Here’s how the birthday party works
One hour of samurai fun.
A day to remember forever.
From the moment the group arrives right through to the treasure chest at the end, the birthday party group can look forward to a carefully planned programme that keeps the children entertained in a playful way, whilst allowing parents to relax and enjoy the exhibition.
Kitsune the Fox
Kitsune, the fox from Japanese mythology, is waiting at the entrance. He accompanies the group through the entire exhibition at the Samurai Museum Berlin – the samurai are already waiting in the interactive exhibition.
Puzzle rally through the exhibition
For an hour, the group races through the museum. From over 500 puzzle questions, we put together a curated selection that is perfectly suited to the age group of the birthday party: not too difficult, not too trivial. The children move around, chat with one another and stand in front of real samurai helmets, armour and swords.
The Treasure Chest and the Plush Fox
At the end of the puzzle rally, the treasure chest awaits. Exactly what’s inside remains a surprise. But one thing is certain: every child will take home a souvenir. The birthday child will also receive a soft toy kitsune – the fox from the entrance – to take home.
