Deutsches
Technikmuseum
The technology museum is a giant
playground for children, excellent
for learning through play. There
are locomotives to clamber over,
windmills to play with and the
exhibition “Spektrum , where
older children can conduct their
own physics and chemistry
experiments
(see p103).
Museumsdorf Düppel
A visit to the historical
museum village of Düppel is like
time travel back to the Middle
Ages. Children can watch activi-
ties such as sowing, harvesting
and feeding
(see p91).
Zoologischer Garten
If you are visiting Berlin with
children you should not miss out
on the Zoo. Particular favourites
are the Monkey House (with
baby gorillas and chimpanzees)
and the Baby Zoo, where chil-
dren are allowed to touch and
feed the young of various animal
species
(see pp36-7).
Labyrinth Kindermuseum
Berlin's only Museum for
Children is particularly suitable
for children at the preschool stage
and in the early school years.
Three or four themed exhibitions
each year deal with subjects in a
child-friendly and entertaining
way - for example “Snoops and
Detectives . Every exhibition is
interactive, allowing children to
join in and experiment, becoming
independent through their expe-
riences in play.

Giraffe House in the Zoo
Filmpark Babelsberg
Exciting shoot-outs, a walk-
on film set with a U-boat, a town
on an island and a small town in
the Wild West are the most pop-
ular attractions at the film park -
and not just with the children. A
tour of the former UFA-Film stu-
dios lets visitors look behind the
scenes: children try out make-up
and costumes and admire the
“sandman , a TV figure popular
with children in East Germany
since 1959. Everywhere in the
Grips-Theater
This famous Berlin theatre
for children and young people
has been showing the hit musi-
cal
Linie 1
for over ten years. The
play, which is best suited to
older children and adolescents,
tells of the exciting life in the big
city, using a U-Bahn line running
from East to West Berlin as a
metaphor.
