Berlin Zoo (Zoologischer Garten)

Zoos are frequently top attractions for families, and the Zoologischer Garten Berlin is no different. More than 14,000 animals including zebras, lions and roadrunners, make their home here, nestled in the southwestern curve of the Tiergarten. You can find the Zoologischer Garten off a U-bahn and the S-bahn station by the same name.

Open daily, the zoo offers shortened hours in the winter months. If you're also interested in bidding a "Guten tag" to the aquatic animals housed at the nearby aquarium, you can save some euros by purchasing a combined ticket. Several recent TripAdvisor travelers were a bit disappointed in the high price of admission, especially for the combined ticket. (Some also said the aquarium was not really worth seeing). And several others were displeased by the lack of English signage.
