Most has been told about GELBE VILLA and the regular activities taking place. However something…read morespecial has been running every year on one Sunday in early September! There is a FAMILIENFEST INTERNATIONAL at the place. It's great, it's for the kids and the family and it's for free. Lock out for it, because it had in the past not been very well promoted beforehand! The event connects to the annual ILB (Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin), a big literature festival in Berlin, running for about a fortnight. Therefore that Sunday in September is about BOOKS for kids of different age, books presented by their international authors. Bits of texts will be read in German by well-known readers or even actors, though parts of it will be read by the authors themselves in original language. Kids and their adult company are welcome to ask questions to the writers. Additionally, there'll be running non-reading activities within the house and outside and inexpensive food and soft-drinks can be purchased.

Cool idea to find a little farm right in the city center. For some unknown reason, there are no…read moreanimals at some days. And the people that work there, often seem quiet intoxicated and rude.

Animals...... I love them!…read more So given the name of this place, its target audience is children and not adults like myself, but I can't help but be drawn to a petting zoo of sorts in the middle of a park. Walk through the gates and you can see a variety of animals. There are chickens everywhere, and other kinds of birds like ducks and geese. There is a barn full of rabbits and guinea pigs with super silly names bestowed upon them by the children who feed and take care of them. There is a pig old sow, who is scary looking... don't mess with her! And there are sheep, and goats, and DONKEYS! Oh man, I love the donkeys! You can pet the animals if they are near or watch them from afar. I also love strolling by the outside and seeing them making their loops around the yard. If you have little ones, definitely take them here for a comfortable and easy-going (plus safe) introduction to/interaction with farm animals. Best of all? It's free!

Wir waren sehr gespannt darauf, den Kinderbereich auszuprobieren. Als wir ankamen, schlief ein Hund…read moreauf der Couch, die sich direkt vor dem Kinderbereich befand. Mit vielen offenen Stellen außerhalb des Kinderbereichs für einen Hund zu schlafen. Ich fragte, ob der Hund freundlich sei, und die Frau, deren Hund es war, sagte, sie sei sich nicht sicher. Daraufhin bellte der Hund und versuchte bei zwei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten, mein Kind zu beißen, ohne dass ein Grund vorlag. Wir waren einfach nur vorbeigegangen. Ich fragte sie, ob es einen anderen Schlafplatz für den Hund gäbe, worauf sie antwortete, die Lösung sei, den Hund nicht zu stören. Sehr wenig hilfreich und ziemlich egoistisch. Ich würde dringend davor warnen, Kinder hierher zu bringen, leider. We were very excited to try the kids area. When we showed up there was a dog sleeping on the couch located directly in front of the kids area. With many open places outside of the kids area for a dog to sleep. I asked if the dog was friendly and then the woman who's dog it was said she wasn't sure. The dog then proceeded to bark and try and bite my child on two different occasions unprovoked. We were simply passing by. I asked her if there was another place for the dog to sleep to which she replied the solution is not to disturb the dog. Very unhelpful and rather egotistical. Would highly warn against taking kids here sadly.
