Teenagers want plans that don't feel built for their little siblings. This list keeps to places and events open to 13- to 17-year-olds, with the ones made for that age at the top, so you can suggest something they might pick themselves.
Flint was the Stone Age toolmaker's favorite material, and this workshop teaches the basics of shaping it. Kids work with real flint to make carving knives and arrowheads, guided by Dr. Robert Graf. It is part of the museum's program for the Stonehenge exhibition.
A 1,150 m² indoor laser tag arena in Garching, just north of Munich, with obstacles, raised platforms, and light and sound effects. Up to 50 players wear Laserforce Gen8 vests, and power-ups change how each round plays.
Staff give a short briefing before play, so first-timers can join in. A lounge serves pizza, snacks and drinks between rounds.
The Residenz was the palace of Bavaria's Wittelsbach dukes, electors and kings, and has been a museum since 1920. Most rooms still hold their original furniture, tapestries and paintings, so kids walk through gilded halls as they were used. The Antiquarium, the oldest surviving room, is a long painted vault lined with marble busts. The separate Treasury shows the dynasty's treasures, and the Court Garden outside is free.
Munich's first indoor pool opened in 1901 and still runs in its original Art Nouveau halls. The big hall has a 31-meter pool under a painted, vaulted ceiling; the smaller hall has an 18-meter pool that is quieter and suits easy laps.
There is no paddling pool or learner pool, so it suits kids who already swim. Adults can add the sauna and the Roman-Irish steam bath.
The FC Bayern Museum fills Level 3 of the Allianz Arena with club history since 1900: original trophies, jerseys, match footage and a Hall of Fame of player legends.
The arena tour takes families from the museum into the stadium itself. Kids can rent their own multimedia guide, Café Gisela serves snacks inside the museum, and the FC Bayern Fan Store is right next door.
The BMW Museum traces over 100 years of BMW cars and motorcycles through themed houses on design, technology, motorsport and the brand, in a bowl-shaped building next to the Olympiapark.
Kids walk past race cars, prototypes and the tiny Isetta bubble car, and at least one Art Car painted by artists such as Andy Warhol or Jeff Koons is always on display.
