The two weeks of the 2026 Easter holidays offer plenty of time to discover Berlin all over again and try out a new hobby. Even if you're not going away, you certainly won't be bored here. The Deutsches Technikmuseum in Kreuzberg invites you to a varied holiday programme; the MACHmit! Museum für Kinder in Prenzlauer Berg has the exhibition "Weißt du, wie der Hase läuft"; and the Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde awaits with a colourful programme for little animal lovers. Add to that a spring workshop at the Ökowerk, experiments at the Extavium and playful language courses at the Kindersprachclub. Whether an outing, a supervised workshop or an event for the whole family, there is something for every taste during the Easter holidays. Which Easter adventure is right at the top of your list?

The Easter holidays are, for me, the perfect chance to try out new things with the children and welcome the spring. For this list, I gathered the loveliest holiday tips for Berlin, from the technology museum to the spring workshop in the forest. I wish you relaxed, exciting and sunny Easter holidays with your little ones!
Those who want to spend the Easter holidays in Berlin with children without ending up on the couch are in the right place in Kreuzberg. During the holidays, the German Museum of Technology transforms into a place where enthusiasm for technology is not by chance but by design - from workshops and experiments to the extensive museum park.
The MACHmit! Museum for Children in Prenzlauer Berg is arguably Berlin's most active children's museum: instead of quiet observation, it's all about touching, climbing, printing, and exploring. In a converted church on Senefelder Straße, children aged two and up playfully learn what exhibitions alone could never achieve.
Europe's largest non-profit children's and family center is not located in Mitte, but in the green: In Treptow-Köpenick, nestled in the Volkspark Wuhlheide, FEZ-Berlin transforms every season into a new adventure for children and families - with crafting, theater, nature, and lots of participation.
Europe's largest landscape animal park is located in Lichtenberg and transforms into an animal adventure playground for children aged 7 to 12 during the Easter holidays. On 160 hectares around the historic Friedrichsfelde Palace, holiday children learn what it means to truly immerse themselves in the world of animals.
In Grunewald, by Teufelssee in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, the Ökowerk Berlin Nature Conservation Centre transforms the Easter holidays into a real spring adventure. Research, crafts, and nature discoveries for children aged 7 to 12, directly in Berlin's oldest waterworks.
In the southwest of Berlin, in the Dahlem district, lies an active organic farm that is also an open-air museum. Domäne Dahlem combines agriculture, animal husbandry, and cultural history on a historic manor – and offers a packed hands-on program for families and children during the Easter holidays.
In the Baruther Glashütte Museum Village, about an hour south of Berlin in the Teltow-Fläming district, centuries-old glassblowing craftsmanship and a lively Easter program come together. Where glass has been produced since 1716, the Easter holidays transform into a creative experience for the whole family.
Those who want to spend the Easter holidays with children without sacrificing a learning effect are in the right place at the Extavium in Potsdam. The hands-on museum by the canal transforms natural sciences into a tangible adventure, and during Easter, there's even a specially bookable slime experimentation course on top.
In Berlin-Mitte, directly at the Lustgarten on Museum Island, the Altes Museum invites visitors to a shadow play with the heroines and heroes of antiquity during the Easter holidays. Greek gods, Romans, and Etruscans are not only admired here but are actively brought to life by children and families.
At the Kindersprachclub in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, children and teenagers aged 5 to 16 learn foreign languages playfully during the Easter holidays. Native-speaking teachers, small groups, and a varied program make these holiday courses a real alternative to traditional school lessons.
