If you’re visiting Berlin with children, one place for you to visit is the Berlin Zoo, which is believed to host the largest number of animal species in the world. The modern birdhouse is home to more than 550 types of birds, and the huge aquarium holds more than 9,000 different species of fish, reptiles and other creatures. You can also take a closer look at a large collection of insects, turtles, snakes and lizards. The section with giant pandas is particularly worth a visit.

Another pleasant option for a family afternoon is a visit to the Botanical Garden of Berlin, featuring an enchanting variety of plants. The enormous Great Pavilion is the largest glasshouse construction in the world. Its interior is home to water-lily ponds, waterfalls and a cliff. Among other interesting plant species, you'll have the opportunity to admire cacti, ferns, orchids and massive palms.

The area of the German capital boasts a number of fascinating amusement parks. Just an hour’s drive from Berlin, you'll find Tropical Island, the world's largest water park. A replica of a tropical lagoon with exotic fauna and flora, sandy beaches and a luxurious pool create the perfect environment for a relaxing afternoon. Open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, the park offers a wide variety of activities for visitors of all ages and tastes.
