Berlin's Kinderbauernhöfe and Jugendfarmen

Berlin's children's farms are mostly staffed by educators rather than zookeepers, and most of them cost nothing to enter. What varies is who they are built for and when the gate is open: some are day-trip estates with a restaurant and a museum fee, others are fenced adventure playgrounds meant for six-to-fourteen-year-olds who come without their parents after school. Before you set off, check the closing day and the age range for each farm, because the sources often disagree on hours.
