Because it's not exclusively a children's fun park. Plenty of stuff to do for adults there.
But obviously it is a good idea to restrict smoking to secluded areas, for children and everybody else around. Honestly, I was a bit confused last year, that it wasn't the case already. It pretty much is in any other theme park.
Yes. I think that is well done by Baden-Württemberg "Following an amendment to the Smoke-Free Environment Law in Baden-Württemberg". Completely reasonable for everyone.
That this even needs a regulation.
The reason why I remark on it being reasonable, is because over here in the Netherlands we have been seeing increasingly more places that just outright ban smoking on the entire premises. They specifically choose not to have designated smoking spaces.
In practice this does not work at all, because smoking is an addiction and you can't expect smokers not to smoke for hours upon end. So in practice they smoke outside anyway, and you are worse off than you would have been in a situation with designated smoking spots.

That's crazy. Why should you ban smoking from a childrens fun park?

My 3 year old just said he will pick up drinking if they continue to ban smoking everywhere.

Smoking just can't be done everywhere in the park.
It also appears that the restrictions don't apply to smokeless tobacco. I understand that snus is popular in Sweden.
EDIT:
They apparently have twenty themed areas, for perspective.

Frankly that seems to me like a pretty reasonable regulation. It's not nearly as extreme as the post's title would suggest.
