A very beautiful place to go for a family walk is Bürgerpark. The park is mainly aimed at those seeking peace and tranquility, and love to admire centuries-old trees. Cherry blossoms here in spring, adding a bit of charm to walks. There is also a playground and benches where parents can sit watching their kiddies. Another place to relax after an active time in Osnabruck is Botanischer Garten located on the grounds of Universität Osnabrück. The place is never crowded and presents plants from various climatic zones, including tropical ones. A family picnic in such a picturesque park will surely be remembered by all family members for a long time.
As for museums, kids will like the Museum Industriekultur featuring a variety of interactive exhibits telling about the industrialization of the late 19th century. Here, children can see how steam engines work and how this or that mechanism performs its function. The atmosphere is amazing, so adults will like it here too. Another museum for young travelers is called Museum am Schölerberg. It houses a beautiful planetarium, all of its exhibits are interactive and tell about the history of the city.
When it comes to restaurants and cafes, kids will really love those offering finger-licking desserts. In Osnabruck, these are Fontanella (try the best ice cream in town), Cafe Am Markt (pay attention to unsurpassed pies), as well as Leysieffer Cafe (serves delicious confectionery). If you want to pamper your child with some wonderful pancakes, go to Crêperie, and little pizza fans should be taken to pizzerias such as L'Osteria or Calimero.
