I loved this event and, never in my wildest imagination thought, I would. We were invited to go…read morehere to celebrate a birthday and, about 12 of us got together to visit the ball for the first time. The Kocherlball, a.k.a. the Cooks Ball, takes place every year on the third Sunday in July. The location is the Chinese Tower in the English Garden. This is a mix of carnival, party, and traditional costume ball. Over 10,000 usually attend for dancing, drinking, and celebrating. The party starts early though. 5am or even earlier! This is the tradition - the servants from times of old had to celebrate before being due in at work. If you want to come here and find a table, there is no chance if you come after 3-4am. We had some of our party arrive at 4:45am and the tables were gone by then. We were in the kids playground with rugs on the floor. Must plan early for next year and book tables ahead of time or something. It officially finishes at 10am and the biergarten continues for the rest of the day. Loads of people bring their own food and candles and get there really early. There is also the possibility of booking tables at the restaurant and have table service. There is tight security and all drinks bottles are confiscated at the entrance. It is a fabulous event with music, bier and loads of food. Get a Maß of helles or a schorle and join in the celebrations. There is a big dance floor and a live band to entertain you for a few hours. Most people were in traditional clothing and the atmosphere was amazing. Many of them dress up in traditional wear and ballroom outfits from the past and it looks fabulous. There is a sea of men and women in lederhosen and dirndl :-))) I am definitely coming back to this one again. Must plan an all nighter next time around ;-))) It felt more traditional than Oktoberfest for me and it was great fun.

Also there is a river of some sort here that all of the locals come to layout and put their feet in. Then I saw a couple floating no raft needed but wait it gets better at a point in the river there is a type dam that releases water at a fast pace and there are people lined up to reverse surf if that makes since I did it in the river on the Arkansas river on the gorge in Colorado surfing the river. Pretty co watching them. I digress so once I made it to the Chinese turn I believe it's called its great a big selection of German food and bier of course. Nice shade trees and great people watching. The brats and potatoes were phenomenal! This is what I wanted last night. You must stop by the English garden and check it out I mean really you are already in Munich go for it.

No cue , we could step into the gondola right away on a public holiday, the trip was 30 mins with an excellent view to all sides, although the alps were in a bit of a daze.

Prices: Family 2 adults 2 kids between 6-18 is 33€, a mother and daughter is 16,50, which is very reasonable if you have been primed like us on the London Eye. Absolut recommendation!
