👨👩👧👦 Family days at the Oktoberfest 2025
The best days for families are the official Family Days on Tuesday, September 23rd and 30th, 2025. Until 7 pm, there will be discounts on rides, food stalls, and special children's menus in many tents.
But a visit to Familienplatzl (Street 3/East) is worthwhile on any other day as well. There you'll find:
-
Snacks in child-friendly portions
-
Special prices for families
-
Lots of little surprises for the kids ✨
-
a stroller parking garage and a baby changing room
-
Microwave for heating food brought along
-
barrier-free access with wooden flooring
Perfect for taking a short break between the carousel and the chicken.
👕 Traditional clothing for the little ones
Children in traditional dress are a highlight every year! Lederhosen are a classic for boys, and pretty dirndl dresses are perfect for girls – add braided pigtails and the look is complete. Even sweeter: if the outfits match the parents' colors. That's guaranteed to make for enchanting family photos. 📸
