Animals...... I love them!…read more So given the name of this place, its target audience is children and not adults like myself, but I can't help but be drawn to a petting zoo of sorts in the middle of a park. Walk through the gates and you can see a variety of animals. There are chickens everywhere, and other kinds of birds like ducks and geese. There is a barn full of rabbits and guinea pigs with super silly names bestowed upon them by the children who feed and take care of them. There is a pig old sow, who is scary looking... don't mess with her! And there are sheep, and goats, and DONKEYS! Oh man, I love the donkeys! You can pet the animals if they are near or watch them from afar. I also love strolling by the outside and seeing them making their loops around the yard. If you have little ones, definitely take them here for a comfortable and easy-going (plus safe) introduction to/interaction with farm animals. Best of all? It's free!

One word: Pandas!…read more After making my son tour many historic sights and learn lots of German history, we headed to the zoo! The enclosures bring you surprisingly close to the animals! However (IMO) the habitats to lack in true habitat and many enclosures are mini prisons; I hope this will be improved upon. I know zoos do truly care for the animals they host.

A lovely place to spend you entire day in Berlin. It's a zoo but technically it's much more, the…read moreanimals doesn't seems they are living in captivity. It feels a lot like their natural environment. There is a lot for everyone. For kids there are big play areas including water play areas and lot of activities to enjoy. Its a vast stretch of area and lot of beautiful stretches for a lovely walk even with a narrow stream flowing with bridges to cross in certain green tracks to enjoy your stroll. Also for kids who love dinosaur there is an entire stretch of area with life size dinosaurs that makes movement n sounds as well to give a real feel .Its so big that I feel almost a whole day feels less to explore everything. They provide free map of the area right at the entrance .For people who don't want to or like to walk a lot there is also a train to take you around the place.

Pandas were the only reason I wanted to come to this zoo, but I ended up seeing and loving the…read morewhole park! Full disclosure, I do love zoos. But as I said, I specifically came here to see the pandas, because I'd never seen one in real life. It was only after I got back home that I remembered that this was the zoo where the lady with mental issues climbed into the polar bear exhibit to swim with them. Yikes! It's a great zoo. The grounds were immaculate with wide, winding pathways. There was plenty of room indoors and out, both for the humans and non-humans. I enjoyed watching the anteater waddle around; an animal I have seen before, but my hometown zoo doesn't have one. I thought the aviary part where you walk through with the ground dwelling birds was pretty neat. My zoo has something like that, but the birds are all tree dwellers, save a few ducks. We saw the bald eagle and gave him/her a little salute, and watched as the kudu chased the ostriches. Of course, the pandas were my favorite part. The babies and mom were off exhibit the day we went, but we got to see dad rolling around the outdoor exhibit before taking a nap. The gift shop was great. It had a huge variety of souvenirs to buy, and I had a difficult time making up my mind what to get. Most of my items were panda themed, but I walked away with one or two things to remind me of the overall zoo as well. Education, conservation, preservation...this zoo has and does it all. 86/2025

Definitely one of my favorite zoo experiences - I thought I would only need 90 minutes but I really…read moreneeded 3 hours for this experience . In that timeframe I was not even able to make it to the aquarium. I felt like I could get so close to so many animals - there was more than enough opportunities to get photos of animals at different angles and environments. They've put a lot interesting design into the areas and buildings, giving a lot of character to the whole experience. I found it a bit hard to navigate the zoo and got turned around several times, which likely contributed to my long visit . Restrooms were also not as easily accessible , one being down a flight of stairs. Overall - well worth the money.

Great aquarium only thing is I wish it had more jellyfish!!! We went on a Monday and it was a…read more pretty laidback adventure. Not a lot of crowds so it was fairly easy to navigate.

I have to say i was sceptical about this zoo. I've been to quite a few in my years and none have…read morereally impressed me that much. This one was however AWESOME! From the moment we walked in there was massive gorillas, baboons, elephants....you name it! Hardly any were in cages or enclosures and the animals all looked happy being outside in the open. The variety of animals was quite astounding and even after spending 6 hrs there i don't think we quite seen everything. It was 20 Euro's for Zoo and Aquarium passes which is very reasonable and well worth it! :)
