7. Let the kids hear the music at Haus der Musik – Kids in Vienna

Vienna is the right city to raise your miniature musical prodigies and this sound museum is just the kind of interactive experience that your little musical genius needs to thrive.  This award-winning museum offers multiple floors of exciting, thoughtful exhibitions that will have your kids stepping into the world of music.  We mean this literally! – they have a musical staircase where each step plays a different note as you step. Play a virtual dice game with the whole family that composes your own personalised waltz and then play your masterpiece in full, for all to hear, as you waltz around the room (Careful, don’t break anything). And if you think you’re up for it, take a swing at conducting. Really. You get to virtually conduct the Vienna Philharmonic! There’s so much here to do, we would be impressed if you could see it all in one visit.

Perks: there’s an app! Download the Haus der Musik app for a virtual tour that will assist you in getting the most out of your experience.

Bathrooms: There is a large bathroom on the ground floor with a changing table for the babies who like to “go” right when you get there. For those that don’t need a changing table, there are bathrooms throughout the museum.
