18 Enjoy Overnight Excursion To Munich
December 4, 2023
November 25th and 26th, 18 students spent around 24 hours sightseeing and enjoying the Bavarian capital of Munich. This was the second weekend overnight trip scheduled this school year.
After checking in at the hotel Saturday at noon, students had 2 and a half hours of free time to explore the Karlsplatz, the Christmas market, and have some lunch. In the late afternoon, most of the group enjoyed ice skating at the outdoor rink at the Karlsplatz. Their time ice skating looked like a winter wonderland as they skated under snowflakes and beautiful Christmas-themed lights.
“Despite the heavy snowfall and cold air, the students were having too good of a time to complain about being cold and many could’ve stayed out there longer if we hadn’t already made plans,” said excursion leader and organizer, RA Ali Welch.
MysteryRooms Munich welcomed the group with hot tea and treats as they waited in anticipation for the escape rooms to begin. Two groups successfully escaped the Captain’s Room, while the group in the Asylum Room didn’t make it out in the one-hour time slot. The staff at MysteryRooms Munich stayed open late just for our group, even offering hints for how to solve clues faster and providing a tour of their other rooms to some students.
On Sunday morning, the private tour of FC Bayern Munich arena was chilly but incredibly fascinating as the group had exclusive access to the press room, players’ locker room, and the players’ bench on the field! The tour ended in the FC Bayern Munich Museum, where students learned about the origins of the team, saw the many trophies won, learned about the current players for the 2023-2024 season, and even played some soccer themselves. The students left the stadium and Munich with some great souvenirs to share with family and friends, or to enjoy for themselves!
