Children’s Activities In Berlin

People of all ages are catered for in Berlin, and children are no exception. Berlin Tourismus Marketing GmbH can offer details of special children’s discounts for many different activities. The Zoologischer Garten is very popular, with its extensive parkland and many animal enclosures. Small children will love the Kindergartener Görlitzer Bauernhof, which has a collection of domestic animals. In addition, Berlin’s museums are well set up for children.

The Deutsches Technikmuseum allows children to take part in all kinds of experiments, while the Ethnologisches Museum prepares special exhibitions for children. A visit to the Museumsdorf Düppel is an excellent way to show a child life in a medieval village and the Puppentheatermuseum offers a chance for children to take part in minor performances.

Another option is one of the city’s many lively circuses, such as Circus Cabuwazi, or, if it is sport that your child enjoys, it is possible to swim in many rivers, lakes and, of course, swimming pools (the Berliner Bäderbetriebe hotline offers useful information). Also, each district has its own iceskating rink, but the Eisstadion Berlin Wilmersdorf is by far the best, whilst FEZ Wuhlheide offers a special daily programme for kids.

The Story of Berlin is a fun way to experience the history of Berlin in a multimedia exhibit, and the Berliner Gruselkabinett (Room of Fear) is suitably scary. The Zeiss-Planetarium or the Planetarium am Insulaner offer kids the opportunity to explore the universe in a fun, yet educational, way.
