At Bad Lobenstein's Ardesia Therme, children can expect a clown, a water slide, a fishing game, and more. The Erfurt zoo park will offer bouncy castles, archery, and a medieval camp, along with a lecture on an Arctic expedition involving whales and bears. Families visiting the Alternative Bear Park in Worbis can enjoy a free guided tour. The Tierpark Gotha will also feature face painting, craft activities, and a carousel.

The event offers puppet theater, weaving workshops, children's archery, and games with a medieval theme for little ones.
While Children's Day is celebrated internationally on June 1st, it is worth noting that World Children's Day is observed on a different date generally. In Thuringia, however, Universal Children's Day or a similar celebration might be associated with May 30th, 2025. For more specific activities, families are advised to check local event calendars or contact event organizers.
Families can take advantage of outdoor festivals, family-friendly events, community activities, and nature walks when celebrating Children's Day in Germany. These activities offer opportunities for quality family time and engagement.
The Commission, in a different sphere, has also adopted a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation. As families enjoy a day of fun and learning at home, they might also consider the importance of safeguarding their health and lifestyle, including minimizing their exposure to harmful radiations while carrying out home-and-garden projects.
