When you have children, the first concerns before traveling are: “Will our children like it?”, “Will we find legal activities for them?”. Therefore, we have selected some activities for children in Germany. Surely not only your child will like it!
Germany alone pleases children, with castles, tasty food, and spectacular scenery, but there are some activities and places that delight children! It is a characteristic in most of the attractions in Germany, a concern in the inclusion of children so that they understand, are interested, and often interact with the proposal of the activity or attraction in question, the educational character is highly valued and stimulated. Therefore, it is very common that there is a program, tour, or area for children.
Miniatur Wunderland
If your child wants to feel great, or rather a giant, this place is perfect! In miniature form, the models represent various places in the world, among them Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and of course Germany. But since we are talking about different places in the world, how do travelers get to them? By airplane! At the miniature airport there are fixed flight times, as in a real airport, so you don’t miss the arrival and departure of the aircraft.
In the Miniatur Wunderland, the largest railway model in the world is located, it passes through the entire exhibition taking its small passengers. In addition to all this, all areas have interaction with the visitor, so just click on a button and the thumbnails move, noises sound of the buildings open, allowing the visitor to see them from the inside. And as in real life, the sun periodically rises and sets.
Christmas Market
The Christmas markets are a separate attraction. Charming, every year at Christmas time, the squares of almost all German cities are filled with lights, tents, ornaments, and love! Skating rinks, Ferris wheels, lots of hot chocolate, typical foods, and drinks. This is a little bit of what’s in the incredible “weihnachtsmaerkte”. This immersion in the Christmas atmosphere, so pulsating and in a different culture, will bring magical and enriching memories for children.
Each year cities make their own Christmas themed mugs, a great souvenir to keep from your trip and souvenirs for loved ones!
Castles and Palaces
There is nothing better to spark children’s imaginations than a stroll in castles and palaces! For example, Neuschwanstein Palace, a place of supposed inspiration for Disney’s Cinderella Palace, visiting it is like being in a fairy tale.
Another great example is the Schwerin Palace, which delights everyone with its splendor, its beautiful garden, and the surrounding lake, which make the place even more magical. It is also worthwhile for the little ones, a visit to the Hohenzollern Castle, in addition to all its beauty and sensational view, in the visit to the castle it is possible to see treasures like the imperial crown of William II and an extremely well-preserved dress by Queen Louise, stimulating children’s imagination and curiosity about clothes, customs, architecture and the way of life of ancient generations.
