How to enjoy?<\/strong>
\neeny meeny miny mo isn\u2019t an enormous store, but if you want a relaxed visit, spending a few hours in a cafe or restaurant, we\u2019d recommend a lunchtime visit with some time for a cafe and browsing in the afternoon. In the summer you can stop by the beer garden in the evening.<\/p>\n

For Children:\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately this department store doesn\u2019t target children, so there\u2019s very little on offer for your child.<\/p>\n
