With a packed spring programme, there is plenty for your children to discover at the Easter Market Schloss Schönbrunn. There is sure to be something for everyone:
Fun and games for all ages are offered by Roberta's Playhouse in the middle of the market. An interactive game invites children from reading age to solve tricky puzzles together with Roberta Huhn. In the Easter Bunny Workshop, children as young as four can model cute Easter bunnies out of marzipan under expert guidance or transform palm catkins and seasonal twigs into a spring-like arrangement. And for Holy Saturday, the Easter Bunny has come up with a fun quiz together with Roberta Huhn.
On the courtyard carousel, children ride merrily in circles on nostalgic furniture and carriage elements. To drive the carousel, adults have to pedal hard.
