Sitterdorf Adventure Airfield in Thurgau combines a working airfield with a leisure and animal park for the whole family. Scenic flights depart from here for Säntis, over Lake Constance to the Rhine Falls, or into the Alps as far as the Matterhorn. There are also nostalgic flights in the historic Piper L4 and introductory flights where you can take the controls yourself. On the ground, children can enjoy a miniature railway, Ferris wheel and carousels, while the animal park is home to parrots, peacocks and fallow deer. Admission to the leisure and animal park is free, and it is open 365 days a year.
Sitterdorf airfield lies between Lake Constance and the Alpstein. For a sightseeing flight, you can book the aircraft exclusively for yourself and up to two companions, then fly with one of the airfield’s pilots on a date of your choice.
Surrounding the airfield is an amusement park with around twenty attractions. One of the most popular is the «Erläbniszügli», a miniature train that circles the entire park. There’s also a Ferris wheel, chair-o-plane and horse carousel, electric go-karts, a cableway over the pond, a climbing tree and a tree maze. Some attractions are free; others cost one or two tokens, which you can buy at the token kiosk with cash, a debit card or TWINT.
The animal park is home to parrots, peacocks, chickens and ducks, goats, roe deer and fallow deer. A nature trail runs around the enclosures. The amusement park and animal park are also available for children’s birthday parties and family celebrations. Advance booking with the airfield is required.
The site has a dedicated 264-metre race track for radio-controlled model cars, complete with a drivers' stand. It's open to beginners and experienced racers, and suitable for both electric and fuel-powered models. Day and half-day passes are available on site.
Zafka's Air Kitchen restaurant is located right on the airfield. Contact the restaurant directly to make a reservation.
Flugschule Sitterdorf trains private pilots (PPL; minimum age 17 at the practical exam). Tandem skydives are offered by its partner Skydive Ostschweiz, while helicopter flights are offered by Heli Academy. Book these activities directly with the respective providers.
