 A trip to the stars |
Museumsinsel 1 Isarvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80538 Germany +49 89 2112 5180 http://www.fdt.de |
As a centre of education for natural science and technology, the Forum's two main attractions are its IMAX cinema and planetarium. Just watching the enormous 16x22m celluloid screen is a fantastic experience in itself, and young and old alike will enjoy learning about the stars in the planetarium. Current events are advertised in the press and in the Forum's own brochures, where price details can also be found. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Fun on the river |
Weidach Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany |
In days gone by, rafts were used to transport wood from the Lower Alps to Munich. Nowadays they are used to ferry groups of tourists along the river. The route runs from Wolfratshausen (S7) to Thalkirchen. The journey lasts five to seven hours and, although there are no toilets on board, there are provisions in the form of Bavarian snacks, brass bands and, above all, beer. Don't forget to look up from your tankard once in a while, because the scenery along the route is stunning. Trips take place from May to Sep.

Fairy tales and puppetry |
Blumenstraße 32 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany +49 89 26 5712 |
Munich's first puppet theater was founded in 1858 by Josef Leonhard Schmid and the Count of Pocci. Architect Theodor Fischer was commissioned to build a new theater in 1900, and the result was the first ever purpose-built puppet theater. It is just as impressive today as it was a hundred years ago and continues to draw in punters young and old, who come to laugh at Kasperl (the German equivalent of Punch and Judy) and listen to fairy tales from around the world.
