12 euro to get in Berlin Zoo is so easy to find. Never have to walk and find the Zoo entrance, is great. no free map is given. I bought ZOO BERLIN guidebook only to have Map. it's 4 euro. book cover is Aye-Aye got direct flash on him/her face. distinctive choice! a little bit `70's image book. nice playground... more

This zoo is by far the best I've been to (though I've only seen a few in Australia to compare it to!). Tonnes of animals, most with excellent enclosures, though the big cats should definitely have more room to run around in, made me sad to see them. The bears and elephants were amazing, as was the panda, and Knut... more

Having visited a few zoos throughout Europe, I felt that the one in Berlin was one of the best. It has an open and airy feel to it and the animals for the most part seem to have lots of space to move about in. We enjoyed in particular the areas housing the large cats, the polar bears and the... more

First, I'm only saying I was disappointed because I've visited 20+ zoos all over the world, and I've always understood Zoo Berlin was one of the greats. It is large, there is a good selection of animals. But 18 euros per adult to visit the zoo and aquarium - pretty steep. And by the way, the aquarium is a really... more

Spent a morning at this Zoo. First the good. The walkways and layout are very pleasant. I really like the way they have little hedges and then moat likes to stop the animals from getting out - no fences. The only maps you can get, without paying for one, are on boards around the park. Only thing is they don't... more

If you have any spare time on your visit to Berlin (and it's a bright and sunny day) then give the zoo a go. There is a large variety of animals, it's not too crowded and generally a good morning or afternoon out. It has a good outdoor restaruant and ok toilets. I could only find outdoor gift shop stands.... more

A pleasant walk to the park and lot of animals too see. Have in mind that you have to spend more than 2 hours to walk around the park. Lions and gorilla was looking too stressed in these small cages. Do something !! Tip. Take a discount ticket for zoo+Aquarium more

not bad

Supposedly a really great zoo and the exibits were good but there were some problems. There is probably only 5 maps signs put up on the WHOLE zoo. And if you want to a map to carry around with you like they give you on other zoos YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!! after paying to get in I was... more

We're not usually big fans of going to zoos while on vacation, but we decided to go this time because of Knut. This zoo is above average and was quite enjoyable. I especially like that many of the animals are contained without cages. more

The first thing that struck me about the Berlin Zoo was its layout. It is quite an impressive feat, with numerous walking trails, small bits of land with benches, etc. I have been to my share of American Zoos (Minnesota, Washington DC, Milwaukee, etc.) which have more opportunity to obtain larger plots of land than the average European Zoo I... more
