Christmas mood and children’s program!
The traditional Christmas market at the Chinese Tower is one of the most beautiful Christmas points of contact as soon as it opens its doors and immediately captivates every visitor of the Christmas magic. The Munich Christkind Markt is particularly romantic because of its location directly in the park, surrounded by trees, winding market stalls and the Christmas brass music, which is played live in a chapel on the Chinese Tower.
At the market stalls you will find gift ideas, Christmas decoration and a lot of handmade things such as play puppets made of natural materials. The physical well-being is not neglected either. In addition to warming mulled wine/children’s punch, there are also many delicious dishes at the fragrant stalls. Especially the Schupfnudeln and ox rolls are highly recommended.
The great program for children seems endless. Children can experience the exciting Christmas season here in a traditional and contemplative way. For example, in Grandpa’s Schreinerstadl, little craftsmen are allowed to assemble wooden toys themselves or, in grandma’s cozy Geschichtenstadl, come to rest while listening to exciting Christmas stories. You will find more detailed information about this below. For the slightly older children, the icing rink is suitable, on which children are allowed to let the icing stick quickly over the track. A carousel is also available for the children as well as numerous visits from Santa Claus and the Christ Child.
We can recommend that you visit the Christmas market on weekdays or on weekends while it is still bright. Otherwise it is very fast, very full.
Tip: The playground, which you reach via the exit at Grandpas Schreinerstadl, is always good for a little change.
Grandpas Schreinerstadl (open from Tuesday – Sunday)
From a distance you can hear the hammering that penetrates from Grandpa’s Schreinerstadl. Inside, children are allowed to assemble wooden toys themselves for a fee of 6 euros. Locomotives, tractors, doll’s wagons and much more are available and make children’s eyes shine. The little craftsmen are accompanied by the craft grandpa, who explains at the beginning how the tools are used and the wooden parts are put together. Even during the crafting, the children are allowed to contact him with questions. Parents can either go into the action or wait for so long on the bench in the Stadl. If you have a muse, you can still paint toys built at home nicely. By the way, the wooden parts are manufactured by the Munich Pfennig Parade, a facility for people with physical disabilities.
Grandma’s story stable (open from Tuesday – Sunday)
In the cozy story stable, the children can listen to the exciting stories of the reading grandma and make themselves comfortable on wooden sleds with lambskins. The stories that are read aloud are Christmas fairy tales and stories. There is a new lecture every 30 minutes. Be sure to be in front of the hut in time and also take a quick look at the program, which story is best for your child. The reading lessons are free of charge.
