Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde – the largest and most beautiful landscape zoo in Europe
Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde is open 365 days a year to its visitors from near and far – also on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Covering 160 hectares this landscape zoo has yet to meet its match. Here await you spacious open-air enclosures for herds of hoofed animals, great expanses of water for waterfowl and flamingos, and impressive animal houses (Alfred-Brehm-Haus for big cats and tropical birds; the pachyderm house for elephants, rhinoceroses, and sea cows; the hummingbird and crocodile house; and the house for African primates). A visit to the snake farm presents you with one of Europe’s greatest collections of venomous snakes in the one display terrarium. New additions to our facilities now cater to Asian and European mountain animals and Japanese macaques.
In excess of one million visitors every year converge on our zoo to relax and seek refuge from everyday stress. On a stroll through our facilities you will find there is much worth knowing about animal life.
The historical centre of the zoo is Schloß Friedrichsfelde, or Friedrichsfelde Palace, now converted into a museum with the original north and south ground floors you can also view.
The Berlin motorway ring road, exit Schönefeld or Vogelsdorf, makes it especially easy for tourist parties to reach our zoo on the B1 (road “Am Tierpark”). In the city zone itself all directions to the zoo are signposted.
