Children & families
Oberhofen Castle is a family-friendly place and a great experience for young and old. In the park under the lime trees are swings and a chest with playthings for outdoor games, while at the castle gates is a public playground, accessible even when the museum is not open.
DRESS UP
On selected Sundays and during special events, you can dress up as a princess, knight, countess, count or ghost and so discover the castle!
MOUSE TRAIL
In the exhibition “Always at your service”
The mouse trail calls on children to help the servants search for the hidden castle inhabitants. Cupboards and small doors in the exhibition rooms may be opened for this purpose. Anyone who finds all the mice and answers all the questions gets a reward.
The mouse trail is suitable for children from the age of 4 to 10.
Time required: approx. 1 hour | Costs for the booklet: CHF 1.50
