Located in the historic village center of Alt-Marzahn, right next to the post mill, you'll find Berlin's most authentic children's farm. Tierhof Marzahn is a over 300-year-old, listed three-sided farm where agriculture is still practiced as it was at the beginning of the 20th century.
Huckleberry's Tour is considered the classic among raft rentals and starts directly in Köpenick on the Spree, among other locations. The boat rental offers rustic log cabin rafts for day and multi-day tours on the Havel, Spree, and countless Brandenburg lakes.
Located on former railway grounds between Kreuzberg and Schöneberg, one of Berlin's most visited parks has existed since 2013. Rusty track remnants, buffer stops, and birch groves characterize the East Park, while beach volleyball courts are found under the U-Bahn viaducts in the West Park. Among Berlin's parks, Park am Gleisdreieck is the most awarded.
In Wedding, near Humboldthain, more than just vegetables grow on 1,400 square meters: himmelbeet is Berlin's most renowned intercultural community garden, where neighbors sow, harvest, and celebrate together. Old varieties, fresh ideas, and a garden café with stone oven pizza make this place the heart of the neighborhood.
In Charlottenburg's Klausenerplatz quarter, where one would typically expect Wilhelminian-era buildings and coffee houses, a real children's farm is hidden on Danckelmannstraße. The Charlottenburg Goat Farm is the result of civic engagement: residents saved a derelict plot from new development and transformed it into a green community oasis with animals, learning gardens, and a playground.
Raft rental with soul: In Woltersdorf on Lake Flakensee, directly on the city limits of Berlin, Flossleben rents out spacious, comfortably furnished rafts for day and multi-day tours through the Berlin-Brandenburg water network. Those who set off here exchange the big city noise for the Dahme, Spree and 1000 lakes.
Görlitzer Park, known to all as Görli, covers 14 hectares of former railway land in Kreuzberg SO 36. A children's farm, pirate playground, sledding hill, and the free sports program SpOrt365 share the area with the fence that the city has been disputing for years. No other park in Berlin is as much a living space and a subject of discussion at the same time.
Located on Pichelssee in Spandau, Marina Base is Berlin's hub for raft and boat tours on the Havel, offering options for small groups as well as parties of up to 30 people. If you want to experience Berlin from the water, this is the place to be.
The Botanical Garden in Berlin-Dahlem shines with the splendid colours of fall. On a sunny autumn day, a walk in the outside area of the garden is amazing, save the tropical greenhouse for a rainy day.
On the edge of Fritz-Schloß-Park in Moabit, the Moabiter Kinderhof is full of life: rabbits, a herb spiral, a wood workshop, and a newly opened playhouse built with sustainable timber make this adventure playground the greenest meeting point in the neighborhood.
Those in Berlin without a garden who still want to garden can find an opportunity right on their doorstep: the tree pit. Berliners in districts like Mitte, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, or Treptow-Köpenick are transforming the small strips of earth around street trees into blooming miniature gardens - making a tangible contribution to more greenery in the neighborhood.
