Pedal boating – Rent pedal boats "Ruderboot"on the Kienhasseloher See, the big
artificial lake. On a warm summer afternoon, it's quite relaxing to sit
back under a shady awning and let the kids pedal around the lake (don't
run over the swans and ducks). |

Chinese Tower Biergarten (Chinesicher Turm) –
Biergartens aren't bars, they're more like open-air cafes and definitely
a family affair: probably the best spot to catch Bavarian gemütlichkeit
(friendliness). Being in a biergarten is almost like being at a big party:
you may find a friendly arm dragging you into a group song, or see your
kids being fussed over like instant relatives. |

Biergartens are a great place to sample archetypical Bavarian
dishes such as bratwurst (sausage), spätzle (noodles), and apfelstrudel
(apple pastry). |

In summer at the Chinese Tower, there are open air oompah
concerts – the band is situated on the upper levels of the pagoda.
You can join all the other families, listening to the music. |

Picnic in the park – The English
Garden is the perfect place to have a picnic. Grab sandwiches or sausages
from the delis nearby, or there are also snack bars in the park. Spread
out your picnic or, like local Munich families, bring along cake, juices
and coffee ("kaffee and kuchen") for an afternoon snack. |

Go for a bike ride – If you've rented bikes at the train station, it's just a short distance
to the park. Miles of bike paths to explore. |

Horse carriage ride –
Sit back and relax while you clip-clop around the English Garden. You can
find the carriages at the Chinese Tower, from noon. |
