Children want to experience things, even in dreary weather, and Berlin has plenty to offer for grey days. At the Zoo-Aquarium Berlin, popular children's tours whisk you away into the fascinating underwater world, at the Jump House in Reinickendorf the kids bounce on trampolines all year round, and at Dockx by the Tempelhofer Hafen a play area, blacklight mini golf and laser tag await under one roof. Climbing fans conquer the largest indoor high ropes course in Europe at BergWerk.Berlin in Hellersdorf, and the Archenhold Sternwarte in Alt-Treptow is home to the longest refracting telescope in the world. Whether a coding course, a museum or a look at the stars, there is an idea against boredom for every interest here. What will you try out next time it rains?
