Events for children & families in Leipzig

Events for children and the whole family, family outings for young and old in Leipzig

Leipzig is a city that can be discovered with children without anyone sighing or looking at their watch, and that is a real achievement. Because there are family events and children's activities here that are so well done that they genuinely inspire adults too. If you are out and about with the little ones or simply want to experience something playful yourself, you will find regular events in the city's calendar of events where the concept of family is very broadly defined. A must-visit is the Children's Museum in the Böttchergäßchen building of the City History Museum, where children can not only look at city history, but also touch and help shape it, with a three-dimensional model of the city, a freely usable children's puppet theater and changing hands-on exhibitions, all with free admission. If you want to experience theater in its purest, most handmade form, the Sterntaler puppet theater in Talstraße is the place to be: here, three independent puppet theater ensembles, Theater WiWo, Theater Fingerhut and Theater Papperlapapp, take turns performing their program for children aged three and up, and the enthusiasm in the hall is guaranteed to be felt on both sides of the stage. The GRASSI Museumsquartier on Johannisplatz is another family paradise: With three museums under one roof, Applied Arts, Musical Instruments and Ethnology, there are regular family Sundays, children's workshops and an annual Grassifest with creative activities and music, where admission is Free admission up to the age of 18 . The Schaubühne Lindenfels in Karl-Heine-Straße also has a broad program for younger audiences: The house combines cinema, theater and cultural events under one roof, making it a real all-rounder for culture-loving families . Leipzig thinks of family culture as a real offer, not a stopgap, and you can see that every time you visit.
