Christmas in the zoo!
A luminous highlight at Tierpark Berlin. It’s the most wonderful time of the year when the twinkling evening circular walk finally lights up Europe’s largest zoo again. This winter, the walk takes a different route with entirely new worlds of lights, which will surprise even our visitors from previous years. Artistic projections and millions of lights bathe the historic Friedrichsfelde Palace in a magnificent guise, creating a unique atmosphere of starry magic in East Berlin. Weihnachten im Tierpark offers unique photo opportunities, playful interaction, romantic settings and a tranquil Christmas atmosphere. After walking the path, you can warm up by the crackling fire, enjoy winter specialities and relax. Friends and families can experience a fairy-tale evening during Advent and be transported into a heavenly festive world by thousands of lights.
