The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia
Though probably best known as the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 (and of reunified Germany until 1999), Bonn actually has a history dating back to the 1st century BC. Roman soldiers were stationed here and the largest known Roman fort was built at Bonn. In medieval times, the town gained prominence when the Archbishop of Cologne transferred his seat to Bonn. The city's most famous son is Ludwig van Beethoven, born in 1770 at Bonngasse, where a museum now honors him.

Was the site of a national horticulture exhibition in the 50s and still has some beautifully maintained floral displays, especially in spring and summer. Lots of space for walks, nice little lakes with ducks and geese and some (older) restaurants and snack bars. Lots of concerts and events in the summer months.

The museum can be highly recommended. It mainly shows taxidermied animals, which are presented in a natural looking environment. The museum is not too big, but you can nevertheless spend 2 hours there if you want to see everything. At the moment there is a well arranged special exhibition about dinosaurs. In the basement of the building there are some aquariums with live fish. It is also worth mentioning that you can take a break in a cafeteria. The entrance fee for adults is €5 and for pensioners €2.50. The museum is easily accessible by public transport. If you come by car, it is best to use one of the car parks nearby.

Bonn Christmas Market slightly different than Dusseldorf and Colognes, more elegant feel surrounded by higher end residences, steps from Beethoven House which is also a must......

We spent a few hours just walking around the beautiful grounds of this place. There are so many beautiful flowers and trees. I especially enjoyed the water lilies in the greenhouse, the giant round lily pads (I think) were amazing and the green iguana climbing up one of the trees. I don’t know if it was because it was midweek but there very few visitors which was an added bonus in our opinion. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone who loves nature.
