School Kids

On Karl-Marx-Strasse in Neukoelln some two and a half thousand square metres hold two separate laser tag arenas, one of them reserved for children up to twelve, along with an eleven lane blacklight mini golf course, three escape rooms and an arcade corner. A birthday brings a reserved table, a drink per child and a golden player card.

Right at Hellersdorf underground station lies a climbing arena of four hundred and fifty square metres with thirty routes, a blacklight section and a speed wall, secured by an automatic system that needs nobody holding the rope. Tree houses are set aside for parties, and the packages are flat rates for up to six climbers.

On the second floor by the Borsigturm in Tegel lies a seven hundred square metre VR park with two arenas in which the children move around freely and without cables. The birthday packages are flat rates for up to six children and include a lounge area of their own, a host, decorations and food, running from two to three hours.

At the FEZ in the Wuhlheide birthday groups shoot a film of their own: frame by frame in the animation studio with figures from the props store, or in the green box in front of a green wall with costumes and props. A GPS treasure hunt with puzzles through the woods of the Wuhlheide and a whole cinema hall with a film of the groups choosing come on top.

BergWerk.Berlin occupies the halls of a former multiplex cinema inside the Helle Mitte shopping centre and calls itself the largest indoor climbing park in Europe. Fourteen courses run from the mini section up to 25 metres below the roof, and a 40-metre speed zip line crosses the shopping arcade. For climbing in Berlin in any weather, this is the biggest address.

In the cooking studio on Schlangenbader Strasse birthday groups from six years cook a menu of their own: paint a chefs hat, put an apron on, and then chop, stir and plate up under guidance. Afterwards the indoor playground in the same house is waiting, and at the end every child takes the hat, a recipe book and a diploma home.

Four hours, divided into a street art tour, preparing the wall, and two hours with the spray can: At mygraffitiworkshop, school classes first design their motif on paper and then spray their school name or class motto onto a real wall. Guidance is provided by Berlin writers. For a school trip to Berlin, this is the activity with the greatest creative component.

On the trotting track in Karlshorst, opened in 1894 and with a twelve hundred metre course, children celebrate for three and a half hours between stable and race track: cake and cocoa first, then stroking and feeding the horses, one led ride each and games in the straw, and at the end a buffet laid out just for the children.

The Theater an der Parkaue in Lichtenberg is one of the largest state theaters for young audiences in Germany, operating three stages and two studios in a listed former secondary school. The program starts with children aged three and up, complemented by clubs, workshops, and its own children's advisory board.

In the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz an indoor world of Lego bricks spreads over several levels, from Ninjago City and the dino explorer to the Miniland where Berlin stands in miniature. A birthday party brings a birthday room of its own for two hours, a private building workshop with a model to take home and pizza for every guest.

In the Drivers Hall on the grounds of the Motorworld Manufaktur in Spandau stand ten racing simulators, eight of them on moving platforms, plus an eighteen metre Carrera track and Mario Kart on the big screen. The birthday packages run over two or three hours and include pizza, drinks and a prize ceremony for the whole group.

Between Hackescher Markt and Oranienburger Strasse, Art Nouveau courtyards from 1905, the New Synagogue from 1866, the Old Jewish Cemetery, and the Otto Weidt Workshop for the Blind Museum are located within a few hundred meters, with 'Stolpersteine' (stumbling blocks) everywhere. A school trip in Berlin can fill a morning here without a single ticket.

In the New Wing of Schloss Charlottenburg the birthday guests turn into a royal court: the children put historical costumes on over their clothes, go on a tour about Frederick the Great and dance a minuet to music of the eighteenth century at the end. The programme runs two and a half hours for up to eight children and two adult companions.

Europe's largest indoor climbing park is located in five halls of a former cinema in Hellersdorf: fourteen courses between three and twenty meters high, a 40-meter zip line, and a 12-meter free fall. Children can climb from 1.10 meters tall, the youngest from 3 years old. As an indoor activity for children in Berlin, this is the most athletic option.

Atze Music Theatre in Wedding is Germany's largest music theatre for children, operating three stages: a hall with 480 seats, a studio stage, and a semicircular tent stage for the youngest from three years old. The house's hallmark is the Singspiel (musical play). The theatre is located directly at the exit of the Amrumer Straße subway station.

On Bleibtreustrasse in Charlottenburg every child picks out a ceramic blank of their own, paints it at a decorated birthday table and collects it again once it has been fired. The party package holds the blank itself, a short painting briefing, invitation cards in two designs, a drink per child and a present for the birthday child.

Theater Morgenstern is one of Berlin's children's theaters that has been playing in the same venue for years: in the listed Schlesiensaal of Friedenau Town Hall with up to 200 seats. The ensemble accompanies its productions live with a cello and presents plays for children aged three and up. "Wünsche" is nominated for the IKARUS Award 2026.

At the Camel Farm in Nassenheide, in the Löwenberger Land, you can ride a camel across meadows and pastures, accompanied by an experienced camel guide. This small farm operates by appointment only and with very small groups; no riding experience is necessary.

The Märkisches Viertel Youth Traffic School no longer offers children's birthday parties, but remains open as a traffic school.

A children's birthday party at the KLAX Creative Workshop for children guarantees a good mood, because here you can do pottery, build, paint, or delve into technical questions, depending on your interests!

Children can sew and design a beautiful pillow, their own T-shirt, a pretty dress, a personalized bag, and much more at the Fashion School for Kids in Charlottenburg.
