About Berlin Zoo (Zoologischer Garten)
One of the oldest and most comprehensive zoos in the world, founded in 1844, with over 20,000 animals of 1,200 species. The zoo sits next to the Tiergarten and is directly accessible from Zoo Station (Zoologischer Garten U/S-Bahn). The aquarium building (separate or combo ticket) has a crocodile hall, insectarium, and a walk-through jellyfish tunnel. The panda enclosure draws the biggest crowds. It is a full-day experience for families or a half-day for adults who want the highlights.
Insider Tips
Enter from the Elephant Gate on Budapester Strasse for the most impressive entrance. The combo ticket (zoo + aquarium, EUR27 adults) is worth it if you have 4+ hours. The aquarium building is air-conditioned, making it the best section on hot days. Feeding times are posted at the entrance - the penguin feeding is the best show.
