The Countdown Has Begun!
For Children, For the Future
The Festival for Children of All Ages
Istanbul Children’s Festival is an experiential space where children can safely explore, play freely, create, learn, and express themselves. It brings families together and supports children’s creativity, self-confidence, and social development.
For us, the festival is not merely entertainment; it is a powerful urban experience that strengthens children’s connection with the world and gives families the opportunity to spend quality time together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What You Are Wondering About
Here you can find essential information about transportation, age groups, tickets, and the festival grounds before the festival.
Which age groups is the festival suitable for?
Istanbul Children's Festival has been designed with different content for children between the ages of 0 and 15. For ages 0–2, the program includes a first festival experience, stroller access, and comfortable movement; for ages 3–7, games, mascots, stage activities, and introductory workshops; for ages 8–11, sports, discovery, missions, and experience areas; and for ages 12–15, activities focused on stage programs, social content, and experiences with friends.
Do I need to buy a ticket for both the child and the adult?
Yes. Every visitor aged 3 and over entering the festival grounds must have a valid ticket. If one adult and one child are attending together, the “1 adult + 1 child” package can be purchased. For larger groups, an individual ticket or a family package for four people can be chosen. Children aged 0–2 enter free of charge; however, a free registration ticket must be obtained together with the accompanying adult's ticket.
Are tickets daily, and is there a two-day ticket option?
Separate daily tickets are available for Saturday and Sunday. Visitors who wish to attend both days of the festival can choose the combo ticket, which is valid for September 19–20. Before purchasing a ticket, the selected day and ticket type must be checked carefully.
Which events can I attend with a single ticket?
Your ticket grants access to the festival grounds for the selected day or within the scope of the combo ticket. Workshops, stage programs, sports, technology, games, and brand experiences are offered as part of the festival program. Some activities may have age, session, and capacity restrictions. Food and beverage purchases and services stated to require an additional fee are not included in the ticket price.
Can I re-enter the festival grounds during the day?
Visitors will be given a wristband for inspection upon first entry. Re-entry to the grounds during festival hours is planned, provided that the wristband is not damaged or removed.
Is there a fee to participate in the workshops?
Participation in the workshops and all activities within the festival is free of charge. Only food and beverages are subject to a fee.
