Berlin Zoo is a must-visit attraction for animal lovers and tourists alike. This historic zoo, located in the heart of Berlin, offers a diverse range of animals and exhibits. The enclosures are well-maintained, providing spacious and natural environments for the animals. The highlight for many visitors is the impressive panda exhibit, home to adorable giant pandas. The zoo also houses various big cats, primates, and a wide variety of birds and reptiles. It's a family-friendly destination with educational programs and plenty of informative signage. While it can get crowded, the overall experience is enjoyable, making it a great place to spend a day exploring the animal kingdom.
Really great Zoo and an oasis in the middle of the city. The animals have seemingly sufficient room an there is in general a lot of green space in the Zoo. Highlights are the panda’s of course, and lots and lots of other animals. Special recommendation for the aquarium.
First of all if you find yourself in Berlin you should definitely come and see it. It is an excellent park with many beautiful trees and the river next to it. Really great scenery. There are enough animals to see in some cases but at a very long distance. In other zoos you can and you see them up close. First time I saw Panda up close thanks to the compared zoo. Really wonderful experience that is worth it.
A very big zoo right in heart of the city Berlin. We visited the place on Wednesday afternoon. It was not so busy...very small line for ticket, not very crowded inside also.
There are lots of birds and animal inside the zoo and the facility to accommodate them is also very good. As a result one has to walk too much to vist all of them.
Detail map is there to help you understand the lay out of the zoo. Some of the cages were empty as some renovation work was going on or some animals were not available at that point of time but such were very less instances considering the size of the zoo. So no complaints on that front.
It took almost 3.5 hours to finish it without visiting aquarium(They charge it separately for aquarium).
Overall good experience especially for children they were excited to see so many different species of animal.
Do recommend it. But be prepared to walk.
Enjoy.

Incredible zoo! Huge one as well with tons of animals. Big enough that it allows crowds to spread out which provides a great viewing opportunity for every animal. Highly recommend visiting, takes about 4-5 hours for just the zoo. Recommend walking through it twice just to see animals moving around.
You can skip the aquarium, it’s nothing to note. Spend your time at the Zoo!

Amazing zoo! You'll need at least 5 or 6 hours to get through MOST of it. It's the smaller zoo, but it's still quite big. Some enclosures seemed to be roomy enough, others the animals seemed stressed because it was a small enclosure. The grounds were well kept, and it was VERY clean. Plenty of shade, snacks and animals.
It was really nice, one of the best zoos. The arrangement and the amount of animals are really awesome. Penguin, Kangaroos we’re my favourite. The aquarium is outstanding one, really amazed by the quantity and quality of the demonstrations.
Loved this zoo had wonderful animals and they all looked pretty healthy! My favorite would have to be the young panda it was so cute! I also went to the aquarium as well. It was ok but the zoo is definitely worth it!
It's amazing that such a large zoo can exist in the heart of a city. There were so many different animals to see, even after 4 hours I still missed some things. The zoo has a very pleasant cafe/restaurant area with good food and a really nice seating area. The zoo is pretty large so be prepared to walk. Also be aware that the aquarium next door is not part of the zoo and requires a separate admission. The zoo grounds are also very well kept and just as much worth looking at as the animals
If you're looking for an enjoyable outing, I highly suggest a visit to the aquarium. You can explore a variety of stunning sea creatures. The panda exhibit is a must-see as well. Whether you're with family or enjoying some solo time, it's a fantastic destination for any day of the week.
A fabulous 175 years old zoo! Elephants, giraffes, lions, pandas, flamingoes and many more animals in a lovely place full of trees with the best playground! You will need at least 3-4 hours to explore the zoo. The aquarium is also worth a visit. 1 hour should do for it.
Visiting Berlin's Zoo was an unforgettable experience, marked by well-maintained surroundings and thoughtfully designed enclosures. The premises radiate care and attention to detail, with animal welfare evidently being a top priority. The animals seemed comfortable, and it was heartwarming to see that no animal appeared to be suffering.
At a price of 20€ for a ticket (excluding the Aquarium), the experience was totally worth it. We spent nearly four hours exploring, even though we skipped some of the lesser attractions and focused on the more exotic ones like Giant Pandas, Tigers, Elephants, Gorillas, Orangutans, Malayan Sun Bears, Penguins, Anteaters and Rhinoceros. The time flew by as we immersed ourselves in the sights and sounds of these magnificent creatures.
The outdoor King Penguins were a particular delight, though a word of caution: the inside area had a noticeable stink, so be prepared.
The aesthetic appeal of the zoo was enhanced by statues scattered around, offering great photo opportunities. And the petting area, where you can interact with goats and sheep, was an absolute must-visit; a joy for both children and adults alike.
In conclusion, Berlin's Zoo is an enriching experience, worth every cent and minute spent. Whether you're an animal lover or just looking for a day of fun, it offers something for everyone.

Well designed and lot of open spaces to the animals. We stayed there for 6 hours and have to rush through to complete all areas.
They do have a sea lion show but it was OK, not the best of the shows.
Still, a good place to spend a day with family.

I really enjoyed walking around this zoo in the nice weather this week, and the animals seemed happy overall. I would highly recommend checking out the night time exhibit under the tigers and other cats along with the panda exhibit! The aquarium is definitely worth a visit to check out the jellyfish too!
