Inserted 11/14/17:
We had one more full day in Munich and decided not to go to the Oktoberfest tents right away so we headed for the Marienplatz (square) downtown. We meandered slowly and visited the actual Hofbrauhaus and saw the glockenspiel (a big clock tower that has dancing figurines).
To complete our night we decided to go the festival grounds one more time to actually walk around since there is so much going on besides the beer tents. (Germany clearly doesn’t have as many safety regulations as the U.S. based on the insane rides you can go on there. I’ve never seen so much spinning and that is exactly why we did not go on any rides.)
