For families
In addition to our playground with a range of attractions like a slide, a nest swing and a nodding animal, the Brickyard Museum has many other activities for children. Making bricks with your own hands, stacking building blocks in the construction workshop, meeting our comic characters, "Master Brickmaker Lehmann" and "Bricky Tony" on the children's circular trail, taking a ride on the light railway or enjoying a "Lippische Pickert" on the sun terrace. There's a lot for all the family to discover here.
On the road with Lehmann, the Master Brickmaker
The material from which houses have been built for centuries feels cold, sticky and heavy. Children can shape bricks with their own hands with the help of a wooden frame. A few weeks later they can pick them up again as finished baked bricks.
The hand-making brickyard is one of the most popular stops on the children's circular trail with "Bricky Tony" and "Brickmaster Lehmann". Picture and text boards featuring the two comic figures guide the children through the museum and encourage them to participate and experiment.
In the mechanical brickworks, boys and girls can use heavy metal wheels to push the damp clay through a metal grate, drive tippers and make small bricks on a model extruder.
Workshops and more
In addition to workshops for children which are always held on Saturdays, we also offer programms that may be booked on visits with larger groups of children. Here you can find special offers for children's birthdays.
