Question 1

How does the angel workshop work?

Accepted Answer

The Himmelswerkstatt runs daily in two sessions, 2:30pm to 4pm and 4:30pm to 6pm, for kids 6 to 12. It's free, but you book a slot on kindermuseum-muenchen.de, opening ten days before the date. Meet at the Fischbrunnen on Marienplatz and be on time; the group walks in together.

Question 2

Will the Krampus run frighten my preschooler?

Accepted Answer

It might. Hundreds of Krampus and Perchten figures in masks, fur and bells move through the pedestrian zone on Dec 13. With a nervous small child, watch from a side street or skip that day.

Question 3

Can we pay by card at the stalls?

Accepted Answer

About 80% of traders take cards, often with a minimum spend of €1 to €10, and Amex is not accepted. Bring some cash for small treats.

Question 4

Where are the toilets?

Accepted Answer

There is an accessible toilet in the Prunkhof courtyard of the town hall, and a large Toilet for All in the Marienplatz U-Bahn and S-Bahn station, on the mezzanine to the right of exit D.
