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.
