Holidays and free days are something great for children that should be enjoyed to the fullest. But what to do if the weather doesn’t play along and all the board games have already been played too often, all the books have been read and the child shouldn’t watch more TV and sit in front of the computer? We have compiled a list of various activities and excursions in Cologne – weather protected of course – so that the free time can still be used to the full.
