Agyptisches Museum (Egyptian Museum) – This small
Berlin museum is home to the exquisite bust of Nefertiti and other
Egyptian artifacts, such as a mummified crocodile, sculpture of the Egyptian
cat god Bastet, reliefs of Ptah and his family as well as Akhenaten and
Nefertiti holding kids on their laps. A tiny museum, well worth the visit,
and afterwards, kids can go into the gardens of the Schloss Charlottenburg
and run around. |

 Schloss
Garten – The gardens around the Schloss are a wonderful spot to
relax. First you'll encounter the formal, French style gardens (no picnicking
here) and artificial lake. Behind the lake you'll find yourself in a lovely
forested area. Here you can spread out your picnic or, like local Berlin
families, bring along cake, juices and coffee ("kaffee and kuchen")
for an afternoon snack. There are two playgrounds with climbing structures
– one just west of the Schloss, the other in the forested area behind
the formal gardens. |

Lietzensee Park is also a great spot for families.
There's a play area for kids, two lakes, ducks to feed, and a cafe where
parents can sit down and have a beer or kids can have an ice cream. |

Take a cruise on the river – Pick up the boat at the bridge
(Schlossbruke) near the Schloss Charlottenburg for a three hour roundtrip
cruise. The boat trip takes you on a circle tour on the River Spree and
Landwehrkanal. This is just a wonderful way to see the center of Berlin.
Boats have both English and German commentary.
