Current Restrictions

Like at any modern zoo, work at Zoo Berlin is never really done. We are constantly trying to improve the zoo 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.

Construction works in the Aquarium

In the course of a general modernization, there are construction works in the Aquarium that cause restrictions – the following areas are affected currently:
 

  • The second floor is closed. This affects all reptile terrariums and the restaurant.
  • The first floor (the underwater world), is open with the exception of a few individual tanks. For example, the jellyfish, shark, and coral reef tanks are open as usual.
  • The thrid floor – the home of insects and amphibians – are open as usual.
  • Due to ongoing construction works, some areas of the Aquarium may be temporarily inaccessible for people with disabilities. If accessibility is important for your visit, it is recommended to contact info@aquarium-berlin.de in advance.
  • When bringing strollers and buggies, please ensure they are kept with you at all times and are not left unattended.
  • Unfortunately, no guided tours or workshops can be offered at the Aquarium currently. Only the animal encounters with the sharks continue to take place. There are no restrictions on the guided tour program at Zoo and Tierpark Berlin. Please find further information here or here.
     

Please note that these restrictions are subject to change at short notice.

Precautionary measure against avian influenza

The zoo 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 free-flight halls and the owl aviary are temporarily closed. These measures are intended to ensure the wellbeing and safety of our animals.

Antelope House

Due to extensive renovation and refurbishment work, the visitor hall of the Antelope House will be closed to guests until the end of November. The exhibition in the foyer will remain open throughout (except for a temporary closure from November 12–14).
