Berlin Zoological Garden
Zoologischer Garten Berlin
Germany's oldest zoo, opened in 1844 and among the most species-rich in the world. The Chinese giant panda house and the aquarium are the biggest draws.
Berlin Zoo lies at the southwest corner of Tiergarten park. It keeps about 20,000 animals of more than 1,300 species, making it one of the most species-rich zoos in the world. The giant pandas Meng Meng and Jiao Qing, and the twin cubs born here, are very popular, and the Chinese-style elephant gate at the entrance is a landmark. The aquarium can be visited separately or on a combined ticket. The zoo costs about €25, and the combined ticket about €35. It is a 3-minute walk from S/U-Bahn Zoologischer Garten.
