Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Start at Kinderreich if you have children under 8. Once they see upstairs, you will never get them back.
The mining tunnel is a reconstructed coal mine. Wear closed-toe shoes.
Do NOT try to see it all. Pick 5 sections max. Plan 3-4 hours minimum.
The cafeteria is good and affordable. The strudel is worth a detour.

A Real Parent's Story
An hour in the Kids Kingdom
“My 7-year-old spent his entire first hour in Kinderreich building bridges and playing with water wheels.”

We entered with a plan to see the aviation section and emerged 4 hours later having seen only a fraction. My son camped in the Kids Kingdom building dams.
