Fun and adventure are guaranteed here. There are numerous family attractions to entice young and old with unforgettable experiences 365 days a year. And thanks to the excellent value for money (with the whole family in mind), the trip will be a pleasure for the parents too.
AquaDom & SEALIFE

Currywurst Museum
Near Checkpoint-Charlie there is a museum of a very unusual kind – the Currywurst Museum, dedicated to Berlin’s cult snack. An interactive discovery exhibition intended for the whole family offers – alongside a series of multimedia exhibits, a portable snack bar and spicing chamber – details specially prepared for children of how currywursts are made.

Natural History Museum (Museum für Naturkunde)
It’s not difficult to get children interested in a trip to Berlin’s Naturkundemuseum.

Go with your young researchers on an exciting journey of discovery by pressing buttons and flicking levers over during the numerous experiments.
