Visit the BMW Museum - Near to the Olympic Park is the BMW Museum on Petuelring, Even if you-re not a car-nut yourself (like the guys in our family), the museum is an art form, chock full of BMWs, motorcycles, racing cars, sport cars, concept and art cars.
After visiting the BMW Museum, go across the way to BMW Welt. On the second floor (next to the restaurant), kids can climb on BMW motorcycles, and pretend they're taking to the road.
