The zoo is really spacious, plenty of walking and well kept gardens between enclosures. We went to see the pandas which were somehow entertaining even when asleep. The teen also massively enjoyed the petting zoo where she got to feed the goats. It's good value for money and well worth a visit

My fiancé and I are in our late 20's and I can confirm that this zoo is not just for kids! There are so many animals within the zoo and the layout is amazing, giving you lots to see and do. We ended up spending over 4 hours in the zoo and were able to see everything, but we had to rush the last half an hour as we had a spa appointment, so I would recommend giving yourself lots of time to properly explore. Particular highlights for me were the petting zoo, the pandas, capybaras and the seals. Although I loved all of it! I would definitely recommend a visit when you're in the area

We visited Berlin Zoo on our last day in Berlin before heading to the airport, we spent about 3 hours there and it was quieter than we expected for a Friday which was good. I can see where people are coming from with the comments about small enclosures, but the animals looked content. The giant panda exhibit was very impressive and there was plenty of shady benches for a rest from the sun. I would recommend a visit here especially for the price of 20euro pp, you can see why the zoo's in the UK are more expensive though as they have much more space.

Not to be "that" person, but: I was very excited to see the big cats, but I didn't get to see any of them; except the leopard. It was raining, so he was hiding, which is understandable, of course! The thing is - the tiger(s), the lions and all the other big kitties were nowhere to be found. And there was no explanation or warning beforehand...I understand if it just happened that day, but it seems like maybe it has been like this for a few weeks, or even months now. The zoo could have said something about this on their website...

Came on a fairly warm day and pleasantly surprised at how it wasn’t as busy! We got there at 12 or so and stayed until 5:30 looking around, we didn’t even get to see everything (but we had seen enough!) Definitely go and see the gorilla feeding if you can, it was amazing and the gorillas are so active! Our highlights were the pandas, gorillas and the capybaras (do go to the separate area with the kangaroos and capybaras when it gets quieter, it was very peaceful) We were however disappointed at the lack of polar bears, due to all the statues of them and they’re advertisement on the website. I understand not having them due to the issue had however many years ago, but the enclosure is still there and not done anything with, grass and everything is now growing to show how long it’s been abandoned and it’s just an eyesore in the middle now. All the old signage is still up so they really need to change it or bring them back! I did however take issue with the really rude staff!! We are English and only speak the odd few German phrases. To be polite, we tried to order from one of the burger van places by the monkeys in German, and were met with snickers and laughs and mocking us (they were talking German to each other but I picked out English and Tourist) Absolutely awful treatment of a customer and that’s before we even get to the €5 small portion of chips. It was a good day all things considered, but the staffing really needs upgrading.

Best zoo we have visited, that includes Shanghai and Safari Parks. The animals have lots of room area and outside space foe every species. Visitors can go into areas where the animals are indoors, top to bottom windows. Even the hippo in the water, never been so close to such a huge beast. It started raining whilst we were there but the animals were still on show. Not a lot of staff about to help with directions etc. but those we did meet were very good. Plenty of refreshment places too, made it a great experience. Give yourself 3-4 hours to enjoy everything.

I loved it here! We walked from our hotel nr the Bradenburg gate right through the park first thing in the morning. We left at 8am and got there bang on 9 when it opened, it was such a nice walk and would strongly recommend doing it if you can. We booked online the night before so managed to bypass the ticket office. Head straight to the gate by the aquarium and they scan the pass on your phone and give you a map. We spent about 4 hours there but could have spent most of the day easily. The animals were all really active and looked happy. Out of all of the zoos I’ve been to wordwide, I’ve never seen so many staff cleaning the cages, feeding the animals, looking after the grounds etc. really clean and tidy park with good enclosures. We managed to see the pandas being fed as soon as we arrived and they were so cute and funny! The giraffes and elephants were all out in the sun and it was really nice seeing them all outside. There’s so many places to stop for a drink and food. The best locations are at the back near the wolves, a really nice restaurant with a huge menu and the food all looked incredible. We sat outside the bird enclosure with a coffee and it was really relaxing and quiet, with great service from everyone across the park. Really would recommend! There’s a nice history section in the indoor area where the giraffes are that tells you all about the history of the park and we thought that was interesting to know. Thanks for a great visit!

This zoo is massive. Even when busy it did not feel too crowded as it was big. Animals seemed well cared for. I would not recommend visiting first thing as most of the animals were asleep/ not out. We left and returned later in the morning and it was far better. There is a lot of walking so perhaps younger children may need a buggy for when they get tired!

Daughter wanted to visit as we had been some z13yrs before. Although not laid out with a fail proof ‘route’ the zoo is immaculately presented with a good range of Animals. We thoroughly enjoyed the wander through different areas and the giraffes were a highlight. The price was very reasonable and definitely better value than the equivalent in the UK.

An amazing zoo!! Great selection of animals and very clean! Great selection of snacks and drinks and cafes. We were particularly impressed with the amazing playground in the middle which the kids had to be coaxed out of after an hour! The best playground we’ve ever been to!
