Each year, the Berlin Family Pass (Berliner Familien Pass) offers families a wide selection of discounts on activities across the city that you can enjoy with your children. The 2018 Berliner Familien Pass is no different. 

For those of you with children aged 6 years and over, who are looking for ways to keep your child(ren) entertained, here are a list of activities to keep school-age children busy in Berlin

We recently headed over to Wedding to check out a place I've been curious about for quite a while, the Labyrinth Kindermuseum! I squeezed in a few photos whilst there and thought I'd write a review...

Berlin is home to a number of family café which come in very handy for those with young children, looking for a way to keep them entertained on rainy and cold days in the city. They vary in size and equipment and all serve food to keep the mums and dads well fed whilst they watch the children play. A map featuring all the Berlin family cafes in this list can now be found on Google Maps here.

If you know of a cafe that isn't on this list or if one of these cafes closes, do get in touch and let me know. Family-friendly cafes and restaurants that aren't specifically Eltern-Kind-Cafés will be listed in a separate post...

Autumn/Fall and Winter needn't get you down, the colder months can have their bonuses and with them come Ice Skating season! There are lots of places offering ice skating in Berlin, including some of the Christmas Markets (which open in November)  and I am going to list them here for you...

Keeping children entertained over the summer period isn't always easy but Berlin is full of wonderful places to visit with the kids and there's no reason to just sit around twiddling your thumbs. Here's my list of ideas of what to do with children aged 5 years and over this summer in Berlin...

There's no shortage of fun museums in Berlin, so while the weather is cold and dismal, it's a great time to explore what's on offer. I took Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody to the Science Center Spectrum yesterday, and had a great time getting involved with all their interactive experiments. The boys are 3 and 5, so a lot of the 'science' behind the displays and equipment is a bit over their heads (and mine at times tbh, I've never been much of a science bod!), but nevertheless, taking part in all the fun stuff kept them entertained for a few hours. 

Last week, whilst we had family visiting and a rare chance to take my oldest out without his little brother, we decided to take him bowling for the first time. He wasn't sure at first but once he put on his special kids bowling shoes and was given his own, child-weight bowling balls, he loved it! So here's a review of Eastside Bowling in Friedrichshain and if you would like to know where your nearest family-friendly bowling alley in Berlin is, check out my list at the bottom of this post.
