Britzer Garten

Winter in Britzer Garten

Boasting 90 acres of sheer bliss, the Britzer Garten definitely feels like a world away from the amazing city of Berlin! Animals, mini golf and garden art are but a taste of what is on offer within the Britzer Garten. A brilliant place to visit for people of all ages and persuasions you will almost definitely find something to interest you here even if it’s just lying back on the grass and enjoying your surroundings.

Children

Britzer Garten isn’t just a place for mum and dad to relax out in the luscious green grass surrounded by colourful flowers. On the contrary, Britzer Garten is a very popular attraction amongst the younger folk out there. A lovely water playground, giant pyramid rocks, wildlife and swing sets make it a fantastic day out for the kids with plenty of stuff to keep them occupied!

Britz Mill

Let’s admit that we’re all fascinated by windmills! They’re strange yet endearing and there is one located right in the heart of Britzer Garten. Standing tall at 20 meters high and oozing with that classical Dutch feel to it, the Britz Mill is open to the public between the dates of April through to October. There is a guided tour of the mill available for those of you that wish to learn more about this awesome windmill.

Eye Candy

There are thousands of pretty flowers found around the Britzer Garten. In the south east corner you will find magnificent tall rhododendrons populating the luscious lawns.

The colourful tulips found in the Tulipan garden offer a pleasant photo opportunity whereas the crocus, daffodils and grape hyacinths found throughout Bitzer’s entirety can easily compliment your picnic.

It is very easy to see how the Britzer Garten managed to be voted amongst the top ten most beautiful gardens in Germany.

Guided Tours

There isn’t just a tour of the Britz Mill available within the Britzer Garten. There is also a weekend program aimed at providing a guided tour of the field laboratory. This Botanical and ornithological tour will give you a deeper insight into the garden and is a must for the green fingered out there.

Food and Drink

Walking around this stunning garden is bound to work up a hearty appetite. The Milk Bar found within the waterfront playground offers tasty milkshakes and savory snack for a very reasonable price – perfect for refueling the kiddies! Café AM provides enough food for anyone with a giant appetite.

It opens daily from 10am and offers a huge tasty buffet along with salads, cakes and even coffee – yum! Those of you with a taste for Italian food will love the Italian Bistro found in Britzer Garten. Delicious pastries, coffee, salad and of course Italian food make this place one of the favourites within the Britzer Garten.

Whatever it is you want to get up to you can be sure that a day at Britzer Garten will be a fun filled and relaxing experience that will stay with you for a very long time! There are so many things to do that you will easily pass the hours away in Britzer Garten.
