Biofach Berlin Fair

About

Biofach Berlin brings the world of organic, sustainable living to life each June at ExpoCenter City Berlin, offering families a unique opportunity to explore healthy food, eco-friendly products, and green innovations. Kids can discover where their food comes from, taste delicious organic treats, and learn about protecting our planet in an interactive, hands-on environment. This annual fair transforms shopping for sustainable products into an educational adventure that engages children while giving parents access to the latest in organic living.

What to Expect

Families will encounter a bustling trade fair atmosphere with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing organic food, natural cosmetics, eco-friendly toys, and sustainable products. The environment is professional yet welcoming, with many vendors offering free samples, product demonstrations, and interactive displays. While primarily a B2B trade event, the fair increasingly welcomes families on public days with kid-friendly tastings, cooking demonstrations, and educational workshops about organic farming, sustainability, and healthy eating. Expect wide aisles suitable for strollers, though crowds can build during peak hours.

Highlights for Kids

• Free tastings of organic chocolates, juices, snacks, and international treats from exhibitors worldwide
• Interactive cooking demonstrations showing how healthy organic meals are prepared
• Discovering eco-friendly toys and natural craft materials at sustainable product booths
• Learning about how fruits, vegetables, and grains are grown organically through educational displays
• Collecting free samples and product goodies to take home as souvenirs

Pro Tips for Families

1. Purchase tickets online in advance to avoid queues and check if family or children's tickets are available for public days, as this is primarily a trade fair with limited general admission times
2. Bring reusable water bottles and shopping bags – the fair's eco-friendly ethos means many exhibitors appreciate visitors who come prepared sustainably
3. Visit the organic juice and smoothie stands early in your visit to keep kids energized and hydrated while exploring the extensive exhibition halls
4. Download the Biofach floor plan app or grab a printed map at entrance to identify kid-friendly exhibitors and any scheduled workshops or demonstrations in advance

Best Time to Visit

Arrive right at opening time (typically 9-10 AM) when exhibitors are fresh, samples are plentiful, and crowds are lighter, making it easier to navigate with children. If attending a multi-day event, Saturday generally offers the most family-oriented programming and atmosphere. Plan your visit for 2-3 hours in the morning before children become tired from walking and sensory overload from the busy exhibition environment.

Food & Drinks

The fair features numerous organic food vendors offering tastings and samples throughout the exhibition halls, from fresh juices and smoothies to international organic snacks and sweets. Several on-site cafés and food stands serve organic meals, sandwiches, and kid-friendly options like pasta, wraps, and fresh fruit. Most exhibitors are generous with free samples, so children can try new flavors, though you should plan to purchase lunch if staying more than two hours. All food adheres to organic standards, making it easy for parents with dietary concerns or allergies to find suitable options.

Parking & Access

ExpoCenter City Berlin (Messe Berlin) is centrally located and easily accessible via public transportation – take the S-Bahn to Messe Nord/ICC or U-Bahn to Kaiserdamm, both within 5-10 minutes' walk. If driving, on-site parking is available at the Messe Berlin parking facilities (expect to pay €15-20 per day), though spaces fill quickly during popular fairs. The venue is completely stroller-accessible with elevators, ramps, and wide aisles throughout the exhibition halls. For international visitors, the venue is approximately 30 minutes from Berlin Brandenburg Airport by car or 45 minutes via public transport.
