Does a show ticket cover the U-Bahn?

Yes. Tickets for the paid shows count as an MVV ticket on the day of the show. The U4 and U5 stop at Theresienwiese, right by the grounds.

Is the New Year's Eve party for kids?

It is a late night out more than a family event. Tollwood returns on December 31 for a ticketed party from 7pm, with live music from 7:30pm, a midnight waltz and no set end time. The market stalls are gone by then, and fireworks and sparklers are not allowed on site.

Can we bring the dog?

Yes, on a leash on the free grounds. Animals are not allowed into the paid shows.

Can we get around with a wheelchair?

The tents, toilets and many food stands are wheelchair accessible, though some areas can be closed off at times for safety. Blue-badge holders can park in marked spaces at the Bavarian Red Cross lot on the Theresienwiese, which charges a fee.

About

Tollwood is Munich's alternative Christmas market, set up in big tents and open-air lanes on the Theresienwiese. Around 200 stalls sell crafts, clothing and gifts, much of it fair trade, and more than 50 stands cook certified organic food from many countries. Walk-acts roam the grounds, a performance stage runs shows, and there is a kids' program. It suits families who want shows and food alongside the shopping.

Free entry, big-top shows ticketed
