Halloween with young children in Berlin: age 4+

For preschoolers and younger primary-school children, shorter and more manageable events are usually a better fit than large horror attractions. In 2026, Galli Theater, the kids’ disco at LOCI LOFT and the children’s Halloween party at PETER EDEL are especially suitable.
