Do you ever find yourself engrossed in frivolous books or happily watching cartoons? Do you ever long to visit a water park or ride a carousel? Perhaps you sometimes feel much younger than you actually are? During the tour, we will discuss why adults are drawn to these kinds of pastimes, and how we can nurture our inner child. Through play and reading book excerpts, we will look at what it actually means to grow up, how play and leisure change as the years go by—and whether we really need to give up everything that is “just for kids”.
Visitors are kindly asked to remove their shoes and wear socks when visiting the Playground.
