find out what really interests, if it could be big structures, find local constructing excellence/civil engineers, (they can get tours on local big building projects), 


have you been to sellafield, they had a good tour I went on when around 10 ish, 


a tour of waste facilities is particularly eye opening. can ask for a look round local ones. 


if you are a car person, there's also the factory tours that the german car companies do - bmw, audi, and i think mercedes do them. (stuttgart)

i've also been on tours of the jcb factory at uttoxiter, perhaps write a letter and see if they do open days. they have a big setup/operation for doing them. 

a well written, handwritten letter from the person to the boss of the organisation is likely to get a look round if you explain why it's of interest and that you'd like to come and see what they do.  


the bmw factory website looks pretty special. was trying to get a group of like minded blokes together. also zf's factory has a zepplin museum next door. 


tripadvisor list the tours on things to do in munich for more information. as said previously in the conversations, it is hard to get to know local attractions unless you have insider knowledge.


in the north east, where i live, we have taken our daughter to the ryhope engines museum (steaming & working at bank holidays), as kids we went to ironbridge, canals around birmingham, manchester industrial museum, birmingham museum (dinosoars), museums in london etc. best things though were to see and break things down to understand how they worked. that means having the relevant stuff to hand and an environement to play/put things together and re-assemble. 


in the mean time to play with and look at, 


remote control cars and drones, lego with motors and mechano, (apparently you can still get it). building a crane took days to do.  

also get a rasperry pi and speak to computer teachers about what do do with it. there are a number of books and online coding things happening and youtube videos about how to make playing with them cool.
