Opening of the family paradise KAF im KARL” in Fulda!

On August 15, 2025, the Fulda Children's Academy (KAF) opened its doors to the new family offering “KAF im KARL” on the 3rd floor of the former Kaufhof. This unique concept is aimed at families with children aged two and over and offers a wealth of hands-on activities that appeal to all the senses. Mayor Dr. At the opening, Heiko Wingenfeld emphasized the importance of the project for families in the city center and emphasized the successful cooperation between the KAF, the city of Fulda, the urban development company and the fire department museum.

The themed stations where young and old can go on a discovery tour are particularly exciting. Whether it's about seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling or smelling - the sensory system is trained in a playful way. Attractions such as a black light mini golf course and a bobby car course where different vehicles can be tried out provide additional action. KAF managing director Silvia Brünnel emphasized how important it is for parents and children to experience these activities together.

Diverse offer for families

But that's not all: In addition to the exciting stations, there is also a cozy reading corner, creative art projects with themed bags and a small shop that is sure to provide you with one or two nice souvenirs. The opening hours are family-friendly: Tuesday to Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The entrance fee of just 2 euros per person makes it easy for families to venture out. Children under one year of age have free entry; there is only a rental fee for mini golf equipment.

For anyone looking for more information, the website is worth visiting www.kaf.de/kafimkarl, where the entire program and other KAF offerings are presented in detail.

What do the visitors say?

Of course, it remains to be hoped that the new facility will be popular and will attract families from the region and beyond. Events and special programs could also arouse the interest of visitors and further increase the attractiveness. It remains exciting to see how the “KAF im KARL” offer will develop and whether it will remain a long-running favorite in the Fulda family landscape.

In another area, the use of modern technologies for education and creativity could play an exciting role. The possibilities created by systems such as GPT-4o for editing and transforming images could also have applications in education. These technologies provide a user-friendly interface that allows users to be creative without having special design skills and could therefore also find application in the KAF.

The new opening in Fulda shows how important it is to create places where families can spend time together and learn through play. Let's stay tuned to see what other ideas and offers will follow in the future!
