Culture for families

DISCOVER AND MARVEL AT ANY AGE Culture for young and old

Culture in Hamburg means: setting off together, being curious, and sharing unforgettable moments. Whether it's young explorers, passionate story lovers, or families on a voyage of discovery – exhibitions, stages and interactive spaces across the city invite everyone to experience culture as an adventure. Sometimes loud and colourful, sometimes quiet and magical – but always an experience that brings people together. For families who want to discover more, together.

DISCOVER. MARVEL. JOIN IN. Worlds of Experience & Interactive Spaces

Here, trying things out, asking questions and marvelling are all encouraged. Hamburg’s interactive spaces for children and families invite you to discover the world through play – exciting, engaging and suitable for all ages. Perfect for family outings where learning and fun go hand in hand.

Chocoversum

Between the UNESCO World Heritage Speicherstadt and the Old Town, visitors discover Hamburg’s sweetest side: at the CHOCOVERSUM, chocolate becomes an experience – from the scent of the cocoa bean to a bar they create themselves.
