Children and adults can get active in the adventure areas at bauma. These include
These offers bring technology to life. Particularly popular: asking questions to real machine operators or inspecting a machine with an expert.
Numerous exhibitors create hands-on areas, craft stations and technology games. In interactive workshops, children learn about safety on the building site, environmental protection and sustainable building in a fun way. The focus here is not on the competition, but on the shared experience. Tip: Many stations offer small prizes, certificates or photo opportunities - memories to take home guaranteed. Particularly exciting are offers such as building competitions with creative materials, where children realize small projects in teams or individually. Interactive displays with touchscreens and simulations also allow young visitors to experience construction machinery in action - without any noise or danger. For parents, these stations offer the opportunity to explain technology and innovation to their children up close and discover new things for themselves. There are also stations with real craft tasks: Bricklaying, paving, screwing or sawing - all under supervision and with real tools, of course. These hands-on experiences promote dexterity, teamwork and interest in technical professions. Some exhibitors even offer “children's driving licenses” for successfully completing the course - a great souvenir with a learning factor. Another highlight: hands-on sustainability. Exhibitors present how modern building materials are processed in an environmentally friendly way or how digital solutions help save CO₂. Here, too, simple experiments invite children to join in and be amazed. This variety of playful approaches makes the bauma Family Day a real voyage of discovery through the world of technology - vivid, educational and full of fun.
A successful family day starts with good preparation - and smart planning is crucial for this. If you pay attention to a few points in advance, you will not only ensure that everything runs smoothly, but can also get an idea of what is happening at the trade fair in advance, for example via bauma Webcam. Plan regular breaks in the quiet zones or in the catering area, especially if you are traveling with small children. These retreats not only offer relaxation, but also space for changing diapers, breastfeeding or simply taking a deep breath. Mark the most important stations and offers that you don't want to miss on the hall plan in advance - e.g. children's construction sites, demonstration areas or sanitary facilities. This will help you find your way around the trade fair and save valuable time. Pack a small exhibition kit: snacks, drinks, wet wipes and a change of clothes for the little ones if necessary. Particularly practical: a foldable handcart or rucksack for utensils. Smart packing keeps you flexible and mobile. Start the day as early as possible to avoid peak times - the early morning hours are often less crowded and offer more space for interaction at the stands. Find out in advance about family-friendly services, such as special entrances or orientation aids for children.
