Kindercafé Spielzimmer

Kindercafé Spielzimmer: Indoor Playground at Helmholtzplatz

The Kindercafé Spielzimmer is located on Schliemannstraße directly at Helmholtzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. It is deliberately kept small and sees itself as a quieter alternative to the large play halls on the outskirts of the city. The play area has only one open access point, so parents can see directly into it from many tables. Payment is not a flat rate for a whole day, but by the hour: one hour costs 2 Euros per child, accompanying adults pay nothing. This makes the Spielzimmer one of the most affordable places of its kind in Berlin. A note for planning: payment can only be made in cash; cards are not accepted.

Play Area, Toddler Zone, and Café at Spielzimmer

The play area spans multiple levels with passages, a climbing frame, a double slide, and a large ball pit. It is designed for children from about two to eight years old. For the youngest, there is a dedicated toddler area with age-appropriate toys, small climbing options, and a second ball pit, where even non-walking babies are well catered for. Additionally, there are Bobby Cars, dress-up clothes, and books. The café offers various breakfast options, fresh Belgian waffles for 4.50 Euros, pasta with tomato sauce, and a good selection of coffee specialties. Children’s birthday parties are booked as packages for up to ten children, each lasting three hours and including a decorated table, drinks, and cake. Shoes must be left outside, socks are mandatory, and strollers must remain outside the door.
