Christmas time is just my favorite time of year in Vienna. I don't even mind bundling up because the beauty of it all keeps me warm inside. I know, I'm totally cheesy, but Christmas time does that to me. I'm Hindu married to a Jew and I love decorating my home in Christmas decorations and getting the tree and singing carols.
I digress.
Back to Christmas activities for kids. Well, it is so simple and no one I know, knows about it. Right inside the Rathaus is the most awesome setup for kids. Just walk through the Christmas market and go into the Rathaus through the front steps and make a right. You'll see a small door and enter. Inside there is an information stand where you buy tickets. Euro 1.50 for baking cookies and Euro 3.50 for the other activities. The kids are taken into booths where two professionals help them with the activity. They paint candle stands, can make tissue boxes, decorate candles, paint picture frames, bake cookies and so much more. You can sit back on the benches and watch them with some punsch. The activities start for kids 4 and up.
And could you ask for a more perfect gift for the grandparents!!!! A picture frame painted by their grandchild with a picture inside.
My favorite is the baking cookies one because they get a cute hat (which they keep) and they get a delicious bag of warm cookies on the way out.
Here is the link. They do this every year. And the best part is that it's rarely crowded, there are clean indoor bathrooms and it's warm. They are open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on most days.
