Zoologischer Garten Berlin

Our Berlin Local Expert says:

The zoo is packed full of animals of all shapes and sizes. The children's petting zoo is a worthwhile attraction where kids can touch and feed farmyard animals. Be sure to head for the bear enclosure where you'll find Knut - the city's beloved new polar bear cub.

Knut was famously hand reared by zoo keeper, Thomas Dörflein, after his mother Tosca rejected him in 2006. The fluffy bear cub attracted millions of tourists from around the world and has since grown into a healthy 2.5m tall, 210kg adult bear.

Visitors can either enter the zoo through the exotically-designed Elephant Gate beside the aquarium or through the Lion Gate directly opposite the Zoologischer Garten train station.
