Daycare Closed? Time to Explore Together.
When the daycare is closed, your usual daily routine changes. An outing together brings a welcome change: At Kindercafé Spielzimmer you can discover our indoor playground in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg with its slide, climbing features and ball pit, dress up or enjoy a story together. For our youngest visitors, there is also a separate toddler play area with a crawling corner, where babies and toddlers can play in an age-appropriate setting.
Whether with mum or dad, grandparents or a babysitter: children visit with an accompanying adult. You can explore with them and tailor your visit to their interests.
Our café does not provide childcare. It offers a place where you can enjoy the day off together.
Daycare Closed? Active Play, Imagination and Story Time
Indoor Playground
Slide, play in the ball pit and discover hiding places: our indoor playground gives children room to move and enjoy little adventures. On rainy days, it is a lovely alternative to an outdoor playground. Find more ideas in our guide to indoor play with toddlers on rainy days in Berlin.
Baby and Toddler Area
A separate ball pit and small toys invite our youngest visitors to try things out. Explore alongside them at their own pace.
Ride-on Cars
Children can explore the café on our quiet Bobby Cars. Please be considerate of other guests and keep walkways clear.
Dressing Up
Choose costumes and accessories, try out new roles and make up your own stories: our dressing-up box encourages imaginative play.
Discover Books
Books for different age groups offer a break from energetic play. Choose a story to look at or read aloud together.
Make Time for a Break
Between play sessions there is time for a break together. At Spielzimmer, you can enjoy coffee, waffles, cakes and snacks. Sit down together and treat yourselves during your visit.
If you would like to start with breakfast in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, you can book a table together with your breakfast order. Table reservations are available for breakfast bookings only; for a regular café and play visit, simply drop in.

Around Christmas, many daycare centres are also closed. If you would like to spend those days with your children, you can plan a trip to Spielzimmer and combine playtime with a cosy café break. If you would like to celebrate the festive season with several families or friends, you can also hire our family café exclusively as a venue for a private Christmas party with children in Berlin.

When the daycare is closed, your outing together should be as straightforward as possible. For a regular visit to Kindercafé Spielzimmer you do not need a reservation. Just check our current opening hours before coming along with your child.
