Family Activities

Young visitors can have fun on the Vitra Campus too

Are you looking to explore the Vitra Campus, along with its architecture, art and culture, in a child-friendly manner? There are plenty of activities such as guided tours, workshops, family events and attractions such as the little elephant garden or the popular Slide Tower, which are specially designed for young visitors. The campus has something for all ages.

Workshops

Children are observant, creative, and imaginative. We make use of these qualities to explore, compare, and experiment with shapes, materials, and colors in a playful way. Topics of design and architecture are approached from a child-friendly perspective. In doing so, imagination is fostered, manual skills are developed, and the basic principles of construction and statics are introduced. We hold the power to improve and beautify our designed environment ourselves — this confident and responsible attitude can be ideally cultivated in design and architecture workshops.

Slide Tower

Reaching 30.7 metres in height, the Vitra Slide Tower is simultaneously a viewing platform, slide and work of art. It consists of three diagonal steel columns that meet at the top, with a large revolving clock measuring six metres in diameter mounted at their point of intersection. The tower construction is accessed by a switchback staircase with intermediate landings positioned between the slanted columns. A viewing platform at a height of 17 metres offers an impressive view of the Vitra Campus and its surroundings and is the starting point for the 38-metre-long corkscrew tube slide. We hope you have fun!
