Children's Museum and Maze at Schönbrunn with kids

On the ground floor of the palace there is a museum built for children from three to twelve. They handle toys of the kind imperial children played with, learn the secret language of fans and set a table for an imperial dinner. It is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm and the ticket costs the same for adults and children.

The maze has shorter hours than the park and last entry is 45 minutes before closing, so do it before the museum in autumn.

Ages 3 to 10 are the target and it shows. It is the better palace ticket for most families with young children. Babies get nothing from it and anyone over twelve will be bored.

The combined ticket adds the Maze, the Labyrinth and the Labyrinthikon playground in the park. The Labyrinth area covers 2,700 square metres of games, including a giant kaleidoscope and a climbing pole with a bell at the top. This pairing gives a five-year-old the palace visit they can enjoy, and it sits a short walk from the zoo.

Tips for the visit

Ticket offices at the Maze take cards only.
The combined ticket with the maze and the zoo covers a full Schönbrunn day in one purchase.
Check the maze opening hours on the day. They change with the season.
