    A great "collection" of animals. The zoo has recreated its original habitat to make them comfortable and give you a better view of how they live.

    The Zoo is without doubt a frequently visited place for old and young
    Founded in 1844 by Prussian King William IV, the Zoologischer Garten is Europes oldest zoo. With 13,000 animals and 1,400 different species, the zoo is also one of the world's most popular. The nearby Aquarium opened in the 1930s.
    You can visit both with a combined ticket (Euro 16.5)
    Location : next to Zoo Station in the heart of the western city centre. I mentioned this name already a few times in my report : Budapester Strasse - near Tiergarten
    Kim and I had a great time here - except the food and drinks, but this is another story, look at my restaurant page

    Berlin Zoo is home to Skippy the kangaroo, Pretty Woman the gorilla and Kiri the elephant, to name just a few. Other attractions are the nocturnal animals and a pair of Chinese panda bears, although Yan-Yan's lack of sexual interest in her partner Bao-Bao has been talk of the town for years! During my visit Yan even didn’t show up.

    Next to Bahnhof Zoo you will find the oldest zoological garden of Germany (1844)
    A gift by Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
    The location is in the “Tiergarten” Park ( the names are little bit confusing ) – the greatest green area in the center of Berlin
    The surface is about 350.000 square meters – quantity of animals about 20.000
    and 1.500 different species
    Next to the Zoo is the Aquarium. It will learn you more about the mystery of the waterworld . A colourful world of fish – coral lines and jellyfishes.
    On the second floor you will see a world of reptiles – from snakes to crocodiles
    On the upper floor – there is a show of insects

    The area around Bahnhof Zoo had a bad reputation in the past ( read the book - Christiane F. Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo) but is now a popular spot for everybody.

    Berlin actually has two! The main zoo is in the city centre which is quite unusual. This one is the easiest to get to if you are visiting. The other is called the Tiergarten and is in what was formerly east Berlin and not to be mistaken for the area in Berlin called Tiergarten.

    Berlin Zoo is spacious and you will need at least half a day to walk around. The animals are kept in nice size enclosures and surrounded by pleasant gardens. There is also a petting zoo for the kids and several reatuarants that are not overpriced. Well worth a visit as the zoo has more variety of species than any other zoo in the world!

    Next to the zoo's main entrance is the Aquarium. You can buy seperate tickets for each or it is cheaper to buy for both.

    Entry to the zoo is € 11.00 for adults €8.00 for students and €5.50 for children. The aquarium is the same price but if you buy tickets for both adults is €16.50 students €13.00 and children €8.50.

    Also are available family day tickets, yearly tickets and family yearly tickets.

  • The Zoo in Berlin is the best museum I have ever been to hands down. It had every type of animal you can think of and they had adequate room to move around. It had elephants, tigers, sharks, Komoto dragons etc. I was in Berlin during a heat wave and just by chance I went to the zoo. It turned out to be on the most fun days in Germany and maybe all of Europe I had a blast!

    I was surprised at the poor condition of the Tiergarten. Living in Wiesbaden, every park is perfectly manicured. While I was just in the outskirts of the park, I felt like I was in a weed field. I'm sure the actual Tiergarten is beautiful (it is Germany after all), but the outskirts of the park where very run down and non taken care of.

    Park Tirgarten. Germans suited this huge park (three kilometers at length and kilometer at width) in the city centre. Once it was a warren where kurfursts hunted on hares, wild boars and deers. From the middle of the nineteenth century it became a place of walks and amusements. While we have mastered only that part of the park which is situated to the north of the prospectus of the Name on June, 17th. There is a lake Noue See and a set of fine lakes in its southern part . During the war the park was completely destroyed on fire wood and as a result bombardments. After the war Germans suited kitchen gardens here under potatoes and cabbage. Now it is set by trees and it is a lungs of the city.
