What you need to know
- Go in the early afternoon, when the carousel and storytelling hut have short waits; Advent Saturdays get busiest from 4pm
- Perchten can scare toddlers: these Bavarian winter figures wear fur and horned masks, so check the schedule for their two Friday evenings
- A dark walk through the park, since the paths are not fully lit; bring a phone light and boots for snow and slush
About
A Christmas market set inside the English Garden, with wooden huts around the lit-up Chinese Tower pagoda. Kids ride a historic 1913 carousel and a small kids' train, take a horse-drawn carriage loop through the park, and try Bavarian ice stock, a curling-style game, on two lanes. Brass players perform from the tower. It suits families who want a calmer market than the crowded Old Town ones.
