Germany is so kid-friendly to an extent that there is very little you can’t do with kids. Other than attending night parties and clubbing, almost everything else you can do with the kids. However, sobriety must still prevail because indecent habits such as smoking and drinking are prohibited in front of underage children.
In other words, Germany is a country where your kids will rarely get bored especially if you spend time during weekends to keep them company. So, what are some of the family activities that you can engage in while in Germany? Well, they include but aren’t limited to, the following:
- Lunch eat outs
When you think about taking your family out the first thing that should come to your mind is food. Well, good food is appealing to anyone, regardless of age. Some delicacies that a family can enjoy in local Germany restaurants include Bratwurst (sausage), Pommes (French fries), Nudeln mit Tomatensosse (pasta and tomato sauce), or Spätzle.
- Train family ticket
Just like most developed countries, Germany has a meticulous train infrastructure which includes both normal train and high-speed electric trains. Family tickets come with greater perks such as amazing discounts and special seat allocations. On a lazy day you can decide to take the family out for a train ride, and have the opportunity to explore other parts of the country too.
- Visit museums
Germany is a rich heritage country that has preserved its unique history in more than 6000 museums in every city and town across the country, including the mustard! While some museums are specially opened for specific cultural artifacts, most of them will talk about the history of Germans, in particular, the Roman invasion and the times of Adolf Hitler. This story is something that your kids will not mind listening too. The top museums that you can visit include the Toy Museum in Nuremberg, Chocolate in Cologne, and Museum of National History in Berlin.
Germany has almost 1/3 of its entire land area covered by green vegetation which creates natural habitat for indigenous wildlife and birds too. Moreover, there is at least one holiday park in every town and so it can make a good family activity to tour such areas for wildlife exploration. For instance some of the holiday parks that you can visit in Berlin include Ferienpark Brandenburg, Rübezahl Ferien Park and FEWO parks. Most parks are opened by around 11.00 am and remain closed past around 6.00 pm. However, some parks may also remain closed during public holidays.
- Swimming and bicycle riding
Finally, you can also engage swimming or bicycle riding as a family. In fact, you can even go ahead to do bicycle riding every evening because it is a good exercise for not only physical wellbeing but mental too. However, swimming on the river beaches like that of the Rhine can be a little bit risky and needs great caution. Children aren’t advised to engage in such kind of swimming. Instead, you can take them to the northern beaches in one of the finest weekends where it is safe. Moreover, rescue resources are also at bay in case of an emergency situation.
There is a main reason why German is ranked as a leading international tourist destination in the whole of Europe, and you should probably explore that for yourself. Get your whole family today, grab a visa and visit Germany! Remember, there is also river cruising, something that you wouldn’t want to miss.
