The Berlin Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold e.V. plays on Paradestraße in Tempelhof, on grounds that were created after the First World War during the development of Tempelhofer Feld. Nine clay courts are outdoors, four of which are under an air-supported hall in winter. Among the tennis courts in Berlin, this hall is one of the few that non-members can also book.
Karls Erlebnis-Dorf in Elstal is located half an hour west of Berlin and has no entrance fee. For rainy days, the free indoor areas are particularly important: the Play Barn with a ball pit and a giant slide with a timer, the Climbing Silo with eight floors, and Terminal E, where a real Antonov hangs from the ceiling and children can climb inside.
Sunday morning on Museum Island, with chamber music by the Staatskapelle Berlin: The museum concerts at the Bode Museum in Mitte combine a classical matinee with sculpture art and café culture to create one of the city's most atmospheric Sunday programs.
On 13,000 square meters of indoor space in Wuhlheide, FEZ-Berlin combines a swimming pool, a children's hands-on museum, a cinema, and the Astrid Lindgren Stage with three venues. In the orbitall space center, children aged eight and older train in a replica of the space station. For indoor sports when it rains, the swimming pool is the core of the facility.
On two floors on Rudolfstraße, there are 18 pool tables, three snooker tables, five dartboards, and three poker tables, separated into smoking and non-smoking areas. Billing is per minute per table, regardless of how many people are playing. Indoor sports in the rain are possible here without a closing time; the house never closes.
The Kindercafé Spielzimmer at Helmholtzplatz is the most affordable indoor playground in Prenzlauer Berg: one hour costs 2 Euros per child, accompanying adults pay nothing. The play area spans multiple levels with a climbing frame, double slide, and ball pit, plus there's a dedicated area for babies and toddlers.
Vux on Wipperstraße in Neukölln has been a purely vegan café with Brazilian roots since 2009. Cakes, cupcakes, and bagels come from their own bakery, along with açaí and passion fruit smoothies, bao buns, and gluten-free cakes. Perfect for a rainy autumn day in Berlin: hot coffee and cake just a few steps from the historic Richardplatz.
The Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm Centre is the central library of Humboldt University and one of Germany's largest open-access libraries. Max Dudler designed a terraced reading room for it, reaching up to the ceiling. Anyone aged 16 or over can register, free of charge. Among Berlin's winter leisure activities, this is the quietest.
Billard House Friedrichshain features eighteen pool and three snooker tables spread across two floors, plus five dartboards, just a few steps from Warschauer Straße station. Billing is per table and accurate to the minute, not per person. For a team event in Berlin, this means twenty people can spread out over five tables and still only pay for the tables.
Lasertag in a real World War bunker, right in the heart of Kreuzberg: Underground Lasergame Berlin sends you 1,300 square meters underground. Those who play lasertag here get metal weapons, helmets, and darkness instead of colorful plastic and disco lights.
The magic of the Orient resonates in Charme-d-Orient in Berlin Buckow like in a thousand and one nights, with fairytale decor, natural healing methods, and beauty treatments for a relaxing wellness day of a different kind.
