It's adorable with things to play on and move that you definitely won't find anywhere else. They were able to spend over an hour here and still didn't want to leave. When we were here there was a portable outhouse across the street which was unlocked, but I think that was only because on some construction going on. I don't know if there is a close bathroom otherwise which for kids could end up being a disaster. Other than the restroom situation this place is amazing.

New York Time June 5, 2016 had an article about Berlin's playgrounds. This was mentioned and photos…read morewere shown. This is a witches themed playground with one of a kind wooden structures unlike anyone else in the world. On Sunday afternoon it is not crowded. The zip line was fun and so was the rope snake swing. I had a nice work out. A real find. If you are traveling with junior, stop by for a summer afternoon play break. You'd take more photos you think you could take. Better than the children's park in Luxembourg park in that it is free, less crowded and filled with one of a kind play structure only available in Berlin.

A surprise. Totally unexpected. Also on the June 5, 2016 New York Times article, where this was one…read moreof the last ones to be mentioned due to its inconvenience to any u-bahn. We drove as driving in Berlin is quite tolerable. Like most Berlin playground, this one is all all the pippi longstocking theme. There are wooden sticks and bridges to cross, water to flood the sand castle and surprise surprise, two surrounding smaller playgrounds just outside of this park. Parking is not very desirable, however, so the best time to come is mid afternoon and not late afternoon. I do think this is one of the lesser known ones in the city, and if you are looking for something yet super unique and want to see what else is there outside of the main Berlin ring, this is a good place to stop by.

Animals...... I love them!…read more So given the name of this place, its target audience is children and not adults like myself, but I can't help but be drawn to a petting zoo of sorts in the middle of a park. Walk through the gates and you can see a variety of animals. There are chickens everywhere, and other kinds of birds like ducks and geese. There is a barn full of rabbits and guinea pigs with super silly names bestowed upon them by the children who feed and take care of them. There is a pig old sow, who is scary looking... don't mess with her! And there are sheep, and goats, and DONKEYS! Oh man, I love the donkeys! You can pet the animals if they are near or watch them from afar. I also love strolling by the outside and seeing them making their loops around the yard. If you have little ones, definitely take them here for a comfortable and easy-going (plus safe) introduction to/interaction with farm animals. Best of all? It's free!
