Reviews of Berlin Zoological Garden (Zoo)

Leyla Çil

I recommend buying tickets online because then we skip the queues. Huge zoo, large paddocks and easily accessible so you can admire the animals from many sides. Part of the zoo is under renovation, so keep that in mind. We just hit the heat so a lot of animals rested in the shade and were a bit hidden, but it also has its charm. It is worth seeing pandas and feeding sea lions. Gastronomy as in the zoo, rather simple things.

We expected to find more animals .. i don't know if in summer it's different, but in winter most of the animals either were sleeping or missing ..

Great place for family and kids. Not a great idea for backpacker’s.. occasionally crowded and noisy.

Enrico Stahn

Very big and spacious. Lots of animals to enjoy. Children are lucky to have such a place to visit.

Ilsa Slattery

Beautiful place, but not really "kids friendly", meaning there was very few spots for small kids to view the animals - it was either covered with bushed og walls. But with our 4 year old up on daddy's shoulders, we were able to enjoy the spacious area and see everything from pandas to rabbits and huge gorillas :-)

It was a mild damp day when I visited. I bought times tickets online which was good as lines busy buying at the zoo, The zoo itself is fairly large and well spread out. I managed to see most of the animals. Not all of the animals were out but I managed to see the pandas which was my neon reason to go. In dome of the rooms housing the animals the floor slopes down. In the primate room I slipped down to the front so be careful what shoes you wear. I spent 3 hours walking around. If a few more animals had been out it would have been longer. An enjoyable place to visit for half a day

Very nice zoo it's very cool and you can get the tickets online or from the zoo for 16 euros. Also u need at least 4 hours to see all the zoo and the garden is very nice for a picnic so grab some food and snaks. There are restaurants and …

Loved it here! Very clean & a lot of animals to see including polar bears, panda bears & wolves. Really big enclosures and well spread out. Can't wait to go again!

Hasan Pehlivan

The nicest zoo I have ever visited. Awesome way to spend half a day. Been there three times for now and if I happen to visit Berlin again, the zoo will be on my go to list.

Anna Roitman

I was very surprised how clean and nice was this park. Enjoyed that there is no huge fences and animals walks freely around in their territory with just a small ditch between animals and visitors. Aqualandia impressed me the most

Jakub Mosek

It was cold and most of the species were moved indoor, so it looked empty and abandoned, but still worth visiting. We spent almost 4 hours there, yet unable to see everything. …

It is a very nice, clean, and well-organized zoo. The variety of animals, birds, and aquatic animals was amazing. Fair ticket price (you need to take a separate ticket for the aquarium if you want). Animals are organized in such a way that there is no obvious cage for the outdoor animals. It can be interesting for kids as well as adults. Some tips to have a better experience: 1- take the zoo map at the entrance and have a plan to visit everywhere. 2- you will need MINIMUM four hours to visit all (3 + 1 aquarium). I suggest that you go for 2.5 hours, then have lunch (snacks, or whatever) as a break, and then visit the rest. There exist some restaurants inside the zoo but their price and quality are not consistent.

Great place to learn about animals. Beautiful Zoo close to public transportation (U6) shops, restaurants. Lots of kids. Not too crowded.

Iben Louise Kiilerich

Great zoo. They have 3 pandas. Pandas are so cute. We went in winter so not all the animals were out. We were there mainly for the pandas.

Dieter Scholtyssek

It is one of the must-see places when you come to berlin, but you'd better spare the whole day while you're here, because it's a very big place. we couldn't finish it in one day… maybe it was because it was cold, I don't know, but the elephants really wanted to go back to their enclosed space and it saddened us to see them like that. panda island was amazing…we didn't miss the commemorative coin either. We try to pick it up wherever we go and this panda coin attracted us a lot with its design. we couldn't see the sloths, it made us sad. We really wamted to see the star I guess.. moreover, we didn't even know if we couldn't find it or if it wasn't there when we went. Food and beverage facilities were very nice and their toilets were clean. Also, we watched and laughed for a long time. If you are a student, do not forget to come with your ID! Don't be fooled by the queue at the ticket purchase, they move very fast...

Kathryn Harrison

It was amazing experience to look at different kinds of animals. My son is also enjoying it.

Sebastian Janowski

I visited in november. So zoo seemed somewhat empty. Regardless for price of 16€ it's absolutely a steal & worth your while. Grear place for photoshoot... I must recommend.

Damian “Pokemon” Pawlak

Very nice zoo! Don't miss the show with the seals.

Stefania Leone

Great experience, equally enjoyed by parents and kid!!

Ralfs Karro

Amazing pkace for spend a day with your partner,friends and family! Everythings was super accurated...i love it!

Gianluca Centulani

Very well maintained, lots of natural beauty, must visit aquarium and most important for kids is kids play park which is amazingly designed

Emelie Happel

It's not necessarily the biggest Zoo, but it is very nice and has an aquarium too. The playground is one of the best I have been to. I think it is also the only Zoo I've been to that has Pandas (not Red Pandas, but the big black and white ones), and I've been to Zoos on both sides of the Atlantic.

Ramee Deeb

I loved it. Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours. Great attraction, a lot of open spaces, really clean and beautiful zoo.

Rahaf Walid

The day we went the animals there were ready to give us the most amazing spectacle… I wish I could’ve had been more proactive taking pics but I was enjoy the moment!

I had a great day with my adult daughter. Loved the panda enclosure which also had a small film screen showing them as babies. Bought a book about bees and also bought a pot of honey from the lovely little Tourist shop. Prices were fair. Loads of different animals. The seal cubs were cute. It was weird knowing that we were in the heart of Berlin. I will go back again. Hopefully they will have finished the new animal enclosures for eg..the polar bear. Big thumbs up

Reza Asefi

One of the better zoos i ever visited . Wear comfortable wearing shoes and bring enough water.there is much to see and do.

Somebody Normal

Great Zoo, lots of different animals. Beautifully arranged. Probably of the best ones in EU. Must see if you are on a family trip in Berlin

Kim Wagner

It is a very nice zoo. The animal residents are big. They try to make them look like their natural habitat. Most important, animal spotting was relatively easy. The only negative point is that the zoo lacks logic walking routes and it is …

Sauerkraut Marinate

Nice place, sweet animals????

Zaidoun Haddad

Really nice park, a huge amount of animals and all very well kept. The facilities are also very good. Really enjoyed my time here.

T J

One of the best zoos! Had that New York City type vibe being a Oasis in the middle of the city. Highly recommended

Nikolina Vranes

Best zoo I visited so far until now... Huge variety of animals- most in the world Even though animals in zoos are controversial discussed it is still a good option for children to see and to preserve seldom species from extinction

Carita

The Zoo has a good variety of animals ranging from birds, elephants to hippos. Animal encounter and self-feeding is still available. Although watch out of those pesky goats. Best playground in Berlin. The playground is divided to …

Elizabeth “Elizgangsta”

Beautiful animals from all over the world. One of the most fascinating animals that you can see in the Berlin Zoo are of course the pandas, what a joyful animal and how cute. You can also see many different types of monkeys in the zoo.

Sundus Amrani

Loved it here. Polar bears, pandas, seals, and many more. Children would definitely enjoy here.

Angel Nedev

Very clean and wonderful place. Not so big but with a lot of animals to see. Not expensive and with a very clear map to follow.

Mohammad Abouei

I've always visited this zoo every summer and i really like it! There are multible opportunities to grab something to eat. The map is easy to understand so navigating isn't hard. The info-signs are also nice and short but informative. My favorite spot is definitely the bird house. I also recommend eating a burger from the stand near the chimpanzees!

Elaine Fenech

Beautiful zoo, various animals who genuinely look well taken care of.

Johan na

I wouldn't normally go to zoos on holidays, but my daughter really wanted to go. It's a lovely zoo, surrounded by city. Very peaceful. The seals were great fun, splashing and jumping around . They really put on a show. Fun if ypu have time, give yourself 3 hours at least.

Gerry R

Absolutely perfect zoo!! The buildings in the zoo were so fun and well done and it made us feel like we were at a theme park. So many animals and so well kept. This is one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to!! I have already recommended for anyone visiting to go here. It was very large and you could easily spend the entire day there. They are also adding a huge new area that looks like it’s going to be super nice and I want to go back and see that once it’s done!

Siim Metsla

Best zoo ever visited. Required minimum 3-4 hours to cover all the places. Highly recommended if u visit Berlin

Irene A.

I visited the zoo on December the sun was shining but the air was cold (-4) . many areas were under renovation and others were without animals within them. the indoor areas apart from the monkey area are less successful in my opinion. not the best time to visit here

Petar Ilin

One of the most beautiful and organized zoos I have ever seen in the world. There are a lot of animals from all around the world. Besides, the garden areas are amazing to walk with kids.

Casper Bergenhenegouwen

Great location, stunning design. A lot of cafes inside from bobble waffles to traditional german cousine or simple coffee. …

Tom L

Great place to take the kids, the new play area is a lot of fun (however targeted more to the older kids 4+).

omer s

Nice and informative zoo, great for the kids. The fact that it’s part of the Tiergarten makes it seem more natural. We spent about 3 hours there. Buy the tickets online to skip the queue

Arunima Gupta

Marie Li
