CELEBRATE NEW YEAR’S EVE AT HELMHOLTZPLATZ
Hire a New Year’s Eve Venue in Berlin – Exclusively for You and Your Children
Celebrate the New Year with friends and family at Kindercafé Spielzimmer in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Hire the entire café for your private New Year’s Eve party and plan the evening your way, with your own food, drinks and decorations.
The venue is hired on a self-catering basis, without service staff. While the children explore our play areas, you can eat together, relax and welcome the New Year.
The café exclusively for you
All rooms are reserved exclusively for your private party.
Bring your own food & drinks
You organise the catering yourselves and bring whatever you would like to enjoy together.
Play areas for children
A slide, ball pits and plenty of other play facilities are all part of Spielzimmer.
Kitchen & crockery available
You may use the kitchen and crockery. The espresso machine is excluded.
The whole of Spielzimmer for your private New Year’s Eve party
On New Year’s Eve , Spielzimmer belongs entirely to your group. Celebrate privately, with no other café customers and no set programme. Invite the people you want to spend the New Year with.
You can eat, play games or chat together at our tables. For children, our indoor playground in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg offers a welcome change of pace during the party, with a slide, ball pit and climbing facilities. Younger guests can play and move around while the adults enjoy welcoming the New Year together. Children must, of course, remain under the supervision of their accompanying adults.
Our family-friendly New Year’s Eve venue in Berlin accommodates up to 50 people in total. Both adults and children count towards this limit, so please include everyone attending when planning your party.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve with your own catering – no service staff
You hire our New Year’s Eve venue and organise your celebration yourselves. No service staff will be present during your New Year’s Eve party. Your group is responsible for food, drinks, setting the tables and cleaning up afterwards.
Organise it together
Before the party, agree who will bring food and drinks, help with setting up and take care of the clean-up. Sharing these tasks in advance means no single person has to do everything on the night.
Use the kitchen and crockery
You may use the kitchen and the crockery provided. The espresso machine must not be used. Our fridges are already in use for normal café operations, so there is only limited additional space.
No service staff · Espresso machine excluded · Limited space in the fridge
Welcome the New Year with family, friends and children
When several families celebrate together, not everyone wants the same thing: some guests prefer sitting around the table, while others want to play or move about. At Spielzimmer, you can bring all these activities together in one place.
Adults can eat and chat together. For babies and younger children, there is a separate toddler play area with age-appropriate toys, where they can play and explore with their parents or other accompanying adults. Older children will also find plenty to do. This means you can alternate between time together at the table, play and little breaks throughout the evening.
Whether you come with families you are friends with, grandparents or a mixed group of friends , plan an evening that suits your guests. With young children in particular, it helps not to leave all the food and shared activities until midnight.
Food and drinks
With this self-catering hire , you bring your own food and drinks. Whether it is a buffet everyone contributes to, salads, filled rolls, snacks or cakes, you decide what suits your group and the evening.
Agree in advance who will bring what. Think about the children, different preferences and any allergies within your group. Labelling dishes can help guests choose from the shared buffet.
Catering and food and beverage service are not included in the hire price. You are responsible for setting out, replenishing and clearing away the food.
Permission to bring your own food and drinks applies only to this agreed New Year’s Eve hire. Our usual visiting rules apply during regular café opening hours.
Would you also like to visit Spielzimmer outside a private New Year’s Eve party? During our normal opening hours, you can enjoy coffee, playtime and breakfast together. On our page about breakfast in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, you will find our breakfast options and the option to reserve a table. Unlike the New Year’s Eve hire, food and drinks during regular café visits are provided through our café menu.
Your decorations and music
You create the New Year’s Eve atmosphere yourselves. Table decorations, party hats and a few festive touches can give the café a personal feel for your evening. Please allow enough time afterwards to remove your decorations.
Would you like to celebrate with friends or relatives before the end of the year? You can also hire Spielzimmer exclusively for a private Christmas party with children in Berlin. It is a lovely way to get together during Advent and decorate the space to suit your celebration.
Music for your New Year’s Eve party
Speakers and Spotify are available in the café. You can play music during your celebration and prepare a playlist in advance that suits your group.
Lights instead of open flames
Candles and open flames are prohibited inside the café. Please use LED candles or other electric lights for your table decorations instead. Sparklers are also not permitted indoors.
Play facilities for your youngest New Year’s Eve guests
Our play areas are included in your exclusive hire of Spielzimmer. They give children a variety of things to do during the party. Which areas are suitable depends on your child’s interests and abilities.
Slides, ball pits and active play
In the indoor playground, children can go down the slide, explore the ball pit and enjoy spaces for moving around and hiding. Please accompany your children wherever they need help.
A separate toddler area
Younger children have their own toddler area, with a separate ball pit and small toys. Here you can explore, reach for toys and discover new things together.
Ride-on cars
Children can explore the café on our quiet ride-on cars. Please be considerate of other guests and keep walkways clear.
Dressing up
Choose costumes and accessories, try out new roles and invent stories: our dressing-up box is perfect for imaginative play.
Discover books
Books for different age groups offer a break from active play. Choose a story to look at or read together.

We reopen at 10 am on 1 January. All cleaning and tidying after your New Year’s Eve party must be completed by then. This window for setting up, celebrating and cleaning up does not extend your agreed party duration.
If you would rather start the year with a relaxed breakfast than a long New Year’s Eve party, we also offer a separate exclusive New Year’s Day breakfast with children in Berlin. You can welcome the New Year over breakfast with family and friends. The New Year’s Day breakfast is a separate offer and is not included in the New Year’s Eve venue hire.
Leave the venue clean and tidy
You must leave the café swept clean and tidy. This includes washing and putting away any crockery you have used, disposing of rubbish in our bins, and tidying the floors and play areas. Please also remove your decorations and take any leftover food and drinks with you.
We will arrange the return of the keys with you personally.
