Our picks of events, camps, and places in Bratislava.
Outdoors
Bring a lantern (or grab a spare on site) and walk with your neighbors through Biskupice to a park, where a fire show closes the night.
A neighborhood lantern walk in Dlhé Diely, run by the local family center RC Dlháčik. Bring a lantern and wrap up warm for an evening outside.
Performance
A half-hour Slovak show for toddlers about big sister Kika and the little sister who runs away from home, with a play room to stay in afterward.
Bring a lantern for each child and join Lamač's neighborhood procession, which ends with a snack for the kids and a fire show.
Bratislava's puppet theater stages a mix of puppets and music for the youngest kids, built around one idea: what happens when you dream.
A traditional St. Martin's lantern walk from Rudnayovo námestie, with kids carrying their lanterns along with the crowd.
Guided Visit
A kids' walk across central Bratislava's squares to learn how small acts of courage in 1989 became a revolution, with a forbidden broadcast to hear along the way.
Festival
Bring a lantern and walk with kids, parents and giant glowing water creatures, with a drum show and fire acrobatics to watch too.
Andersen's tale of a poor soldier who stumbles onto great riches, told with eight puppets and cheerful songs. Does he win the princess in the end?
A half-hour show where babies crawl, babble and chase feathers while four actresses play on a soft floor, and a bit of crying mid-scene is part of the plan.
Workshop
A craft session at Čunovo's eco center, where kids make things around trees and night moths. Two different themes, so there's a reason to come back.
Gingerbread baking, a dance-along snowball fight and a sledding song: the duo's first Christmas show gets toddlers on their feet, and a snowman reveals the best present.
BIBIANA turns to the Little Prince for the season: a new theater play, creative reading hours, a ballet, and a broken plane that kids help repair.
A palace estate Christmas market in Austria, with gingerbread decorating, pony rides and a writing room where kids send wishes to the Christ Child.
One of Europe's biggest Christmas markets, an hour from Bratislava, with an ice rink in front of City Hall that stays open past Christmas.
Exhibition
Tie a sailor's knot, pass through a river lock and follow the Danube floor by floor, from Roman frontier to modern Europe, to earn a little captain's title.
