Where do I begin there is so much. If the weather is good you can enjoy the lakes (Wannsee and Havelsee), take a boat trip from Alt Tegel or hire a rowing boat on the river at Treptower Park. Then there is the biggest train set you've ever seen at LOXX in the Alexis shopping centre at Alexander Platz (Grünerstraße 20). If you want the real thing then the Friends of Steam Locomotives have their spring festival on 16th and17th April http://dampflokfreunde-berlin.com/ At 13.30 on 20/3/2011 f. C. Union Berlin are scheduled to play Arminia Bielefeld. There are lots of swimming pools to choose from. You can take a bike tour. How about Filmpark Babelsberg? You can take a stroll through a western town or medieval village, enjoy the stuntmen's demonstrations and dine in a medieval castle. You can find the world's tallest dinosaur skeleton in the Museum für Naturkunde (closed Mondays). Why not ascend to the viewing platform on the TV tower for some fantastic views over the city. If that isn't enough why not a scarey visit to the chamber of horrors in the Gruselkabinet http://www.gruselkabinett-berlin.de/og-en.html
You're spoilt for choice
