HKW offers free childcare for many of its programmes. Educators play, create, imagine, and research together with visiting children while parents and caregivers explore the house just a few metres away.

Childcare can be booked in advance on scheduled dates; places are limited. Any free remaining places will be allocated on site.

Due to the 2025 Berlin Half Marathon, between 4–6 April there are road closures in the area. HKW is fully accessible via public transport—S-Bahn (Hauptbahnhof) and U-Bahn (Bundestag)—and via bike or on foot.
