Lions Park was my home base for going tubing down the river and it’s the perfect place for a family with kids to do that. Has plenty of parking space (on the streets and a lot for disabled drivers), decent and clean bathrooms, a grassy area for your picnic blanket and is a few steps away from the river. It also has pickleball courts, a baseball field, a small playground and an outdoors gym. You can’t have propane tanks to grill on it, but a small stove would be ok. There’s also a park ranger that walks around and makes sure everything ok. Great place!

Amazing place, food and drinks. We tried the mixed tapas and they were all excellent. The main course was also excellent as was the dessert. The place is minimalistically well designed and clean. Service was good. Great experience. They just needed a bit of music for ambiance but overall, a great evening.

A wonderful farm without leaving Berlin, with animals, vegetables, an orchard and also a hands-on museum with lots of activities for kids (and adults!) to learn: how to make thread with wool, how to knit a flower crown, how to paint ceramics, how to sort grains, harvest your own seasonal vegetables and feed the farm animals. They have lots of festivals and activities during the year, in which case, there’s a small entrance fee for adults. On other days, the entrance fee is lower and follows the honor system (a machine gives you a ticket at the door). There’s a restaurant as well as lots of areas for a picnic. A wonderful place to spend a whole afternoon! My 3 and 5 year olds loved harvesting potatoes and then roasting them in an open fire in the field! Walking distance from two U3 Bahn stations: Dahlem Dorf (back entrance, closer to the field and animals) or Podbielskiallee (main entrance, closer to the museum and restaurant). We will be back many times.
