A big city for little visitors

Towers, parks and playgrounds, animals, theatre - there is a lot to experience with children in Frankfurt. We have put together a few highlights for you on this page.

For those who like to be outdoors, the banks of the River Main offer endless space to play, run and relax. Equally popular amongst young and old, river cruise on the Main offers unique perspectives of the city and the youthful thrill of a boat trip on the rushing waters. The Senckenberg Museum of Natural History is another highlight for curious young visitors. With its impressive dinosaur skeletons and interactive exhibitions, it awakens enthusiasm for the natural sciences.

Then there's the Riederwald adventure playground (Unfortunately, their website is only available in German.), which invites children to climb, build and explore with its creative play areas. Whatever your and your children's interests are, Frankfurt is an ideal destination for families who want to discover new things together and experience unforgettable moments.

I see!

Did you know that the Struwwelpeter (aka Shock-Haired Peter) is a real Frankfurt character?

The children's book was written in 1844 by the celebrated Frankfurt doctor and psychiatrist, Heinrich Hoffmann.
