After touring the old Heineken brewery and getting some lunch nearby, I saw this place and stopped…read morein to look for a pink bunny costume that would fit me (about 191 cm). My hopes were not high because I had been to three or four costume stores in Germany, none of which even had bunny costumes for men. Well, Witbaard had *exactly* what I was looking for - and I cannot wait to dress up for Karneval season in Köln! This place is simply an awesome store for costumes and props. They have outfits ranging from various colors of Lederhosen to pirates to fairies. They also have party supplies such as garlands, confetti, streamers, and even national, city, and gay pride flags, too.

I've been back twice already and I keep finding new treasures.

The costume selection for toddlers to 10 year olds (more or less) is FABULOUS. Face painting and baking supplies, puzzles, children's party supplies, gifts... their offerings make me happy dance.

I immediately apologized for my inability to understand Dutch, but she continued to chastise me. Oof!

In addition to the above they will also create stationary (e.g., for parties and weddings) and name plates.

Looking through past reviews, it's clear why this spot has such a strong local reputation. Customers consistently rave about the customer service, the incredible variety of colors and arrangements, and how long the balloons actually stay inflated compared to standard shop options. My experience dropping in completely matched that feedback. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and helpful in answering all my questions about setup and options for an upcoming birthday celebration.
