Ruth MadrigalJuly 8, 2018Beautiful zoo, easily a full day visit. Most of the enclosures are the open type, which is nice. Try to not miss the feeding times. The restaurant and café areas are great too.
Emel BayraktarSeptember 27, 2015As a zoo lover, i love this one. Animals have very large spaces and you can see them closely. Feeding times are further interesting. Polar bear must not be missed.
Tuula IhamuotilaJune 25, 2013Best zoo in Europe! Lovely children's zoo too, where you can feed the lamb and goats. Don't miss it. One big minus though now that the amazing Bao Bao has sadly passed away: we need a new panda soon!Upvoted Sep 20
Gabriela MeirinhoJanuary 7, 2016his zoo is the oldest zoo in Europe and the most visited, as well. It is very beautiful and big, they take in a lot of kinds of animals; the aquarium and the canivore's house are special places.
Vangelis KoukidisApril 15, 2015Best Zoo ever! Small and easy to walk in a couple of hours, and the animals often seem to live in a very natural environment (ok still a prison, don't get angry with me). The aquarium is also nice!
Rachel ClarkOctober 2, 2019One of the best bits of our trip to Berlin! Well worth it even if you’ve been to other major zoos before. You can easily spend half a day (or more!).
Darina SultanovaAugust 15, 2018Super ! We were lucky - it was not very hot day - we saw all the animals - they are cool! The Zoo is chic!
- Kendra ValentineSeptember 15, 2015Go in the spring and you will be transported into a children's book full of happy animals. The zoo architecture is very cute & classic as well.
Jeff TSeptember 29, 2014Children play zone is amazing, nice surrounding, fantastic collection. Really worth spending all day there. Animals are nicely highlighted, especially hippos and sea lions. Sadly giant panda died.
Frau Coco LoresSeptember 3, 2015Especially for kids a cool&funny event. Don't miss the daily animal feeding hours a couple times a day. Ask for the time-table at the entrance gate. Children under 2 are free💕
Anna OrishchenkoMay 8, 2013Amazing! Great place for children and their parents! Do not forget to stock up a bottle of water because there is the only one restaurant at the Zoo territory.
Erhan KortOctober 14, 2017A great park with a lot of different animals. The most fun you can have with the monkeys
Nicole FoulkesFebruary 28, 2023A great day out! Highly recommend! Spent a good 4 hours here, recommend going in at lunchtime as you see a lot of animals getting fed!
Aline BrandãoOctober 16, 2015One of my favorite sights in Berlin. Many of its inhabitants were born in the zoo (usually a sign of well-adapted animals). Don't miss the feeding times!
Kjell ElgsaasMay 12, 2016A nice zoo overall. Felt really sad for the lion, pacing mindlessly back and forth with people 2 meters away screaming. That cage and situation is cruel to the animal.- elisabeth kjelmannJuly 26, 2013Huuge zoo park!! Be sure to have plenty of time when visiting. overall an amazing park with LOTS of different, exciting animals from the whole world in beautiful garden surroundings.
Alan LupatiniSeptember 19, 2016One of my favorite places was where you can feed sobre farm animals. It is very cool! The aquarium is also amazing, don't miss it.
UyangaMarch 24, 2019One of the most beautiful zoos I’ve been to. Pretty much a botanical garden. The animal enclosures are mostly open so you can see them up close.
FrancisOctober 2, 2017Best thing to do with kids in Berlin. Very different vibe here compared to Communist Tierpark in East Berlin. Zoo is a lot more urban
Dairinn KapaMay 14, 2019Best day in Berlin was when we visited the zoo. You will need about 3 hours to see all the animals.. bring your snacks with you!
Nenad StojanovikjOctober 3, 2016Everything is great. Make sure to see some of the feedings to the animals. The seal feeding was very entertaining.
Viki MertovaFebruary 3, 2015Don't forget to buy a ticket for the Aquarium as well - even if you're not into fish, there are other animals which you don't see every day. I was amazed.
Renata TFebruary 10, 2014knut's mom is here! also, you get to stand really close to the animals (as for every zoo, if you can check the feeding schedule, it's fun to see a lion devouring a huge piece of meat)
David FredhApril 24, 2017Fantastic place in the middle of Berlin with nicely planned, green and welcoming park. Kids loved it. Aquarium is a must!
Bình HàDecember 13, 2015The best zoo I've been to. Not for its scale or the numourous animals it holds, but the aesthetics and ethics I can learn from the experience. Truely built not just for the sake of people but animals.
Serg BaidaJanuary 20, 2020A lot of different animals and zones, "contact zoo" with little sheep and ponies. We were here in the winter, so most of the animals were in aviaries.
Oh-Berlin.comOctober 8, 2012Berlin Zoo has announced the birth of its first rusty-spotted cat kittens in its 168 year history. Click like if you think these rare kittens are super cute! Read more
DHR.comSeptember 19, 2011This amazing zoo is home to the widest collection of species in the world (more than 15,000). This place is also home to more than 1,600 animals. Don't miss The Aquarium and the adorable Giant Panda!
deestivJanuary 30, 2015Very well maintained zoo! Even for a chilly day, most of the animals were out and active - always love the 'eisbaren'!
Zara KhanMay 13, 2016A beautiful, scenic and peaceful place to be! Excellent for long walks as well.
Brian SøgaardJuly 28, 2017Very beautiful and 'clean' park. However it feels like most of the animals are somewhat hidden behind bushes or trees. But nevertheless worth a visit. Absolutely.
Z. YeseviOctober 5, 2014Huge and an amazing view- first time to see animals this close- and must visit the aquarium aswell- a good day activity
Renato PeriniJanuary 22, 2013Wow!!! What a zoo!! You will be surprised on how BIG this place is. More than 15k animals, wonderful attractions and the acquarium is simply amazing.
Sarah MaddenMay 14, 2017Great zoo in a nice area and you can get a combo ticket for the aquarium which is amazing 😍
One of the best Zoos in Europe. Looks for elephants, pandas, monkeys and a wide variety of birds.
Claus WolfOctober 12, 2014Make sure to take a map,too easy to lose your heading. Nice zoo in summer, still nice in fall, but some animals have poor accommodation inside, while outside would be nice enough.
Chip CouchJuly 30, 2023Fantastic zoo in the city with wonderful habitats. A great way to spend part of your day in Berlin.
Bart H.December 29, 2014Housing conditions vary greatly, some animals have great enclosures, whereas others live in small cages. But overall, a great zoo!
Hanneke FialkaFebruary 26, 2017The kids and me had great fun in the zoo and the aquarium. They have tickets for small families: 1 parent w.kids, value for your money!
I love this zoo. Don't miss the hippos or the nocturnal house!
Marietta ProtopapaNovember 6, 2017Great zoo, just be sure to have the whole day free- it will take you hours to walk through the whole zoo.
Collette ClaytonSeptember 24, 2012Amazing zoo, really well laid out and lots to see. If you have the Berlin Welcome Card you get 25% off per person.
Nancy RudashSeptember 30, 2015Love this place, many species, but the real thing is the atmosphere of the park. Worth a visit
Milad CerkicMarch 1, 2017It looks nice and kids enjoyed feeding farm animals a lot. But, too many sections were off limits including birds (flew), pandas (redecorating)... It looks almost deserted. Wasn't value for money 😕
If you're lucky the outside penguins (when you come from the beavers' compound) will let you pet them. / Manchmal lassen sich die Pinguine draußen (auf der Biberseite) streicheln.
MidiaDecember 24, 2018A big garden that has almost every kind of animals .some cages are really small for them. U shoud pay 15€ per person and if u want to visit aquarium pay more
