Current restrictions
Like at any modern zoo, work at Tierpark Berlin is never really done. We are constantly trying to improve the Tierpark to make it a better place and more beautiful for animals and visitors alike. That is why you may come across construction work during your visit. Below you can find information on current construction projects and other restrictions.
Precautionary measure against avian influenza
Tierpark Berlin has taken several precautionary measures to protect against the highly contagious avian flu. Among other things, most bird species have been moved to their winter quarters. The tropical hall in the Alfred Brehm House is temporarily closed. These measures are intended to ensure the wellbeing and safety of our animals. The bird show and penguin feeding will not take place until further notice.
Flamingos and pelicans
Currently, modern aviaries are being built for flamingos and pelicans in the central park area. During the construction work, the flamingos are temporarily out of sight and are spending their time "backstage on vacation." The pelican aviary, covering approximately 1,500 m², will be integrated into the wading bird meadow and will span part of the pond with an island as well as a spacious shoreline area. The flamingo aviary will cover an area of around 1,800 m². Both facilities are scheduled for completion before 2026.
Elephant House
Tierpark Berlin will soon be home to one of the biggest and most modern elephant houses in Europe. Since a construction site is not a suitable home for Elephants, our gentle giants have temporarily been moved to other zoos.
Get ready to watch herds of African elephants roam across their new spacious savanna habitat, once construction work is completed!
