Swap your keyboard and mouse for carving tools, everyday shoes for hiking boots and experience a varied day outside your usual environment together with your team, your club colleagues or your family.
Get a taste of the Ballenberg atmosphere on one of our general guided tours, deepen your knowledge on a themed tour or get involved in a workshop – the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum is perfect for group trips.
And of course, there’s no shortage of tasty treats to try here at Ballenberg: the Ballenberg eateries team is ready to rustle up a tempting range of delicious apéritifs, regional specialities and hearty meals. Our hosts Judith Scherrer and Jörg Gehri, along with their team, are also available outside the museum’s opening hours for catering services and events in the unique Ballenberg atmosphere.
Would you like to celebrate with your company or your family at Ballenberg? We will be happy to help you organise your event at the Open-Air Museum. Our reservations department will be happy to put together a tailor-made offer for you.
Groups of 10 people or more benefit from a reduced admission price. Of course, you are also free to explore the open-air museum together on your own – booking in advance helps save time at the ticket desk.
For groups of ten people or more, professional drivers and tour guides get free entry to the museum. Vouchers for lunch at one of our restaurants (main course and non-alcoholic 500 ml drink) are also available at the entrance.
Our carriages can transport up to 22 people. We recommend a reservation for groups.
Flat rate per carriage (excluding entry)
The Ballenberg Open-Air Museum also has special offers for tour operators. If you are interested, please contact our sales department here: sabrina.pilss@ballenberg.ch. We’d be happy to talk to you personally about our wide range of group options at the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum.
