The 10 best winter holiday activities for children in Berlin 2026
The 2026 winter holidays may be short, but they are just long enough to experience a great deal in Berlin. When everything is grey outside, museums and leisure venues turn the city into a colourful holiday adventure. At the FEZ in the Wuhlheide, the magic castle becomes a magical experience; at the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Kreuzberg there is a holiday programme all about technology; and the Ökowerk in the Grunewald sends children off on a winter forest journey of discovery. If you'd rather get creative, you can paint ceramics at Colour Your Day, sew at Berliner Schnitte or let off steam at the circus workshop at CABUWAZI. Whether a supervised workshop, a holiday programme or a family outing, boredom doesn't stand a chance here. How would you most like to fill the winter holidays?

I wish you exciting, creative and thoroughly lovely holiday days with your little ones!
