Packed programme: The popular Children’s and Family Day at the Mercedes-Benz Mus

(1/1)

fasteddy:
The popular Children’s and Family Day at the Mercedes-Benz Museum this year offers an even more extensive range of activities. It will take place on Sunday, 9 July 2023, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The programme, featuring numerous providers from around the region, includes attractions in the outdoor area of the Museum as well as on Level 1 and in the CAMPUS. All activities on offer are free of charge. Sports enthusiasts can venture onto the bungee trampoline, play bubble ball, have a go on the ninja course or take part in exciting competitions with a racing car that they build themselves. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can travel at a maximum of 16 km/h on the Benz Patent Motor Car or enjoy the varied entertainment programme on the large show stage. In addition, various hands-on activities for crafts enthusiasts will make the day a great experience with lots of games, fun and excitement.
Here is what visitors can experience:

    Design a racing car that is then tested on the race track. Get that racing feeling right up close with Aventerra e.V., a non-profit organisation that offers camps, study trips and experiential education for children and adolescents. A racing team always consists of children with their parents.
    Take a spin in the world’s first vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz Museum invites you to take a ride in the Benz Patent Motor Car, an authentic reconstruction with a true-to-the-original single-cylinder engine.
    Take a seat in a Mercedes-Benz 600 and be chauffeured through the Neckarpark in this representative vehicle just like crowned heads, heads of state and other high-ranking figures once did.
    Sport stacking (build a pyramid of cups against the clock) and have fun at the participatory sports stand of the German Children’s Sports Academy.
    Test your skills on the frisbee wall at the Tripsdrill stand. There are also prizes to be won when you participate in the activities offered by Tripsdrill Adventure Park.
    Programme small beetle robots, tinker with the perfect circuit or build a Morse code machine. At the stand of the Science Centre of the Forscherfabrik Schorndorf, there will be exciting hands-on activities for young and grown-up inventors alike. There’s also a tricky team game that lets visitors find out how well they work as a group.
    Experience the fascination of model railways. Model trains from Göppingen-based Swabian toy manufacturer Gebr. Märklin & Cie. GmbH are sure to attract all generations.
    Build a sustainable and resource-saving racing car. In the “Genius Challenge”, the result goes into the racing tube. Who is the fastest?
    Activity course for brave acrobats and a bouncy castle. The radio station Hitradio Antenne 1 will be there with games, fun and action.
    Follow in the footsteps of famous artists. The creative programme from KuBUS, the mobile studio of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, allows you to create your own works of art using an experimental printing process.
    “Radio you can touch”. The children’s and family radio station Radio Teddy will be a guest on the open-air stage with a large entertainment programme, including for example a music and cuddly toy show and hits from the well-known musical “Bibi and Tina”.
    Football with bubble balls, a football wall, sim racing, table football and mini table tennis are the attractions on offer from the SG Stern e.V., the Mercedes-Benz sports community.
    Jump up to eight metres high on a bungee trampoline, try the circle jump with fitness jumps over a rotating, padded beam or complete the ninja course. Courage, skill and athleticism are required in the jumping area.
    Disc golf and adventure golf are among the family and leisure activities on offer from the Town of Nürtingen.
    What speed does a handball throw reach? The throw measuring system of the handball club TV Bittenfeld gives the exact result.
    Goal-shooting contest, hockey with a technical course and show competitions, table tennis with a table tennis robot: VfB Stuttgart 1893 e.V. will be represented by its hockey and table tennis sections. Fritzle, the VfB mascot, will visit the Children’s and Family Day, and be available for photos and autographs. Guides will offer a tour of the Mercedes-Benz Arena at various starting times.
    With a wheel of fortune and its mascot Wonni, the popular leisure pool Wonnemar Backnang will be on site.
    Activities and information on the topic of nutrition will be offered by DAK-Gesundheit, including a vitamin cocktail in a chilled lounge.
    Technological innovations will be presented by the Mercedes-Benz SUSTAINEER, a technology carrier with innovative solutions for better quality of life and road safety in cities, climate protection and resource conservation as well as driver health and safety.

Numerous mascots from the region will be out and about on the site all day. Among others: Fritzle (VfB Stuttgart), Johnny Blue (TVB Stuttgart), Lenny Luchs (WILDLINE Bad Wildbad), Luftikus (parents’ newspaper Luftballon), Wonni (Wonnemar) and, of course, Carlotta (Mercedes-Benz Museum).

If they can grab one of the coveted seats, visitors may arrange the arrival or departure of the Family Day as a journey through time. Between Stuttgart's Schlossplatz and the Mercedes-Benz Museum, two vintage buses from the 1950s will run throughout the day.
