Leisure and action
What to do when it rains?
The most reliable indoor address is PriWilly Cosmos on the Priwall (under this name since 1 April 2026, formerly BayCenter) – indoor adventure playground, blacklight mini golf and a laser maze under one roof. The Ostseestation by the Trave and the Seebadmuseum are good for an hour in the dry; the four-masted barque Passat can be visited in showers too.

Frequently asked questions
What to do in Travemünde with children when it rains?
The PriWilly Cosmos indoor play hall on the Priwall, the Ostseestation by the Trave, the Seebadmuseum – and the Passat can be visited in rain as well. The ferry ride across the Trave is a small adventure in itself.

Is the climbing forest suitable for small children?
The climbing forest has courses at different heights; suitability depends on age and height – binding details are on the operator’s linked website.
Does the beach cost anything for families?
Travemünde charges a resort fee in season; current rates are listed on the official tourism site travemuende-tourismus.de.
Which day trips nearby are worth it with children?
