| We are planning two weeks in Germany in Dec 2018, partly to visit family but then to travel around a bit and also head to Salsburg. I would love to hear about fun things for kids that age to do in Dec. we will go to several christmas markets as well. I am looking for anything. We already took her to "tropical island" indoor waterpark and may do that again. we will mainly be in Hanover and further south bavaria I think. |
| We’ve been in Munich the past two christmases. The markets are obviously lovely. My son is a bit older, but he enjoyed the outdoor ice skating and a bus tour to Neuschwanstein. Our first year, we added a few days of skiing at Stubai glacier, but based out of Innesbruck (just be careful of altitude sickness) - it’s the closest point nearby that is high enough to be snow sure at that time of year. |

Salt Mines --tour underground and big slides, etc. These are near Salzburg/Berchtesgaden
Ludwig castles: Palace at Chiemsee Neuschwanstein ("disney castle) Linderhof Palace All are interesting and fun. 6 year old would prefer Neuschwanstein and, probably, the castle in Salzburg https://www.european-traveler.com/germany/visiting-schloss-linderhof-and-park-bavaria/ Science Museum in Munich |
| Just a note to research dates for Xmas markets depending if you will be here during Xmas. Many will close 12/22 due to the holiday falling on a Monday (most close 12/24 or 12/23 in general, few will reopen 12/27 for 3-4 days as a New Years market). |
