Visiting Munich with Children: The Top Things to Do




 
 

3. Meet the Monkeys at Hellabrunn Zoo

Tierpark Hellabrunn is one of Europe’s finest zoos, begun more than 100 years ago, and was the first zoo in the world to show animals grouped by their place of origin. The 89 acres of land it covers gives the zoo space to replicate as closely as possible the native habitats, where its more than 1,900 animals roam in large open spaces.

 

4. Get Hands-On at the Deutsches Museum

One section, Kids’ Kingdom, is designed for children ages three through eight and is filled with hands-on activities that explore computers, light, music, ships, water, sound, astronomy, and more. Kids can «drive» a real fire truck, climb inside a giant guitar to feel the sounds when it’s strummed, discover forces of physics and energy with giant building blocks, and learn about power with pulleys, treadmills, and levers.
