Exhibitions
Everything grows – powered by SONNENTOR
A wondrous garden full of amazing plants and animals for children between the ages of 3 and 7.
What is that creepy-crawly down there? Who is leaving a slimy trail through the garden? Can you see how the pumpkin plant stretches upwards and how its roots extend downwards? Here there is a lot going on above and below ground because everything is growing and moving. Discover fruit and vegetables in countless colours, shapes and sizes and find out how everything is connected and how everything miraculously and constantly repeats itself. There is really no need to steer clear of fruit and vegetables!

Food, glorious food.
– facilitated by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
A participatory exhibition on the diversity of food for children aged 8 and over
– supported by “Sonnentor”
What do you actually enjoy eating? What happens when you prepare food? How far is food transported? And what do other people eat? Come into the FRida & freD kitchen and savour all the exciting information about food.
Take part in the dance to aid digestion, jump like popcorn in the saucepan, catch the slices of toast and discover that food is everywhere you look!

FRida & freD Bakery
Research laboratory for children aged 8 and over
Our laboratory becomes a bakery!
Why does the bread dough have to be kneaded and what happens to the bread when it is in the oven? And why does the bread get a crust on the outside but stay soft on the inside? You will find out what is behind, or rather inside it, in our bakery! And the taste experience is not neglected either when you stir the butter, make curd cheese and bake bread yourself in the laboratory!
For young researchers between the ages of 8 and 12
Groups:

Participatory theatre
Forscherixa in the castle kitchen
What smells so good here? Forscherixa loves the cakes that the chef conjures up in the castle’s kitchen. She would also like to be able to do that and help out in the kitchen.
But that is not that easy! How does Forscherixa know whether there is salt or sugar in the tin when it is not labelled? How can she find the right spoons in the dark storeroom? And what does she have to do to get the cake dough nice and fluffy?
Accompany Forscherixa on her new adventure and help her to bake a cake!
For groups of children between the ages of 3 and 7
Registration required.
