Tierpark Berlin

Tierpark Berlin

Located in the Lichtenberg district, this zoo was established in 1955 during the East German era. It serves as a wildlife park where visitors can observe a wide variety of animal species in large enclosures. It is primarily visited by those seeking a relaxed walk in-nature environment for walking and animal watching.

Getting There

The park is situated in the eastern part of the city. From the city centre, it is accessible via the Berlin S-Bahn or U-Bahn networks. Depending on the starting point in Mitte, the journey typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Due to the expansive size of the grounds and the number of animal exhibits, visitors should allow at least half a day to a full day to explore the area without rushing.

When to Visit

The experience varies by season, with animals more active during the warmer months. To avoid the largest crowds, visiting on weekdays or during early morning hours is recommended. The park can become crowded during school holidays and weekends.

Combining with Other Attractions

Because of its location in the east, this site can be paired with other eastern landmarks. Nearby options include:

  • East Side Gallery (5.9km)
  • Alexanderplatz (8.4km)
  • Marienkirche (Berlin-Mitte) (8.8km)
  • Humboldt Forum (9km)
