Little things made big! At Centrolino, little ones go on an exploration journey through an oversized natural landscape. Developed and designed by play and leisure expert Ravensburger, Centrolino offers the perfect atmosphere for fun on over 700 m². They can climb like a spider, crawl through tunnels like an ant, or lie quietly in the bird's nest and listen to a story. Along the way, they receive age-appropriate, clear, and illustrative answers to thousands of questions about nature. Under the motto "On the Trail of Nature," Centrolino provides space for running, jumping, and climbing to satisfy children's high energy levels. Additionally, children can expand their knowledge in a playful way..
Meet Lino, our curious favourite raccoon, who lives on the roof of Westfield Centro. Lino is the cheerful mascot that not only delights the little guests at Centrolino but has also filled two Pixie books with his exciting adventures. He always stops by during action days at Centrolino.
During our Centrolino action days, Lino always stops by for a visit, and you can interact with him. On our action days, you can expect a colourful participation program and great craft activities on changing themes. Additionally, Lino visits the mall every first Saturday of the month, so feel free to stop by and say "Hello" if you see him walking around.
This year, we have prepared three major action days for you. Mark these dates in your calendar:

Mothers warm up their baby's milk bottle, fathers prepare fruit salad for the birthday party. The kitchen at Centrolino is a central place in the new children's area, which opened at Westfield Centro in May 2017. The kitchen house Horstmann sponsored and installed the entire kitchen unit, including tables and benches, for this special place. For the traditional specialist shop from Oberhausen, regional support is a matter close to their hearts.
Westfield Centro uses the fully equipped kitchen for the Centrolino program; for example, in winter, it became a Christmas bakery where children could create gingerbread houses. At Easter, eggs are painted, and in the summer, the little ones mix their own child-friendly cocktails.

Centrolino is not liable for the loss, damage, or confusion of personal belongings. We recommend labeling your child's items with their name.
Children are usually developmentally ready to stay alone in an unfamiliar care facility from the age of 4. From the age of 12, children are too big for many play equipment in the children's area.
At check-in, the phone number of the adult caregiver is recorded, so we can contact you anytime and inform you of the child's wish to be picked up.
As parents, you are obliged to provide the caregivers with all necessary information required for safe childcare and pick-up. This includes, in particular, the personal data of the parents, which are secured by an identity card or passport.
