The Hirschgarten at a glance
The royal Hirschgarten in the west of the city is a popular destination in summer and winter. In ancient times the nobles went hunting here, today you can find these on the about 20 hectares large park area:
Munich's largest beer garden with about 8000 seats
Numerous playgrounds for children (including a water playground and an elephant slide)
A two-hectare game enclosure with fallow deer and moufflons
Walking trails, running tracks and a small skate park
Meadows and barbecue areas for relaxing in summer
Hills with sledding possibilities in winter 
It is worth visiting, and easy to reach via public transport: Every S-Bahn line from central station or Marienplatz will take you directly to the Hirschgarten station - and from there, you simply walk in.

Playgrounds: Hirschgarten with children
In addition to the large meadow areas and (toboggan) hills, it is above all the numerous playgrounds that make the Hirschgarten a popular destination for families. The little ones can have a good romp at the following playgrounds:
The elephant playground in the southern part offers a huge sandbox, several climbing frames and an elephant slide.
Also in the south of the park, the water playground with water slide provides cooling in the summer.
In the east of the park, a climbing tower with slide awaits you at the playground on Seidlhofstraße.
Near the allotment garden in the northern part, a climbing net challenges the little ones.
In addition, the Hirschgarten also has a small skate park.Feeding deer and roe deer
The two-hectare enclosure with fallow deer and mouflon is a highlight for young and old visitors to the park. You can also feed the deer; there are special signs on the fence telling you what the animals are allowed to eat and what not.
History
The Hirschgarten can look back on a long history: In the summer of 1780, Elector Carl Theodor had a fenced-off "animal garden" created on the grounds and stocked it with a good hundred fallow and noble deer.Only a few years later it was opened to the public and developed into one of the most popular excursion destinations for the people of Munich. There was also a forerunner of today's beer garden business: the so called Jägerhaus.Magdalenenfest: Folk festival in the Hirschgarten
Once a year, the "Magdalenenfest" provides a little folk festival and Oktoberfest feeling in the Hirschgarten. The traditional small folk festival offers a lot of fun and enjoyment for the whole family. Admission is free of charge.
