All of the information that accompanies the exhibitions in GRIMMWELT are bilingual (German and English).

The "GRIMMWELT App" is available for the permanent exhibition as an audio guide and as a reading and media guide in various languages.

and the Apple App Store.

A limited number of audio guide devices are available at the ticket office for a rental fee (€ 2, plus headphones € 1).

We recommend that children from the age of 6 visit the permanent exhibition. In particular, the section of the exhibition dedicated to the Brothers Grimm's linguistic research is only suitable for children from primary school onwards.

Smaller children are nevertheless very welcome, and nursery school groups are also very welcome to visit us - especially the interactive fairy-tale world around the DORNENHECKE.

The exhibition rooms are accessible by lift from the ground floor (foyer, shop, catering, toilets) and may also be accessed with prams.

For safety reasons, we reserve the right to regulate access to exhibition rooms with prams if necessary (e.g. large numbers of visitors). In such cases, we have space available to leave prams and pushchairs.

All floors of the GRIMMWELT are accessible by lift. There is also an accessible toilet on the ground floor and on the first floor.
