• Music Explorer Passport is a free booklet from the ushers or the box office; kids collect a sticker at each family concert and trade two, four or six gold stickers for prizes
• Family tickets cover two adults (parents, grandparents or carers) and their own kids, and are sold only at the box office, not online
• Footbridge to the island over the Motława opens to walkers only in half-hour windows from April through October, so time your walk or allow for a wait

The orchestra's home is a converted red-brick power station from the 1890s on Ołowianka island in the Motława river, with neo-Gothic turrets and two towers.

For kids, the draw is the education program: Sunday family concerts, educational concerts on music history and instruments that anyone can join, and workshops where fairy tales are told through music and dance, followed by an art activity.
