10 exciting things you can do with kids in Berlin

Berlin is not only exciting for party people and culture fans — there is also a lot of action in it for families. With one of our central holiday apartments in Berlin, you have the perfect base from which to explore the capital with the kids. And in the evening, you can come home and relax with a Netflix series or a game night (we love games ourselves, which is why we always have games in our apartments).

Here are 10 tips for children and families that are guaranteed not to be boring.

1. Berlin Zoological Garden

Watch pandas, marvel at elephants and stroll through a huge aquarium — Berlin Zoo is a classic for families with children.

2nd Museum of Natural History

Attention dinosaur fans: This is the biggest dinosaur skeleton in the world. Plus lots of cool exhibitions about animals, stones and the universe — perfect for kids who are curious.

3. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre

Pure indoor adventure: rides, 4D cinema and a fat Lego world in the middle of the Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz. Ideal for families and rainy days in Berlin.

4. Labyrinth Children's Museum

The rule here is: Participate instead of just watching! Children can build, experiment, climb — a real highlight for families who want to discover Berlin through play.

5th Tempelhofer Feld

A former airport as a playground: fly kites, go rollerblading or simply jet freely across the huge area. Families love freedom in the middle of Berlin. There is a great kite festival here in autumn.

6. Jump House Berlin

Endless trampolines — plus action zones for climbing and frolicking. Here, children burn a lot of energy while parents can relax.

7. Harry Potter playground in Volkspark Friedrichshain

A real secret tip for families with Harry Potter fans: The playground in Volkspark Wilmersdorf is inspired by Hogwarts & Co. Here, children can play magically while parents enjoy fresh air and nature.

8. Get involved! museum

Let off steam creatively in Prenzlauer Berg: tinkering, climbing, trying out. Perfect for kids — and super charming for family trips in Berlin.

9. Strandbad Wannsee

Summer in Berlin? Then off to Wannsee! A gently sloping sandy beach, plenty of space to play and a relaxed holiday atmosphere — perfect for children and parents. Other nearby lakes that we recommend include Plötzensee, Kaulsdorfer Seen or Krumme Lanke.

10. Karls Erdbeerhof

Just outside: strawberry waffles, playgrounds, small rides — and all just outside Berlin. Families and children will find country vibes, action and delicious snacks here.
