The 10 best activities and excursions for children and families in Berlin
Strolling around town and shopping are often boring for children, yet Berlin has plenty of exciting destinations in store, you just have to know them. The FEZ in the Wuhlheide invites you to jump, hop and romp, the freshly renovated Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Prenzlauer Berg is considered the most modern science theatre in Europe, and at the 3D blacklight mini golf in Neukölln the whole family dives into a glowing world of colour. Active kids climb at the Berta Block bouldering hall in Pankow, nature lovers explore the Ökowerk in the Grunewald, and at the Stadtbad Lankwitz a 60-metre slide provides a refreshing thrill. Whether creative centre, library or race track, there is an excursion for every taste. Where will you head on your next free afternoon?

I put this list together so that there really is something for every mood, from wild and sporty to calm and creative. It was important to me that the destinations are spread right across the city map, so that every family finds something nearby. And because children love variety, nature experiences, science and lots of movement all mix together here.
