Are you looking for a fun place to play? Whether you have kids, love to take cool selfies, or are just trying to enjoy your weekend, head over to the Balloon Museum in. It’s a blast.
Here we were having a great getaway weekend in Düsseldorf, and along with eating some fantastic Japanese food and drinking some alt bier, we wanted to do something silly, something really just fun.
We’ve done so many “museums” like the Balloon Museum, such as the Ice Cream Museum in Singapore and Team Planets in Tokyo, that we knew we were going to love it. Spoiler Alert: We did!
What is the Balloon Museum
I always laugh at the word “museum” in these type of themed interactive places. In my mind, a museum is all about preserving and understanding the past. The Balloon Museum is all about enjoying the present. I’m okay with it!
Check out our podcast on Düsseldorf!
A huge warehouse-type space, the museum is a celebration of balloons. Who doesn’t love a balloon. We use balloons to honor special events like birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. You buy your kids balloons at festivals. They are always associated with fun.
What the Balloon Museum does is celebrate the balloon. There are big ones to push around, lots of them flying through the air, life-sized dioramas to take photos in, digital games, videos, and so much more.
They take playing with a balloon to a whole new level.

We absolutely loved it! If you have kids, or are a kid at heart, go! I must have taken 50 short videos and hundreds of photos. I’m not kidding. Everywhere you look it’s just fun! It’s a selfie heaven!
