8 Children's Museums in Austrian Alps That You Shouldn't Miss
The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

Hands-on-Museum, Children's Museum. The Toy Museum invites you into the world of playing. The main focus lies on experiencing and giving things a try, many toys that you can play with are waiting for you. Therefore: take off your shoes, grab some slippers and off you go!

The Salzburg Toy (Spielzeug) museum is not a conventional museum but is as much a place to play as it is to see exhibits. Of course, it does have toys and games from the past on display, but these are interspersed with a wide variety of play areas. These range from: amazing marble run - race tracks (they will give you marbles to play with at reception), train sets, building sets, a lovely children’s library with plenty of cosy corners to snuggle up and read books together, fairy- tale themed play houses e.g. Snow White’s cottage, the Gingerbread House etc. and a puppet theatre so you can put on your own glove puppet show. There’s even an internal slide to get from one floor to the next. There is so much here to feed a young child’s imagination. The whole museum is kept very clean, this is aided by swapping one’s outdoor shoes for indoor ones on arrival or putting plastic liners over one’s own shoes. Whilst this museum will mostly appeal to the under tens I think anyone who is young at heart will enjoy it too. We went as a group of two sixty - year olds and two thirty- year olds and we all had fun. The Salzburg Toy museum is in the centre of town so it easy to combine a visit here with seeing other attractions. It currently costs 4.50 Euros for adults and children cost 2.00 euros with family tickets/ concessions also available, you can also get free entry if you have a Salzburg card. I believe it is open every day except Monday. The museum has a gift shop and clean toilets. Overall, a great place for anyone who likes to play like a child.

Words cannot describe what they must have been thinking when they created Bible World. The attached photos are just a few highlights of our experience. Thankfully the visit was included on our Salzburg Card, otherwise spending money on this would have been disastrous. There isn’t really a joined up ‘theme’ with the random stories on the audio guide; and they don’t explain why you should crawl through the various dark passages and leap into dark holes...In addition there are a number of former mannequins placed around Bible World in a dishevelled state and fashion. The health and safety aspects of this attraction clearly don’t apply. For example, in one section of the museum there is an enclosed mini red maze which leads you to a hole in the wall, which we thought was a slide, however, not even a young child would feel comfortable with the limited amount of space in the slide. There was no obvious place to where the slide comes out but we think it is either in a dark tunnel (see later for details on this!) or a minute hole in the wall over the other side of the museum. Quite randomly, there is a hole in the ground, with a blue plastic ladder attached to the side; there is no explanation of what is down there but going down it is almost pitch black with lots of hair coming from the ceiling. Quite alarming, as well as confusing, as there is a tunnel leading off into the darkness... It is quite hard to summarise the whole experience, but we have given a couple of examples. We did not feel that this enlightened our idea of religion, on the contrary, it gives the feeling of a horror museum. If you want a truly unique experience then we advise you to visit Bible World...
