How to enjoy #WCEU with your children <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love when people make #WCEU into a family affair by bringing their partners and kids! That\u2019s why we\u2019re offering the WordPress Workshops for Kids<\/a> on 20 June, free childcare on 21-22 June, and have shared helpful practical information like transportation<\/a>, dining out<\/a>, and SIM cards<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re here with another guide to help you make the most of your experience in Berlin: how to keep your kids entertained while you\u2019re in town for #WCEU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Berlin is a huge city with tonnes of attractions and opportunities. You won\u2019t have any trouble finding something to do to keep your little ones occupied, but you might have a hard time choosing from the huge number of options! So we\u2019ve taken advice from real life Berlin parents, and narrowed the list for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure & Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FEZ<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>
The FEZ Berlin is Europe’s biggest non-profit centre for children, youth and families. They have big playgrounds, a forest and a large palace with workshops for kids. You can hang out at the space centre or go for a swim in their pool and lake, which even has a beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jump House<\/strong><\/a>
The Jump House is Germany\u2019s biggest hall for jumping, and also includes courts for games like basketball or dodgeball. The FoaJump and BagJump have huge foam pools to land in, so that you can try tricks and flips. Try fighting in the BattleBox, or test your stamina and skill in the SurvivalJump area. The Jump House is perfect for active kids, and is fun regardless of weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
