Experience Berlin with kids

 

A city trip with children – is it worth it? Definitely in Berlin! There is so much to discover and experience in the beautiful German capital and there are numerous great offers for children and families. As the variety in Berlin is really huge, we have put together some recommendations for you. Discover with us what you can experience in Berlin with your children – from museums and animal fun to adventures in the fresh air.

 


Polar bears, lions & co. – off to the zoo or animal park

Animal-friendly – in Berlin, you and your kids have the opportunity to admire lots of animals big and small up close. You will find the famous zoo very close to Louisa’s Place. This is not only the oldest zoo in Germany, but also the most species-rich in the world. Zoo Berlin is home to over 20,000 animals from all over the world. It also offers great experiences for children with a petting zoo and great playgrounds.

Address: Hardenbergplatz 8, 10787 Berlin

In addition to the zoo, Berlin also has an animal park in the east of the city. With its extensive enclosures, it is the largest landscape zoo in Europe and offers animals from all over the world a home in Berlin.

Address: Am Tierpark 125, 10319 Berlin

Hands-on & participation allowed – Museum of Technology & Spektrum

The German Museum of Technology is an absolute highlight for families. Here, children (and their parents) can experience technology up close. Interactive exhibitions await you in the museum and in the Science Center Spektrum, which is part of the museum, you can carry out numerous experiments yourself and experience hands-on science. A visit to the Museum of Technology promises educational entertainment for the whole family.

Address: Trebbiner Straße 9, 10963 Berlin


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.

Address: Straße zum FEZ 2, 12459 Berlin


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. One of the most beautiful parks, which is ideal for a Berlin vacation with children, is the Britzer Garten. 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.

Address: Sangerhauser Weg 1, 12349 Berlin


Great fun at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center

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. Interactive rides, creative building workshops and impressive miniature worlds offer boundless fun and encourage your children’s creativity at the same time. LEGOLAND is the perfect destination for a rainy day and, of course, for all Lego fans.

Address: Potsdamer Straße 4, 10785 Berlin

Change of perspective – Berlin from the water

How about a little change of perspective? Berlin is also wonderful to explore from the water. Be it on a steamboat trip across the Wannsee, a boat tour along the Spree or a trip on a canoe or pedal boat – Berlin’s waterways invite you to go on fun exploratory tours.

Berlin with children? Definitely! As you can see, Berlin is perfect for a family vacation. There’s always something going on here and lots on offer for children and families!
