, and it claims here they grow most northern apricots! At the entrance you can buy also local tasty gifts (I saw lilac ice cream, juices), lady was very smiling and inviting. Though we came during cold time and season just started, so we enjoyed only blooming apples and cherries. You can walk around (not everywhere are paved roads, some areas reachable via grass and ground), so it will be better to wear appropriate snickers or shoes. There is a small stage and they state there are classical music concerts during lilac season, so check it in advance on their pages. We also used Google maps to navigate here, and it brought us wrong direction - we came up in private living area. The right address is here in Tripadvisor - Graudu 1. We plan to come again few weeks later and invited our friends to pay attention to this place! In advance you may see Old Square with an interesting water fountain, Livonian ruins on the hill and downstairs a small city park along the pound.

We really enjoyed it! It costs 12 eur for 10 rides (or 1,5 eur if you buy a single ticket). We went for 20 rides and our little daughther was estatic! They also have helmets you can borrow free of charge! They also have buggy track, which we didn't visit since our daughter is only 3 years old and we decided she would be too small for that. But it's an option. They also have a cafe, which a lot of people seemed to enjoy and you can but an ice cream or just water there as well. Only down side is the road - it's bad and super narrow to get there, so drive carefully!

Great place for family with children! This time we only took the small part with the enchanted fairy tale forest with the tiny dwarf homes and the lookout tower. But we have been here several times. There are however, little to none information in english. We got a small map at the cash desk and no actual information about the park. The PR and information lever of the park could be better. Home page was also lacking some general information. Fx we would have liked to view a map before we arrived, so we could plan our trip. However, the park was good, cheap and we can highly recommend to rent one of those carts where you can have bags (and/or) kids. It costs 3,50 for the first hour and then 1,50 euros for each next hour. It was money well spent and the cart was easy to drag. There is also a small train that you can use to travel from one spot to another. We ended up not using it, despite we had one elderly person with us that normally would be having hard time walking these distances. But from one of the employees at the park we got information that from the spots where the train stops it's possible to call the train so that it would come and pick your group up. The level of information both at the premises and home page needs to improve. Park itself is fine and great fun for kids!
