The team at the information desk will provide you with information about what the Kinderreich has to offer and also has tips on guided tours and exhibitions that are exciting and suitable for a visit with children.

If you would like to visit the Kinderreich with more than ten people, please contact the Kinderreich team by telephone or e-mail to book your visit. Unfortunately, we cannot accept group bookings during the Bavarian school holidays.

The children's area is located directly below the Aviation and Aeronautics Hall. After the main entrance, walk through the auditorium and past the kiosk, then turn right into the Aviation and Aeronautics Hall. Ahead of you to the left is a staircase that leads directly down to the Kids' Kingdom. There is also a nearby lift – if you speak to a member of the Kids' Kingdom team, they’ll be happy to activate it for you.

Visitors with reduced mobility are currently unable to access the Kids' Kingdom on Level -1 independently. Please contact our staff in the Kids' Kingdom by telephone to arrange access: 089/2179-411.

In the Modern Aviation exhibition, level 0, there is enough space at the back under the stairs to park strollers. From there, it's down the stairs to the children's area.

For safety reasons, it is not permitted to take bulky strollers, bicycle trailers and handcarts into the museum. They can be parked in front of the entrance building.

The Kids' Kingdom is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Last admission is at 4.15 p.m. The Kids' Kingdom is also closed on the eight days on which the Deutsches Museum is closed.

There is a treasure map for children with visual impairments to find and explore all the tactile models. There is also a tactile book to read aloud. Ask at the information desk.

The children's area is designed for children aged 3 to 8.

If you would like to visit the Kinderreich with more than ten people, please notify Team Kinderreich by telephone. Group bookings are not accepted during the Bavarian holidays.

The interactive stations and programmes in the children's area have been specially developed for children aged three to eight. These programmes are not suitable for younger or older children.

No, because your child could injure themselves. The structural safety standards are not designed for this age group. In addition, the didactics of the interactive stations and programmes are geared towards older children.

No, parents or accompanying adults remain responsible for the children during the visit.

Take your time. At the entrance to the Kinderreich you will find a tactile overview map with all the interactive stations. You can suggest a sequence for the tour to your child. Read the text panels at the stations and experiment with your child. This way you can work your way from station to station. Please do not run!

There are lockers for families and groups in the Kinderreich. Although rucksacks and bags may be taken into the Kinderreich exhibition, they are not permitted in any other exhibitions.

You can eat your own snacks in the picnic area of the Kinderreich near the entrance. Eating and drinking is not permitted in all other exhibitions.
