Top Nature Spots in Berlin

Don’t skip the petting zoo area—it's often overlooked but so much fun, especially if you're with kids.

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!

If you’re into photography, the golden hour right before closing time is perfect for that soft, magical light! I regret not bringing my camera out then.

Check out the tropical houses first! They’re amazing and busy later in the day. I thought they’d be crowded, but they were super chill in the morning

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.
