MUC and things to do
 

Will have a 4-hour layover in MUC with my 3-year-old in May. Is this a large airport with amenities to keep his interest? Recommended eateries? Good viewing areas of planes taking off?

If this seems like a silly query, I'll make note that I'm a bit rusty with long-haul travel due to said 3-year-old.

in the central area of terminal 2 there is a terrace on the top floor (I guess it was 2 EUR / person) with great views of landing and starting aircrafts and the whole busy traffic on the airport.

Between T1 and T2, there´s a huge plaza with nice shops and family friendly restaurants and often there are activities lile beach-volleyball tournements, ...

Next to McDonnalds. there is also a child care center, where you can "park" your junior in a softplay playground with excellent babysitters and many other kids to play with.

Thank you for the response. The play area is great info to have and probably what we need to kill some of the 4-hour layover.

I'm going to ask the moderator why my post was moved to the Germany forum as I am specifically inquiring about Munich airport and not Germany.

If you search this forum for "MUC layover" you will find many other threads with suggestions on what to do during a layover in MUC.

You could go to the Besucherpark. There are multiple things going on there from time to time including a children's flea market.

Take a look at the MUC Homepage, maybe you find sth. interesting. There are several things recommended.
