The Porsche Museum is a lively place where past, present and future converge. The Museum therefore offers special activities for children such as children’s tours, a museum rally and a child-friendly multimedia guide. It is even possible to hold children’s birthday parties against a backdrop of more than 30,000 PS of automotive history.
Porsche 4Kids Junior Museum Tour
During a personal guided tour of the Museum, the history of the Porsche company and family as well as basic information about cars are explained interactively in an age-appropriate way to children aged between 4 and 7 years. After a tour of the exhibition, which lasts around 45 minutes, the children can give free rein to their creativity and use crayons to draw their own vehicle designs. This offer is especially suitable for kindergarten groups, but also to celebrate the birthdays of future Porsche drivers. The guided tour can be booked for groups of up to 10 children plus two accompanying adults. The charge for the around 60-minute programme is 75 euros plus the admission fee. Children up to the age of 14 have free admission.

Porsche 4Kids birthday
A children’s birthday against the backdrop of more than 30,000 PS is a great way to introduce the history of Porsche to young museum visitors. The birthday child and parents can choose the party theme: “Design”, “Aerodynamics”, “Motorsport” and “Engines”. While the themes “Design”, “Aerodynamics” and “Motorsport” are designed for 8- to 13-year-olds, the theme “Engines” is especially suitable for 12- and 13-year-olds. A birthday cake, sweet or savoury pastries and drinks can be added to the booking as an optional extra.
Design
The children are first invited to take part in a guided tour through the exhibition. The focus of this tour is design, and answers are given to questions such as “What are the design features of a Porsche?” or “How do designers work?”. Thanks to the interactive nature of the tour, children can not only see and listen to the exhibits, their sense of smell and taste is also stimulated. After experiencing what it is like to sit in a Porsche, the children themselves can become creative and paint a wooden Porsche according to their own ideas.
Aerodynamics
Questions such as why cars cannot fly like an aircraft are examined during a children’s birthday with the theme “Aerodynamics”. The children are invited at the start to discover the exhibition by means of a Museum rally. In a playful way, the children become familiar with different materials and learn what technical aids can improve the aerodynamics of a vehicle. Afterwards, the children can test everything they have learned in a model wind tunnel and then create their own aerodynamic vehicle.
Motorsport
Porsche has embodied the fascinating world of motorsport for decades, and young museum visitors can experience this fascination in a playful way. With special attention to motorsport history, the race cars and also the motorsport environment, children can explore the exhibition by means of a museum rally. The rally naturally also covers the spectators and sponsors. Speed and skill are required afterwards: during a pit stop, the car drivers of the future can show how quickly they can dress in full racing gear and then climb into a race car. The excitement continues when it comes to seeing who crosses the finishing line first during the subsequent Carrera slot car race.
Engines
During this interactive guided tour of the exhibition, everything revolves around the fascinating topic of engines. The children learn why engines are needed, how they work and what characterises a typical Porsche engine. After the tour, it goes without saying that the children are allowed to experience what it is like to sit in a Porsche. All the young visitors then have the opportunity to build a miniature wheel-hub motor themselves which they can take home as a souvenir.
Porsche 4Kids Guide
Modern channels are used in the museum to convey information about Porsche’s origins and its experience in vehicle construction. The Porsche Museum now has a new multimedia guide in which the previous audio clips have been expanded to include 5,000 pictures and 700 films of all exhibits. These can be accessed via a high-resolution touch display. As a result, Museum visitors can immerse themselves even more deeply in the history of Porsche.
The guide is available in several languages in adult and child versions.
