Hamburg with Kids
Room to run wild. A city to marvel at. Days out that don't feel like a chore.
Right on the site
In the Hans-Jürgen Hess Hof the kids have plenty of sheltered space to play. And it carries on right outside the gate.
Lighthouse at the Bunthäuser Spitze
A short walk to the wooden lighthouse where the Elbe splits. It's a great spot for counting ships.
Heuckenlock
A forest that the tide reaches. Good for little nature explorers, wellies help.
On the Elbe island
Finkenriek Elbe beach
Sand, the Elbe and sheep on the dyke, around 16 minutes by bike. Only go in the water if you're a confident swimmer, the Elbe has strong currents.
Inselpark Wilhelmsburg
Five playgrounds, the Atlantis water playground, a skate park and a climbing hall.
HanseRock high ropes course
Climbing high up at the Inselpark.
Canoe and SUP
Hire boats at the Willi Villa on the Kuckucksteich.
Kirchdorf children's farm
Animals to stroke, just round the corner.
Wildpark Schwarze Berge
Wildlife park south of Harburg with native wild animals and a petting enclosure.
In the city
Miniatur Wunderland
The world's largest model railway, in the Speicherstadt. Book tickets online in advance.
Harbour ferry instead of a boat tour
Take ferry 62 from the Landungsbrücken along the harbour to Finkenwerder with a normal HVV ticket.
Old Elbe Tunnel
Take the lift 24 metres down and walk under the Elbe.
Planten un Blomen
Big park with playgrounds. Water light concerts from May to August at 22:00, in September at 21:00.
Hamburger DOM
Funfair in spring, summer and winter. Dates under Events.
Hamburg Card
Up to three children aged 6 to 14 travel free, and under 6 the HVV is free anyway. You can get the card at reception or online.
And in the evening? Everyone sleeps well. Elbe air makes you tired. Rainy day? You'll find ideas under Hamburg in the rain.
