Do German shopping malls offer staffed children playrooms?

Accepted answer

I lived the most part of my life in Germany, though the last ten years I haven't. I don't remember seeing these anywhere other than IKEA and maybe some other, really large stores, but not malls (malls are generally not that prevalent anyway there).

If interested in a particular mall, try googling something like mallname Kinderbetreuung or generically cityname Einkaufszentrum Kinderbetreuung. There do seem to be quite a few hits.

It becomes more common in the last time. Especially big malls or shops with a big catchment area add this to their services.

From own experience I know "IKEA" and "Möbel Gruber" (in the category "big shop") and "West Park" (see "Paradies") (in the category "shopping mall") to have staffed children's playrooms.

I can't speak for the whole of Europe, but these are certainly not common in Germany. I don't remember them in the UK either, although it's a while (8 years) since I lived there.

IKEA stores quite often have them (with limited opening hours), but that's the only example I can remember seeing.
