On a Rainy Day

Indoor Playgrounds in Hamburg

Climbing, jumping, sliding, crawling, falling, swinging and simply letting off steam – children can do all of this and more at one of Hamburg’s indoor playgrounds. Here children will find playthings such as building blocks, stilts, balls and large play areas such as bouncy castles, go-cart tracks, climbing walls, giant slides, trampolines and much more.

Fun is guaranteed, for parents too, who are welcome to play and laugh along. In addition, you will find a number of adult facilities for fitness and relaxation. Of course, every indoor playground also has its own café where you can enjoy delicious refreshments so that you can refuel for another play session. For the littlest visitors there are colourful play areas for them to crawl around and improve their motor skills.

On the Sky Trail at Rabatzz children can climb up to dizzying heights and free fall onto safety mats. At Spielscheune der Geschichten (Story Play Barn), the team tells exciting adventure stories and plays games with the children. At Indoo Park, the tall Dragon of Avangar waits for new playmates.

Wax Works

Wax works are wonderful for the whole family. Parents will wallow in memories of times gone when they encounter the Beatles and children delight in meeting heroes such as Harry Potter. At Hamburg’s Panoptikum, over 120 famous personalities from history, politics and pop culture await visitors.

Parents and children, young and old can get up close and personal with their role models, without bodyguards or crowds. In Germany’s oldest wax works, children can shake hands with Angela Merkel or go on stage with Robbie Williams.

The tour through the exhibition rooms is also a great way to view the wax works. A free flyer at the entrance provides information about this offer. Another way to explore the cabinet is the Panoptikum tour for kids with the pirate mouse Pauli, where children will find out about how wax figures are made. The Panoptikum is open daily.

Every child loves to splash around in the water. But even better than a simple swimming pool are colourful play areas and imaginative water games. You will find this and much more in Hamburg’S swimming pools, with more than 20 pools, spread all over Hamburg.

Miniature Wonderland

Kids will feel like giants at Hamburg’s Miniature Wonderland. The world’s largest model railway will take you on a journey around the world. Miniature Wonderland in the Speicherstadt is continuously expanding and is already spread over an area of 1,300 metres squared. There are miniature versions of Scandinavia, America and Central Germany, as well as Austria and Switzerland. A total of eight different sections display the most beautiful sightseeing attractions and impressive technology that powers steam trains and booming aeroplane turbines.

Miniature Wonderland is set to expand by 25% by the year 2020, with additional exhibits. Work on the new sections and maintenance of current exhibits does not take place behind a cordon. Parents and children are welcome to look over the shoulder of the model makers and engineers and ask questions. Permanent construction also has the advantage that there is always something new to discover and that further visits are never boring.

If your child is into action, speed and movement, nothing beats the i-Punkt Skateland. A 1,500m2, indoor skate park awaits skate enthusiasts both young and old.
