An antique merry-go-round is one of the highlights at Eliszis Jahrmarktstheater, where you also can watch theatrical performances inside a tent. The puppet and clown shows cost about 6 euros for children. (John Vandiver/Stars and Stripes)
Eliszis Jahrmarktstheater in Stuttgart’s Killesberg Park is a small fair with food and amusements in an atmospheric setting. (John Vandiver/Stars and Stripes)
The food is typical of the fair scene, with homemade potato chips, waffles and flammkuchen, an Alsatian version of pizza, on the menu. And there are plenty of adult averages to choose from.

But visitors should be sure to let Eliszis take center stage in their enjoyment of the park while they have the chance. Although fun is always in season, the park’s theatrical entertainment isn’t.
