I visited the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German History Museum) in December 2019. This time I was a little pressed for time. I agree with Alabastron the DHM is pretty dry, lots of reading involved. Kids of your children's age might enjoy the lively, interactive, hands-on DDR Museum more. DDR Museum opens regularly from May 4, 2020 The DDR Museum is looking forward to your visit again from May 4, 2020 at 9 a.m. The Welcome Card gives a 25% discount on the 8-euro price. Pergamon is good even for pre-teens.

You asked about discounts. Neues Museum with Nefertiti is also nice. This museum is dedicated to the former DDR which is relatively recent history ... the grandchildren (aged 14 & 11) and trying to understand the essence of 'cold war' years was a challenge that this DDR Museum helped to achieve. The DHR Museum is a treasure house, but apart from the special exhibitions in the Pei wing which are always good, it can be daunting even to interested, motivated adults. Here you will find the most important information about the new hygiene and distance regulations for the prevention of the spread of Covid-19. I really like history so this museum is very interesting for me.
