What makes it 71% Kids-Friendly: Children enter free and monthly Family Sunday tours, workshops, and birthday packages keep 3-12 year olds engaged, but galleries ask for calm behavior and little hands-on play, lowering the score.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Enough time to explore three gallery levels, join a family tour, and take breaks at the terrace without rushing kids.
Join a Family Sunday tour:
Guided 50-minute tour on the last Sunday of each month for ages 3+.
Tip: Register by phone in advance to secure your spot; meet at the reception desk by 9:50 am.
Explore the sculpture terrace:
Outdoor artworks and panoramic views of Salzburg from level 2.
Tip: Let kids spot their favorite sculpture and point out landmarks like the fortress.
Use the MuseumStars app:
Free audio guide with child-friendly commentary and map of outdoor art.
Tip: Download before arrival and bring headphones so each child can listen.
Snack at Café m32:
Panoramic café on gallery level 2 serving cakes and light meals.
Tip: Order an “Art & Café Package” for adults (€18.50) and share a hot chocolate (€4) with the kids.

Interesting architecture and inspiring exhibitions. Great view from the terrace to the city. The bar/restaurant decoration is also special.

I climbed the steps to land on top of the hill, behind the Museum of Modern Art. The cafe has patio seating. To the side is a viewing platform where folk take city view photos.

June–August: let kids run between sculptures on the sunny terrace. November–February: visit after 11 am when interiors warm up and mornings are quieter.
