Activity Level
Think you know the real story? Think again. Alongside your grandchild, venture to Germany’s Black Forest, where fairy tales were first dreamed up and the Brothers Grimm sat down to tell their tales. From “Hansel and Gretel” to “Sleeping Beauty,” some of the most famous stories were shaped in this part of this world, and now you’ll have the awesome opportunity to learn how they came to be. Along the way, feel like you’ve stepped into a picture book yourself as you both explore castles, waterfalls, tiny villages and fun markets together.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Explore the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm and get swept away in their fairy tales at the awesome Grimm Fairytale Kingdom — an interactive museum.
  • Visit the Black Forest Museum, home to over 1,000 cuckoo clocks!
  • Hike to the tippy top of Schlossberg Tower and explore the forest on foot as you feel like Little Red Riding Hood exploring the wilderness.
