The Best Things To Do With Kids In Dusseldorf Germany

Dusseldorf is a very child-friendly city and it is not at all difficult to keep children happy and occupied here. Apart from a delightfully large number of playgrounds and gardens, the city also offers a host of fun attractions especially designed for little guests. What’s more, if children happen to be in Dusseldorf during the big fair, carnival or Christmas markets, they may never want to go home.

1. Neanderthal Museum

Museum, Park

Older children will undoubtedly enjoy the Neanderthal Museum on the outskirts of the city; it’s a museum that tells the story of human evolution over four million years. The museum provides the information in an exciting and interactive way, through amazingly lifelike human sculptures and audiovisual presentations. A trip to the museum can be followed by a walk in the Neanderthal Valley, which houses Ice Age animals such as European bisons, and several other species of back-bred animals.

Guided Tours for Children

Dusseldorf offers guided tours around the city that are especially designed for children, and aim to present the fascinating history and culture of the city in an engaging, fun manner. The City Rally takes children (and adults) for a look at the city’s exciting architecture, while the Harbour Rally takes children to explore the harbour area. The tours are suitable for children aged between eight and 12.

Climbing Walls

Children wanting to try out rock climbing should head to Superblock or Monkeyspot. Both of these gyms offer climbing walls of varied difficulty, and are suitable for everything from first-timers to experts. Trainers are always ready to help and provide advice. Other than providing great exercise, these sessions help to improve coordination and concentration.

Indoor Play Areas

When the weather is rainy or snowy, and the children are bouncing off the walls indoors, indoor playgrounds such as Bobbolino and Gino’s Kinderland come to the rescue. These play areas have huge climbing frames, tunnels, slides and bouncy castles that children like to spend hours exploring. For the little ones, there are smaller slides, ball pools, bobby cars and tiny carousels. Parents get to relax and grab a coffee at the bistro while keeping an eye on the children.
