Top Nature in Berlin

Try to visit on a weekday early morning around 9 AM to avoid the crowds. The animals are also more active, and you can have a better experience taking photos.

Pack a light lunch or snacks! The food inside can be pricey and not that great. Find a nice spot for a picnic instead.

Check for the feeding times of the animals you want to see; some are only during certain hours and they're fun to catch!

I recommend downloading the zoo’s app before you visit. It has maps and schedules, which really helped me navigate the exhibits and plan my route.

Consider getting a combo ticket with the Museum of Natural History if you plan to visit both. It’s a great deal and saves you some cash.

Bring a picnic! There are lovely spots to relax amongst the flowers, and the food in the cafe was okay but a bit pricey.

Wear comfy shoes and be ready to walk - the garden is huge! I didn’t realize how big it was and quickly regretted my cute but impractical sandals.

Plan your visit on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds are intense, and I found it hard to enjoy the peaceful vibe with so many people around.
