Germany-Munich-Oktoberfest; The Fun Fair at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany

The Fun Fair at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany

The carnival Fun Fair has been part of Oktoberfest since the late 19th century. Thrill rides include a roller coaster, log flume, and 164-foot-tall Ferris wheel/riesenrad. A flea circus, street performers and bands, and a Budenstrassa/Avenue of Booths--with food stalls, souvenir stands, and games of chance--round out the fun.
