Into the green adventure: Children build their own garden

On International Museum Day, the Museum of Garden Culture in Illertissen becomes a lively family experience. In this participatory activity for children aged 6 to 12, parents and children together design a garden for the garden explorers and experience nature with all their senses.

A day full of discovery, building, and amazement

Here, not just looking is involved; hands-on activity is very much part of the experience: digging, hammering, moving soil in wheelbarrows, and building a bean tipi. This is what makes this family-friendly offer so appealing. Children experience fun learning, physical activity, and a sense of teamwork, while families spend quality time in an environment that conveys nature knowledge in a child-friendly and engaging way.

Why this family offer is so special

The Museum of Garden Culture combines exhibition, garden library, and experiential spaces indoors and outdoors. The garden explorers are conceived as an open, generally two-hour participatory program for children, promoting curiosity, creativity, and a basic understanding of ecological connections. For families, this creates an outing that combines fun and educational value.

Well-prepared for families

The museum is step-free accessible and partially barrier-free for people with walking disabilities. A designated disabled parking space is available. Thus, the venue also provides a good foundation for a relaxed visit for families with diverse needs. The museum café enhances the outing with a pleasant break in the green.

Conclusion: A participatory day that stays in memory

For those looking for an outing with children that combines nature experience, physical activity, and educational value, this family offer is just right. The Garden Explorer Day invites participants to be active, ask questions, and create something of their own together. This family experience nurtures a love for gardening and makes people eager for more.
