By Michele Hartley, About.com

Planning a family vacation to Germany is easy with all the great vacation packages Germany offers. There are a few great options for parents with infants, toddlers and little ones that will please both parents and children. Children's activities, childcare, rooms equipped with everything for babies and toddlers, make the Familotel group a great option.

With over 50 members in Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, Familotel offers a comprehensive package of services and amenities that will make traveling with your toddler a breeze. Rooms at Familotels are equipped with all necessary baby equipment, including strollers, baby food warmers, potty chairs, child proof rooms and as much as 35 hours of child care included with the room rates. You can order a babysitter for the evening and parents are provided with baby intercoms and pagers. You can get one family room or a family apartment. There are toy and game rooms and play areas and the hotel restaurants cater to getting the little ones served quickly so parents can relax. There are Familhotel members across Germany so you can choose your vacation spot or spots and know your children are well taken care of if you want some time to yourself.

Biohotels offer great family fun in natural settings and provide various levels of child care, children's activities, and dining and entertainment. The wide range of different hotels provide holidays specializing in outdoor activities, spa treatments, children's activities and activities for seniors as well. A guiding principal for the hotels is that all foods (including meats, vegetables, and fruits) need to be organic and no pre-packaged foods are served - a great chance to get some great home-made home-grown foods.

The Ulrichshof Bio-Kinder Resort in Bavaria offers complete packages for kids and parents including special kids activities, pool, horseback riding and hiking.

If you have teens you might want to consider one of the youth hostels that offers family vacations, a great way for your kids to meet others their own age and also a cheap way to travel if you are on a budget. There are hundreds of them across Germany and costs can be as little as $20 a night.
