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 4.5 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Very well maintained aquarium. Lots of fish including piranhas, sharks, tortoises, snakes from all over the world are placed nicely. The walking corridor is bit narrow and distance between the display is very limited. Only 2-3 people can view at a time and others have to wait. Worth visiting with family. Great learning place for kids.

4 Star Rating Bought the tickets with Zoo, spent 3-4 hours in zoo I was thinking it will be at least 1-2 hours but it was shorter, there are really nice species in the Aquarium specially the jellyfish section was breath taking but overall it felt bit less after the zoo. Still really nice place to visit, I would recommend to buy tickets with zoo, there is a place for leaving the jackets but need to be paid, most places offer lockers where you deposit couple of euros for key and you take it back before you leave.

5 Star Rating The aquarium was under construction so you can't enter it from the zoo. We bought tickets ahead of time. It was warm. Nice little selection of aquatic animals and snakes. Some sharks, fish, jelly fish, sea horses, sting rays, eels, and lizards. There is seating throughout.

5 Star Rating It was really interesting and pretty to see all the fish, the 2 hours tickets were perfect, got to see all the exhibits (in slow pace) and still had 20 minutes left, the atmosphere was good and fitting, overall had a great time, the place is also good for kids
