On a visit to the iceman

Visiting Ötzi in Bozen with the whole family

Since 1998 there is an Archeology Museum in Bozen, South Tyrol’s capital. It documents the history of South Tyrol from the Old and Middle Stone Age (15,000 BC.) to the time of the Carolingian around 800 BC, but the main attraction is undoubtedly the Iceman, the oldest South Tyrolean, the iceman.

Especially for families, the museum offers a family-card. For the special price of € 16,00 families can visit the whole museum and in July and August they can use the family-room for free.

What children especially like are not the guided visits in the museum, but the special children's offerings. Under supervision and with the help of trained personnel they learn to build arrows, the make pearls of glass, spin wool or stay up long during the long night of the museums.

Keen on a special birthday? In the archaeology museum in Bolzano children from 8 to 11 years can celebrate their birthday. 10 children may be invited and together they moved to an adventurous journey back in time.
