3 Best Sights in Austria

Children of all ages will enjoy this enchanting museum. There are four rooms with dolls and dollhouses dating from the late 1700s to the present day, as well as teddy bears, stuffed animals, marionette puppets, and other toys.

On a rainy day the Toy Museum, partly set in a 14th-century burghers' house, is delightful diversion for both young and old. There's an interactive collection of historical dolls and teddy bears, themed soft play areas (choose between a knights' castle and a Viking longship), a blocks and bricks zone, and a children's library with comfy sofas. Punch and Judy–style Kasperltheater puppet shows leave everyone laughing, with performances held every Wednesday at 3 pm, and there's a children's cinema, too.

Kids of all ages enjoy this outstanding museum, where they can experience the fine line between the real and virtual worlds, making screenplays come to life by becoming directors, sound technicians, authors, and actors. For the little ones there's an "ocean" where kids and parents enter a play area inhabited by magical underwater creatures. The museum operates through little workshops, with the staff very hands-on and available to the children. You must book your tickets for a specific admission time, so reserve via the website before you go.
