Families often use the summer vacation for outings and spending time together. This often raises the question of how to make the most of summer days in a way that’s varied, relaxing, and affordable.
To provide support in this area, the City of Aachen is once again setting up a free-of-charge play and family room in the city center this year. This initiative creates a safe space where parents, grandparents, and children can play together, have fun, and interact.
This year, the family-friendly zone is located in the Annahalle at Annastraße 14-16. From August 3 to 28, families can spend time together there on weekdays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and also participate in a variety of rotating play and craft activities. The activities are led by city students enrolled in the practice-integrated dual degree program in social work, who are also available to answer organizational questions. However, the responsibility for supervising the children remains with their legal guardians or adult chaperones.
Whether you have young or older children, or are coming as a family, everyone is warmly invited to spend a few fun-filled summer days together. Admission is free for everyone. So, just grab your family, pack some snacks for the day, and come on by!
