OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

The Kunsthistorisches Museum has its own children’s programme: guided tours for children and workshops in the museum’s studio, both sold as separate low-cost tickets. Children must be supervised throughout the visit, so plan on staying with them rather than dropping them off.

With a pram, the side entrance on Burgring is the step-free way in. The trade-off comes inside: on busy days the museum can restrict prams in the exhibition rooms, so a carrier is the safer bet at peak times. Backpacks and umbrellas can go in the cloakroom or the lockers, but there is nowhere to leave travel luggage.

The Café-Restaurant is in the Kuppelhalle, and eating there requires a valid museum ticket. There are toilets on several levels, and the museum is served by underground, tram and bus lines.

Why kids will love it

Because it costs nothing to bring the children: under-19s get in free, with no online ticket needed – they are recorded at the entrance on showing a student ID. Add a children’s tour or studio session and the visit has a shape built for them, not just for you.
