Family days

There are very special highlights for children on Family Day:
On a scavenger hunt through the Christmas Garden, there are tricky questions to solve and little surprises to get hold of at the end.

Children can get creative in the atmospheric Palm House from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm making Christmas decorations - an activity organized by the Innenschau association.

Our family days take place exclusively on November 27, December 04 and December 11 take place.
