Fun for young and old at FEZ Berlin
Another recommendation is located in the south-east of Berlin. The leisure and recreation center (FEZ) in the beautiful Wuhlheide has a lot to offer you and your children. A swimming lake, playgrounds, indoor pool, creative workshops, theater performances, children’s cinema and much more make a day at the FEZ a great experience. A visit is particularly worthwhile during the school vacations and at weekends, when various themed events take place. During the winter vacations, for example, the FEZ is transformed into a giant magic school – you definitely shouldn’t miss it.

Off into the green – a day in the Britzer Garten
Especially in the warmer months, Berlin’s parks and playgrounds beckon for adventures in the fresh air.

With extensive playgrounds, themed gardens and idyllic lakes, the garden invites you to take relaxing walks, have exciting fun and enjoy picnics. The annual flower and garden shows and the large water playground are special highlights for visitors of all ages.

It’s not just children’s eyes that light up here: at the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in the center of Berlin, children can immerse themselves in a colorful world of Lego bricks.
