No real rides except a…read moreone minute seated trip through a tunnel of historical films made here, one gift shop and an abbreviated McDonald's menu. There is not much to see outside of the small film museum (Atelier) showing photos of past films and the stars that played in them. There is, however a life sized version of The Neverending Story's luck dragon, falkor , that you can pose with for photos. Sorry but this is just a place u go to to say "at least I saw Falkor" from my youth.

Built in 1755 and then rebuilt after a fire this is a gem of a theatre with beautiful ornamental…read morewalls, balconies and amazing huge crystal chandeliers throughout the building. Regal is the best way to describe it and when you get all dressed up you fit right in :-) Acoustics are great, the seats also well set so you can see the stage well and we loved our first experience here. Hard to believe we had not visited here before. A venue for opera, ballet, concerts and symphony they have a series of things on throughout the year. It is a historic opera house, home of the Bavarian State Opera, Bavarian State Orchestra and the Bavarian State Ballet. We went to see the performance of Ana Karenina by Tolstoy as a ballet performed by the Bavarian State Ballet and it was an amazing experience. Would come back here for more anytime. It's a beautiful theatre with such luxurious surroundings :-)

The crowd is both high-brow and deeply passionate (watch out when Edita Gruberova sings... these well-heeled Müncheners will scream like its a rock concert). While the productions follow the current European trends ("Regietheater" aka "Eurotrash"), the performers themselves span from veteran legends to the hot and up-and-coming. At the interval, don't miss the lovely buffet downstairs, and be sure to try the hedonistic "Rote Grütze" (red summer berries drenched in vanilla sauce). You certainly won't find that at the Met!

The circus has become a tradition for us on our annual holiday trip to Munich. We look forward to…read morethe show at Circus Krone on Christmas Day. It is a charming and affordable one-ring circus and the show is always entertaining. The acts are outstanding and the venue is the perfect size. There are not really any bad seats in the house. Arrive early and watch the charming pre-show horseback rides for the children and also the birthday honors bestowed upon anyone (no matter their age) celebrating their birthday. This year's show is dedicated to the late Cristel Zembach Krone. Although she is no longer with us, her beloved horses certainly are!
