Activities
Some activities require registration (below you can find a list), while others are walk-in events that don’t need a registration (e.g., bounce houses, playgrounds or our toddler area). You can register for up to two activities in advance, or just sign up when you arrive. First come, first served ;-)
You and your family members can all pick different activities. Just take into account the minimum age, the various starting hours and keep in mind that some take place a 10+ minutes’ walk away from the event zone. We’ve included these longer distances in the activity descriptions.
Activities throughout the domain (registration required)
