Red strawberries, tractor ride, and over 60 attractions: Karls Adventure Village in Elstal near Wustermark, directly in Havelland, is probably the most famous family excursion destination in the Berlin 'Speckgürtel' (commuter belt).

In Münchehofe, Brandenburg, in the heart of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park, an organic dairy literally shows how milk, butter, and cheese are made.

Zoo, amusement park, and dinosaur park all in one: The Eicholz Animal and Leisure Park in the Germendorf district near Oranienburg is one of Brandenburg's most versatile family excursion destinations. On nearly 70 hectares of lake landscape, zebras and flamingos encounter life-sized prehistoric giants, while children can choose between a petting zoo, rides, and a swimming lake.

Only about 40 minutes southwest of Berlin, near Beelitz, lies a farm that guides families through all four seasons: fresh Beelitz asparagus in spring, pick-your-own in summer, Brandenburg's largest pumpkin exhibition in autumn, and winter magic with a toboggan run. The Klaistow Asparagus and Adventure Farm turns a simple trip to Brandenburg into a full day's program.

During the Easter holidays 2024, Tierpark Berlin once again offers a colorful holiday program for children aged 8-12.
