Value for money - but i'd have paid more if it meant the animals were given larger enclosures. We sadly watched for several minutes two elephants walking up & down the same patch in their (in our opinion) a very small space for two of the largest animals. The brown bear had a larger space which did look more interesting... More

For 13 euros, the entrance is very cheap. It would even be cheaper if you get a Berlin Welcome Card which also allows you unlimited u bahn and s bahn access. However, the Berlin Welcome card is only beneficial if you have a short time in Berlin i.e. 2 days or 4 days. I was there for a whole week... More

Well it wasnt so good weather for us when we were visiting light rain and quite cold. The zoo is quite large and well maintained inside - nice park around, many sculptures, flower beds and different kinds of trees. But there is another one "Tierpark" in Berlin thats much more interesting for kids and even bigger then this one. Zoo... More

I visited the zoo last February. It was a good way to spend your afternoon. Felt much like a park lots of trees and sidewalks that would crisscross paths. I grew up around the San Diego Zoo. This one has its own style. It is well worth a Visit when your in Berlin.

Enjoyed our visit to the zoo, it's got all the big hitters you want to see. Unexpected highlight was the hippos. Closely followed by our 8 year old face to face with a tiger through a viewing window and the haughtiest looking lion you've ever seen.

Fantastic day at the zoo, plenty of different animals to see. The only thing I would say is all the information was in German only so being English I didn't learn much. Still well worth going though...and even more so for the petting zoo!
