During the summer months, Berlin closes it's indoor swimming pools (yes, even when it's a bad summer unfortunately) and it's many open-air/outdoor swimming pools open up to the masses. They do tend to get rather busy so do expect crowds if you go on a warm weekend, but they can be lots of fun. I've written a list of family-friendly outdoor swimming pools in Berlin along with their Summer opening schedule and some extra info about who they are best for ie. younger children or older kids. I'll be compiling a separate list of the best family-friendly lakes to visit this Summer so keep an eye out for that...
Kinderbad Monbijou (Mitte)
Oranienburger Straße 78
10178 Berlin
Open: 07.06.2014 - 31.08.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: There are two swimming pools here, one with deep water and the other specifically for young children/babies. There is also an ok sized green area to lounge and play on.
Sommerbad Olympiastadion (Westend)
Olympischer Platz 1
14053 Berlin
Open: 06.05.2014 - 14.09.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: Take a look at a bit of history when visiting this special outdoor swimming pool at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Built especially for the Berlin 1936 Olympics, the pool is surrounded by stadium seating and looks rather grand, if a little ugly. It still makes for something rather special and along with the 50m pool with spring boards, there are two children's pools with slides. You can read a little more about the history of the Berlin Olympic swimming pool here.
Sommerbad Wuhlheide (Oberschöneweide)
Treskowallee 211
12459 Berlin
Open: 01.06.2014 - 31.08.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: The Sommerbad Wuhlheide offers lots for little ones including waterslides for babies and toddlers as well as a dry playground and climbing area.
Sommerbad Kreuzberg (Kreuzberg)
Prinzenstraße 113-119
10969 Berlin
Open: 03.05.2014 - 14.09.2014

Tip: This open-air swimming pool in the middle of Kreuzberg offers a 'non swimmer' pool with slide and a children's playground along with a terrace and cafe to relax.
Kinderbad Platsch (Marzahn)
Max-Herrmann-Straße 7
12687 Berlin
Open: 05.07.2014 - 24.08.2014

Sommerbad am Insulaner (Steglitz)
Munsterdamm 80
12169 Berlin
Open: 07.06.2014 - 31.08.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: This outdoor swimming pool offers something for children big and small. For the little ones there is both a small and a slightly larger 'non-swimmer' section, one with a little slide in to the water and for the older children, there is a 50m swimming pool with 3 springboards to practise their dives in to the water and a large bendy waterslide. Outside of the pool, there is also a sandpit and small climbing area.
Sommerbad Pankow (Pankow)
Wolfshagener Straße 91
13187 Berlin
Open: 07.06.2014 - 31.08.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: A good one especially for the older children, Sommerbad Pankow offers lots of watery fun including water slides, spring boards, water canons, a so-called 'high-speed water slide' and one of those current channels that pushes you round in the water.
Sommerbad Mariendorf (Mariendorf)
Rixdorfer Straße 130
12109 Berlin
Open: 07.06.2014 - 31.08.2014
Website and opening times
Tip: Another outdoor swimming pool in Berlin that fits well for all the family. Inside the pool, there is a special area for 'non swimmers' with a small slide and 'water mushrooms', in the 50m pool there is a water slide and diving boards and outside of the pool, there is a children's playground, table tennis, volleyball nets and football (soccer) goals.
Is there a Berlin outdoor swimming pool you love that has been missed off? Leave a comment below with the pool details and why it's so good for families and I'll add it to the list.
