Is there a day travel card for group of 5 in Nürnberg? One for just Nürnberg as there is in Munich?
I have not been able to find anything on this. I know the Bayern ticket will be useful to get from Munich to Nürnberg and we could use it all day there, but the travel time is longer. If we wanted to get there faster, then I don't believe our ticket is for the entire day, is it? We would then have to get some sort of day pass to travel around Nürnberg?
Yes there is. See https://www.vgn.de/en/ for more information.
No, the Bayern Ticket is good until, I believe, 3 am the next day. Next day you can get VGN ticket for the appropriate district.
If we wanted to get there faster, then I don't believe our ticket is
for the entire day, is it?
Day passes like the Bayern Ticket are not valid for long-distance, high-speed trains (like the IC, ICE and EC trains) which would shorten the travel time between Munich and Nuremberg.
These faster trains require the purchase of tickets (tickets that get you to Nuremberg, but not all around Nuremberg at will on public transport.) Saver fares bought in advance might be a good option if you can keep a schedule. Got kids? Kids travel free with parents on these. See the details. Then get the VGN pass(es) for getting around Nuremberg (if you need them.)
The Bayern ticket will get you to Nuremberg (and back) on the more time-consuming regional trains on weekdays only after 9 am. So it's better to use this day pass on a Saturday or Sunday, when there is no restriction on leaving earlier, and you can squeeze more time into your day. (And no, you won't need the VGN ticket if you have the Bayern ticket.)
Hallo!
We used the Bayern ticket to travel to Nürnberg and it worked well. Took 1:45 to get here. But I don’t see a day ticket for tomorrow. I went to the VGN site, and since there are any kids in our group, seems that the up to six people won’t work for us. We have one full Dav tomorrow. Any suggestions?
I think this is the one you need for VGN area:

Yes, but the TagesticketPlus is a family ticket that covers free transport for two adults and up to 4 children. So what the OP's group needs is 2 Tagesticket+ and one Tagesticket Solo. Assuming they are not leaving the city that would be tickets of category A, valid within Nürnberg, Fürth and Stein (€12.30 for the "Plus" and €8.30 for the "Solo" type).
Ah, yes. Thanks sla for catching that. Yes with a large group of adults your suggestion is best.

We don't know, but if the group is 2 adults and 3 kids then one Tagesticket+ would do the job, right?
Yes, and they could even borrow another kid from somebody else to make the most out of the ticket. ;)
