Oktoberfest (Munich) with kids

I am spending a couple weeks in Germany this fall with a friend & DD. We originally planned on just doing the Rhine/Mosel region & Rothenburg but last night she mentioned maybe taking the train to Munich since it will be Oktoberfest. (Ive been to Munich before with DD but not Oktoberfest).

For those that have gone how insane would it be to go for a day (during the week) with a 2 1/2 year old?! I won't be drinking since I will be about 6 months pregnant but this is my friends first trip to Europe and I know she would love to experience it.

Would you go? DD did great in the beer halls in Munich (she thought the music & people were funny) but I know this is a LOT crazier. I've already told my friend I would have to leave before night which she is cool with.

Re: Oktoberfest (Munich) with kids

  • We went with out 3.5 year old.  It was fine and fun for him.  There are tons of carnival type rides and even a family tent area.  We usually sat outside instead of inside the tents (we didn't have seat reservations).  He had a great time! You are not allowed to bring a stroller in though, FYI.  They won't let you in with it.
  • I didn't go with a toddler but I did go during the week/daytime and at night.  I think it will be fine.  During the day it isn't nearly as crowded or rowdy as nighttime.  The Germans bring their kids too so, you will likely be fine.

  • I'm late on this, but definitely go!  During the weekdays, it's basically just a fair - lots of families are there, riding rides and everything.  Especially before noon, you'll have no problem getting a seat in the tents if you want to have lunch there.  We went last year and had a blast!
