Animal Activities Berlin

Animal Activities in Berlin: A Guided Tour

✨ Berlin Zoological Garden (Tiergarten Schönbrunn) 🐾

• One of Europe’s oldest zoos, boasting over 20,000 animals across 1,500 species. Highlights include the giant pandas, African elephants, and aquarium with a tropical rainforest habitat.
• Address: Zoologischer Garten Berlin, Zoo, 10789 Berlin, Germany
• Hours: Daily from 9 am to 6 pm (last admission at 4 pm)

🦁 Africarium 🐘

• Part of the Berlin Zoological Garden, Africarium is a must for animal lovers. It offers an immersive experience with African wildlife including hippos, lions, and gorillas.

🐠 Aquarium Berlin 🐟

• Next door to the Zoologischer Garten and covered by the combined zoo-and-aquarium ticket, it runs three floors of tanks plus a crocodile hall and an insectarium under one roof.
• Address: Budapester Strasse 32, 10787 Berlin, Germany
• Note: Berlin’s two city-centre aquariums have both gone. The AquaDom burst in December 2022 and SEA LIFE Berlin shut for good in December 2024, so this is the one that remains.

🦚 Insectarium 🐛

• A unique attraction dedicated to the world of insects. Learn about different species, their habitats, and their importance in our ecosystems.
• Address: Kanzlerstrasse 78, 14193 Berlin, Germany
• Hours: Tuesday - Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm (last admission at 5 pm)

🦅 Tierpark Berlin 🐘

• Berlin’s second and much larger zoo, out in Friedrichsfelde, built around a baroque palace and its grounds. Far quieter than the Zoologischer Garten and easier with a pushchair.
• Address: Am Tierpark 125, 10319 Berlin, Germany
• Hours: Daily, with seasonal closing times, last admission an hour before
