Destinations / Europe

Until Nov. 10, Berlin Science Week invites family travelers to fascinating sessions given by science innovators from a variety of fields, speaking on the theme “Dare to Know.” Workshops, field trips, panel discussions, hack-athons and science slams are part of the fun. The venue is CAMPUS, located in Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin.

While you’re in town, visit Deja Vu Museum, where the world of magical illusions provides the setting for experiences, including XXL Kaleidoscope, where colors and shapes take over the space; Thunderstorm Room, where visitors are thrust into the heart of a storm; and Star Room, where you’ll feel as though you’re floating among twinkling stars and galaxies. Other illusions include Eye-Tracking Dragon and Room of Spheres.

 

Plan to take in a performance of OVO, Cirque du Soleil’s latest extraordinary show being staged at Mercedes-Benz Arena. Insects are the theme, from the Flexible Dragonfly and Amazing Ants to Crazy Crickets and Brave Butterflies, who all inhabit a vibrant on-stage ecosystem.

Throughout the show, your family can speculate on the meaning of the enormous, mysterious egg that’s part of the fun.

 

During the Most Wanted: Music 23 music festival Nov. 14 to 16, the historic Kulturbrauerei hosts the Listen to Berlin: Awards and MW:M Live showcase event featuring an entertaining array of upcoming musical talent.
