Fairy Tale Forest at Paradeplatz

At the Mannheim Fairy Tale Forest on the Paradeplatz, the Christmas market becomes an experience for the whole family. Fairy tale characters, puppet shows, a train, and Santa Claus bring sparkling eyes and magical Christmas moments to children.

Right in the middle of Paradeplatz, a magical Christmas world for the whole family comes to life during Advent. The Mannheim Fairy Tale Forest invites children to dive into a world of imagination and meet well-known fairy tale characters in lovingly crafted huts.

Puppeteers and a small train running through the festively decorated Christmas village provide varied entertainment. A special highlight of the Advent market is the fairy tale theater, which takes place every Saturday from 4 p.m., charming visitors into the Christmas spirit with lovingly staged stories, fantasy, and lots of fun.

Sundays also offer a special reason to marvel at the Christmas market: in the afternoon, Santa Claus himself visits, bringing his reindeer along. This makes a trip to the Mannheim Fairy Tale Forest a unique Christmas experience for little fairy tale fans and the whole family.
