Schwabing-West is the quieter, residential side of Schwabing, with plenty of young families, parks and side streets made for a slow afternoon. This list gathers what we've checked in the district: green space for running off energy, indoor spots for rainy days, and kids' shows when they're on. It updates as new plans come in, so check back before the weekend.
Two actors play with opposites: up and down, in front and behind, together and alone. They chase, hide and seem to vanish on a stage full of surprises, with fast moments and quiet ones. Director Simone Oswald, a pioneer of theater for the very youngest, developed the show with Munich nursery children.
Artist Karin Traxler opens her print lab ahead of Christmas. You and your kid design postcards with winter motifs, print them yourselves and take the finished cards home.
It suits a kid who likes making things with their hands, and a family that would rather send its own cards than buy them.
Rund is a new object theater piece built around things that roll, spin, wobble and tip over, then stand back up. Puppetry meets visual art: director Julika Mayer and Munich artist Olga Golos turn art objects into toys and tools, moved and turned in front of the audience. The Schauburg is building it in close contact with the youngest theatergoers it is made for.
Kleine Sportgeister is a Turncafé (a gym café) in Schwabing set up for babies and toddlers. The movement room is laid out with gym mats, soft foam blocks, ramps, tunnels and climbing frames, and the setup changes regularly, so crawlers and new walkers can climb, slide and balance.
A play and café corner serves coffee, waffles and cake, and parents stay with their child the whole time.
Schauburg is the city's public theater for young audiences, based on Elisabethplatz. Its ensemble stages plays and dance pieces for every stage of childhood, from a show for crawling babies to dramas for teens.
Shows are in German, some marked as plain language (Einfache Sprache). The LABs are pay-what-you-can workshops where kids and teens make theater themselves.
Luitpoldpark spreads 33 hectares of open lawns around a 1911 obelisk and linden grove. North of the Bamberger Haus, a playground holds a winding hedge maze and the Pumuckl fountain.
The 37-meter Luitpoldhügel, a hill built from wartime rubble, is a quick climb with views to the Olympic Tower. In winter its shaded north slope is one of the city's steepest toboggan runs.
