GRIMMWELT adventure space
The GRIMMWELT Kassel is ideal for families and children; it offers a varied programme with a wide range of ways to explore the world of the Brothers Grimm.
As well as the famous Grimm’s fairy tales, there is lots to discover about the brothers and their family, their life in Kassel more than 200 years ago, and their research of the German language.
There’s so much to see, do and experience here. And there are lots of exciting hands-on displays and activities, because the GRIMMWELT is not a museum, but a world of experience—and not just for grown-ups, either.
You can swear as much as you want at Ä wie ÄRSCHLEIN (A for Arse).

A family is defined as a maximum of two parents with their children or two grandparents with their grandchildren. The children or grandchildren must be under 18 years of age.
The recommended age for children visiting the permanent exhibition is six. In particular, the exhibition area on the topic of “Language Research by the Brothers Grimm” is only suitable for children already in primary school.
Smaller children are still very welcome, however. In fact, nursery school groups also enjoy visiting us – especially the interactive fairy tale world around the DORNENHECKE (thorn bush).
The permanent exhibition on the first and second basement levels and the special exhibition on the first floor are accessible to all by lift from the ground floor (foyer, shop, catering area, toilets) and may also be accessed with pushchairs.
For safety reasons, we reserve the right to restrict pushchair access to the exhibition rooms if necessary (e.g., due to large numbers of visitors). In this case, spaces are provided for storing the pushchairs.
The roof of GRIMMWELT can also be reached by lift from the GRIMMWELT foyer.
The disabled toilet on the ground floor is fitted out as a baby changing room.
