Kinderbauerhof (children's farm) am Mauerplatz

There are a number of city farms dotted across the city and the Kinderbauerhof am Mauerplatz is a good example of using a stretch of land where the Berlin Wall once stood. There is a reasonable selection of animals for a small space, including sheep, goats, chickens and horses, to keep children entertained for a while. When we were there they were brushing the horses down for the night and children were encouraged to watch, help and ask questions. As you would expect, it can get a bit muddy in wet weather so wellies are a good idea. The people who run the farm live on site so it is important to respect the signs asking visitors not to enter the living area.
