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.
