Children and youth need different experiences ...
And that’s why our Hello Salzburg partners have developed offers that are specifically tailored to the needs of children and teenagers. Get inspired and gather ideas for your next school trip, a creative workshop for the whole class, or a very special birthday party.
Educational Programs: By Pros for Pros
Modern educational programs are essential for introducing cultural heritage and history to children and teenagers. Through interactive tours, workshops, and creative projects, learning becomes lively and tangible. The programs offered by the Hello Salzburg partners not only promote historical understanding but also encourage critical thinking and creativity. Be it the "Classroom Underground," a themed day focused on salt, or a group treasure hunt in the Salzburg Open-Air Museum, activities such as these make learning fun and engaging.
Children’s Tours & Audio Guides: Seeing History Through Different Eyes
Children’s tours and audio guides are crucial for sparking the interest of young visitors at museums and historical sites. With age-appropriate explanations and exciting stories, complex knowledge is made far easier to understand. For example, the Hellbrunn Trick Fountains, Hohenwerfen Castle, and Mauterndorf Castle all offer special audio guides for children in multiple languages. At Salzwelten Salzburg meanwhile, their special children’s tours feature Sally the Mine Duck, guaranteed to make the kids’ eyes light up with excitement.
Workshops That Foster Creativity
Special workshops for children at the attractions of Hello Salzburg partners allow young participants to actively experience history and culture, deepening their knowledge through playful activities. At DomQuartier Salzburg, for example, the KreativKids Club offers painting, drawing, crafting, and more. At the Salzburg Open-Air Museum, ancient crafts are taught to children and teenagers in playful ways.
Events for All Ages
An afternoon with real knights and medieval craftsmen at Hohensalzburg Fortress? A children’s festival including a zipline at the Kaprun High Mountain Reservoirs? Or a bird-of-prey show accompanied by medieval music? All this and more is offered by the events of our Hello Salzburg partners throughout the year, making every excursion an unforgettable experience.
A Different Kind of Birthday Party
The children’s birthday parties at the museums and attractions of our Hello Salzburg partners provide a unique setting in which to simultaneously celebrate and broaden their knowledge. Children are able to learn playfully, participate in creative activities, and share unforgettable moments with friends: for instance, at Hohensalzburg Fortress, Hohenwerfen Castle, Mauterndorf Castle, the DomQuartier, the Hellbrunn Trick Fountains, or at the Salzburg Open-Air Museum.
Many Benefits for Teachers and Chaperones.
The Hello Salzburg partners further support teachers and leisure educators with a variety of benefits, discounts, and customized offers. From reduced admission prices to tailored tours and professional development opportunities, the possibilities are many and varied. Further down this page, you’ll find the contact details of individual partner organizations. We look forward to hearing from you!
