Can a second adult come along?

One ticket covers one child and one adult. A second adult pays €4 at the ticket desk, and those extra tickets are limited.

Do I need a ticket for each child?

Yes, book one free time-slot ticket per child. A reserved ticket is only valid for the first hour of its slot, so don't turn up late.

Where do we leave the stroller?

At the BAUBAU cloakroom next to the play space in the ground-floor atrium. For a stroller, use the accessible entrance left of the main door and ring the bell.

Snacks and drinks are fine in the cloakroom area and the Playing in the City room, which has tables. Not in the play rooms. Restaurant Beba in the building has a kids' menu.

About

BAUBAU is a play space inside the Gropius Bau, designed by the artist Kerstin Brätsch, where more is allowed than forbidden. Painted walls, abstract structures and heaps of loose parts (cardboard, fabric, rope, kitchenware) become whatever kids decide. Trained playworkers keep it safe while children build, take things apart, run around or rest. There are no workshops or set tasks, so it suits kids who like open-ended play more than a guided program.
