“Look! They’re driving themselves!” a wide-eyed child might exclaim, watching the Minicars zip around the track. But don’t worry, these little drivers here in Mannheim’s Luisenpark might be “big kids,” but their speed is perfectly safe. This charming Minicar attraction isn’t about high-octane thrills. It’s a delightful nod to Mannheim’s legacy as the birthplace of the automobile.
