AUTOSTADT California park

[andyisinwilts]

Good evening all,
We are booking a trip round Germany during September, during the trip we are stopping at the factory in Hannover for a night to take Goofy back to its birthplace, the were looking at staying at AUTOSTADT in the Cali garden for a couple of nights & do the tours etc whilst there.
Problem is their website keeps saying they are fully booked, because of the summer festival that finished last weekend! (16/08) & still hasn’t updated for further bookings. I have emailed them & they did reply, but they said the website would be up dated soon.
Anyone else had the runaround like this?
I would like to get everything booked before we go & don’t like leaving things to chance.
Cheers

It would be interesting to hear how this goes. @calibusje wrote interestingly in 2023:

The website does seem rather poor :

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles pavilion

Experience Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: powerful, robust, and functional – but also adventurous, travel-loving, and freedom-seeking.

www.autostadt.de

And it is disappointing that you can no longer see round the Hannover factory.

When I emailed them, they did ask if I wanted a tour of the cali factory in Hannover, but the camping & tour are only available during the week, not at weekends.

It sounds like a Hannover tour has been revived.

Though this would probably now be more interesting to the growing number of ‘New California’ owners here’.

That 'California Garden' didn't excist when we were there: It looks okay—pricey, but nice.
I don't know if the tours in the factory have been reintroduced.
Have fun there!
