At the ZOOM Kindermuseum, children use all their senses to explore the world. As the mood takes them, they can ask questions, touch, investigate, sense, and play. Objects can be handled and tried out, with active participation leading to active understanding. Play is writ large at the ZOOM Kindermuseum and turns learning into an individual and creative process. In the exhibitions and workshops, children collect sense perceptions and emotional experiences in a playful way. The ZOOM Kindermuseum offers four different areas spread over 1,600m²: ZOOM Exhibition, ZOOM Studio, ZOOM Animated Film Studio, and ZOOM Ocean.

The ZOOM Exhibition takes big ideas from science, art, everyday culture, and architecture and makes them comprehensible and tangible to children aged 6 to 12. In the ZOOM Studio, children aged 3 to 12 are joined by artists to explore artistic techniques through play. There is painting, cutting out, building, spraying, felting, pasting, sticking, modeling, and much more. In the ZOOM Animated Film Studio, a multimedia lab, children and young people aged 8 to 14 take on the roles of script writer, director, camera operator, photographer, and sound technician, while the ZOOM Ocean, a permanent feature of the ZOOM Kindermuseum, offers a diverse space for play and adventure for children aged 8 months to 6 years.
