Oktoberfest fun for bargain hunters? We have tips on how to save money at the Oktoberfest - not only on Family Day.
Munich – It's no secret that Oktoberfest is expensive. Oktoberfest fun for bargain hunters? Hardly imaginable in view of most of the drinks, food and carousel prices at the Oktoberfest. On Family Day (on 19 and 26 September, until 19 p.m.), visitors can expect offers for rides, but there are also special promotions in many tents and stands. It's not just on Family Day that you can save. Even in normal operation, there are tips such as lunch menus and the Oide Wiesn.
Oktoberfest rides: discounts at carousel and ghost palace
Take off cheaply - it's possible on Family Day. In breakdancing, the carousel with wildly rotating gondolas, a ride costs only four euros instead of six.
In Lechner's Wellenflieger, a chain carousel, you can go for a spin for only three euros (instead of the regular four). If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, the Wild Mouse roller coaster is the right place for you: a ride costs five euros – instead of the usual eight – and four euros (instead of six) for children.
At the popular carousel Rund um den Tegernsee, you can enjoy relaxed riding fun for children on Family Day for two instead of four euros - and adults pay three instead of five euros.
Scary fun in the Ghost Palace is also available at a reduced price: Until 19 p.m., children under the age of 12 can be frightened at a reduced price of one euro (i.e. for five euros), the adults for seven euros.
Every day applies: At the Oide Wiesn you can save money if you want to ride the carousels. In the nostalgic rides, each ride costs only 1.50 euros. Before that, however, you have to pay four euros for admission to the Oide Wiesn (children up to 14 years pay nothing)

Here you can really save money in the Oktoberfest tents
In many Oktoberfest tents there are also special offers for children on Family Day. Some examples: For example, the Armbrustschützenzelt offers a children's menu until 17 p.m.: A few Viennese with fries and a soda (0.2 liters) are available for five euros. For all bargain hunters, there are also daily changing lunch dishes such as cabbage rolls or fried spleen sausage for 13.90 euros in the Armbrustschützenzelt from Monday to Thursday.
In the Schützenlisl, all children's meals cost two euros less on Family Day: A children's schnitzel, for example, is available for 7.80 instead of 9.80 euros. And the turkey wieners are even five euros cheaper (4.80 instead of 9.80 euros). A small water or an apple spritzer (0.2 liters) is available for two euros. Otherwise, the Schützenlisl offers lunch dishes on weekdays for 14.80 euros, from goulash from Bavarian beef with butter spaetzle to baked fish.
There is also a special children's menu at Schottenhamel on Family Day: children's cheese noodles, Kaiserschmarrn or schnitzel are available for 7.50 euros each (from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m.). Every Monday to Thursday (from 11 a.m. to 15 p.m.) there is also the Mittagsreindl with a quarter of chicken, roast pork and potato dumplings for 15.90 euros at Schottenhamel.
In the Hofbräu tent, the children's menu will be expanded to include some inexpensive dishes - for example, there is pasta with tomato sauce for five euros. Savers will also get their money's worth at the Hofbräu at lunch (weekdays from 11 a.m. to 15 p.m.) - changing dishes are available at a price of 13.50 euros.
Various lunch offers are also available in the other tents - in the Ochsenbraterei, for example, Pichelsteiner for 12.50 euros (during the week until 16 p.m.).
