The large meadows are suitable for all kinds of ball games. Please bring your own sports equipment and be considerate of other visitors. Ball games are not permitted in the vicinity of the reconstructions and on the paths.
Do I need special footwear or clothes?
As an open-air museum, large parts of the APX are exposed to the weather. It is therefore recommended to wear appropriate clothes.

Outdoors, smoking is permitted. In the LVR-RömerMuseum, the buildings and historical reconstructions, smoking is prohibited.
Do I have to pay for the car park?
During the opening hours of the APX and the LVR-RömerMuseum, parking is free of charge (partly with park disc).
Is it possible to bathe in the baths of the APX?
Unfortunately, today's safety and health regulations prohibit bathing in the baths of the APX.
Are there signs or tours in other languages than German?
All text signs in the park and the museum have recently been completed with texts in English and Dutch. The APX also offers guided tours and hands-on courses in English, Dutch, French, Hungarian and Arabic. Hearing impaired visitors can ask to be accompanied by a sign language interpreter. Please inform us about any special requests prior to your visit.
What can I do when it starts to rain?
The Roman reconstructions provide shelter from the rain. Other interesting retreats – not only on a rainy day - are the house of Roman Games, the restaurant, the Hostel, the pavilion and last but not least the LVR-RömerMuseum.
