The witching hour

Who is that howling through the castle at midnight? Could it be the little ghost of the castle? He is happy to have lots of little comrades to keep him company in the castle. Dressed up as ghosts, the children learn more about the life of ghosts through a story and help the castle ghost to find his keys. These were lost in the museum. After a successful search, the birthday child is allowed to eat the cake and unwrap his presents. And so that the children remember the nice castle ghost for a long time to come, they make a souvenir to take home afterwards. 

 

Visit the knights

The birthday child and his or her friends can feel like knights. Dressed in a tabard, the children are immersed in the Middle Ages, learn how knights lived and see for themselves how heavy the knight equipment is. At the subsequent knights' banquet, cakes are eaten and presents unwrapped. And to make sure that the knights' afternoon is remembered for a long time, the little knights can make a souvenir afterwards. 

 

The magical mermaid

Do you hear the mermaid singing from the shell? What is she singing? Is she perhaps telling you about the sailors who inhabit Lake Zug? The children listen to the legend of the mermaid from Lake Zug, which originated almost 600 years ago, and are allowed to dress up as water kings, mermaids and sea queens or sea youths. The children will then get to the bottom of the legend and explore the mermaid's magic potion before tasting the potion and cake themselves and the birthday boy or girl will be allowed to unwrap their presents. To make the afternoon unforgettable, each of the young sailors gets to make a souvenir to take home. 

Detectives

Oh dear – chaos has broken out at the museum! A valuable work of art has suddenly disappeared! And that's not all. Now famous detectives with sharp minds are needed. Celebrate an unforgettable children's birthday party searching for the thief and find out: who did it?

Bookings available as of April 2026.

Princesses

Haven't you always wanted to be a real princess? But did you know that princesses, princes and nobles had to follow certain rules? The children learn what advantages noblemen once enjoyed and how they dressed and acted. Of course, the appropriate disguise is not to be missed and the fine ladies and gentlemen are allowed to slip into their costumes. Those who want to can apply the rules of etiquette they have learned while eating cake, greet their mothers with a kiss on the hand and present them with a fragrant souvenir. 

Unicorn

Do you love unicorns and know everything about them? Then you've come to the right place. We're going on an exciting search for the unicorn treasure and will discover various unicorns in surprising places in the castle. And for this we need you and your birthday party. Because nobody knows as much about the magical charm of the unicorn as you! With the right disguise, your treasure hunt is guaranteed to be a success. And to make sure you remember your unicorn birthday for a long time to come, you and your guests can of course also craft a unicorn crown to take home. Simply magical!
