Children's play area at Karstadt Oberpollinger

I've just picked up a Munich shopping guide at the airport. The guide is dated 1/2007. Basically it's full of paid advertisements from stores in the Munich area. There is a large section advertising Karstadt Oberpollinger, pages 10 -17. On page 11 it states "A toy paradise for children occupies little ones with supervised play while their parents can go shopping feeling relaxed"

I went to the Karstadt with my two little ones Wednesday. I've only been in Munich a month but I believe the toy salesperson I talked to said they no longer had the play area. Does anyone know if that's the case?

Are there any places located near the "Stachus / Marienplatz" area in which one could leave their children while they shopped. I don't mind hiring a sitter; I just need to plan ahead.

Thanks.

There's apparently a place at the Rathaus on Marienplatz. See the related topic: Children's creches in the city center.

There is a possibility to leave the children at the Schrannenhalle on Viktualienmarkt (near Marienplatz) while you are shopping. This is for children aged 4 months - 8 years. Costs 6 Eur/hour for the first child, 5 Eur for any brothers/sisters. Full details including opening times and phone numbers can be found on the Schrannenhalle website.

I believe that the Münchner Kindl referred to in the post above no longer exists, or at least no longer offers this service.

That is fanastic to know about! Many thanks for posting that.

Thanks for the replies.
