Tierpark Berlin is a large zoological park in the Friedrichsfelde quarter of Berlin, opened in 1955 and developed as the city’s major zoo during the postwar period. The park occupies extensive landscaped grounds with spacious enclosures intended for larger species and mixed collections.

The zoo focuses on species conservation, breeding programs and visitor education, with notable holdings of large mammals and hoofed animals alongside primates, birds and reptiles. Enclosures and facilities were expanded over decades to modernize habitats and visitor access.

Tierpark Berlin lies in the eastern part of Berlin near the Friedrichsfelde district and the historic Schloss Friedrichsfelde (Friedrichsfelde Palace), with public transport connections from central Berlin.

• Size and enclosures: Covers a very large, park-like area of roughly 160 hectares, giving it some of the most extensive enclosures of any European zoo and space for large mammals.

Tierpark is a short ride from the Lichtenberg area by S-Bahn and local tram or bus services; driving is possible with on-site parking options.

• Start at the Elephant House and then work through the more remote enclosures to avoid the busiest areas.
• Take the park's map and plan a clockwise loop - the Tierpark is large and hilly, and attractions are spread out.
• Check feeding times and keeper talks; these are an excellent way to see animals active and hear staff insights.
