Aquarium Berlin
Aquarium Berlin is a stand-alone attraction at Zoo Berlin in Tiergarten Park. We feature Zoo Berlin on a separate page.
You can visit the Berlin Aquarium without seeing the Zoo, but if you buy a combination ticket, you can see both for significantly less than the price of individual tickets.
Built in 1913, it's one of the largest aquariums in Germany. The exhibits take up three floors with over 9000 animals covering 800 species. About 250 plant species integrated into the exhibits provide habitat for the animals and insects.
On the lower floor you will discover fish, coral reefs, jellyfish, seahorses, and the giant 260,000 litre Shark Tank containing blacktip reef sharks, hammerhead sharks and nurse sharks.
On the second level you will be intrigued by a large assortment of reptiles in Crocodile Hall. Besides crocodiles, you will discover a variety of turtles, caiman lizards, gharials, snakes and even butterflies.
The top level of the aquarium houses an insectarium featuring amphibians and insects including frogs, ants, tarantulas, and praying mantis.
Be sure to include a visit to this world-class aquarium in your travel itinerary.

Aquarium Berlin Reviews
Rated out of 5![]()
It’s fascinating to feel like a sea diver, observing various species of aquatic animals, amphibians, and reptiles. Each floor of the building showcases a different class of the animal kingdom. It’s worth every penny spent!

Berlin Aquarium is a great place for families and kids. It features a wide variety of fish, sea creatures, reptiles, and insects. The layout is well-organized, and it’s easy to navigate even with strollers.
We especially loved the coral reef tanks and the crocodile section — beautiful colors and thoughtfully designed exhibits.
The ticket price is a bit on the higher side, but it’s worth it, especially if you get the combined ticket with the zoo. Some areas (like the insect section) were under renovation, but most of the aquarium was open.
Perfect for a visit of around 1.5 to 2 hours. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Berlin with kids!

Absolutely incredible aquarium!
I definitely recommend visiting—it’s perfect for both adults and kids. All the creatures look well cared for and in good health. You can easily spend hours exploring the fascinating and diverse ecosystems on display.

Great for kids, the aquarium itself is only on the ground floor. First and second floors have other animals/insects.
Can easily combine the zoo and aquarium on a single day.

BEST Aquarium I’ve ever experienced. I especially liked the sharks, the monster with the koi fish, the skinny mouth gator, the eel that’s friends w the lion fish, jellyfish, and the bugs. I saw lobsters fighting for a mate, the big one won. Super recommended. Maybe you’ll connect with your inner child. But cool animals are guaranteed.
