Aquarium Berlin

Fantastic place to spend a coupel of hours exploring and enjoying the learning about all the type of fish they have there. It is a great place to take your kids as well. We really enjoyed our visit, and what was so nice, was how clean the place is and all those light effects in the different aquariums add a magical touch.

Family visit before we had to catch our train back. Recommended to anyone who hasn't visited yet. The variety and quality of the fish display is excellent. Each unique aquarium looks like a complete microcosm of the area being described, and the accompanying descriptions is at the right level for both young and old. The staff were very helpful with our massive pram and through the use of the lifts accessibility is no problem. Only downsides: they are currently renovating the first floor so the lizard section and cafeteria are not accessible. This is made very clear in the website before you buy tickets. Also the insect section on the second floor is disappointing compared to the excellent ground floor. Maybe that's next in line for renovation? Tip: buy tickets online and don't queue at the main gate

Great place for everyone. We visited the zoo and went there during our trip. We really enjoyed the exhibition, but unfortunately, the second floor was closed during our visit. As a single attraction, I would say it's small, you can walk through it in one hour, but it's a great addition to visit in the zoo.

The 2nd floor is closed, yet the ticket price remains full. The entry system is also frustrating; you can only enter once, and having to scan your ticket again just to exit is a total hassle. But still 4 stars cause the rest is still great

Aquarium Berlin: A Deep Dive into Nature’s Wonders ​If you are looking for an escape into the wild in the heart of City West, Aquarium Berlin is an absolute gem. Spanning three floors of a beautiful historic building, it offers far more than just "fish in tanks"—it’s a multi-sensory journey through oceans, rivers, and tropical jungles. ​The Highlights ​The Biodiversity: With over 13,000 animals and 1,000 species, the variety is staggering. From vibrant coral reef inhabitants and hauntingly beautiful jellyfish to the massive sharks on the ground floor, there is something to catch every eye. ​Beyond the Water: Unlike many urban aquariums, the upper floors transition into a world of reptiles, amphibians, and insects. The "Crocodile Hall" is a particular standout, offering a bridge-walk over the habitats that feels genuinely immersive. ​The Leafcutter Ants: Don't miss the glass tunnels where thousands of ants carry leaves right above your head. It’s a fascinating look at nature’s engineering that captivates both kids and adults. ​Historic Charm: The building itself, dating back to 1913, features stunning architecture and tile work that adds a layer of "Old World" Berlin elegance to the experience. ​Pro-Tips for Your Visit ​Timing: Since you live in Halle, it's a bit of a trip. The Aquarium opens daily at 9:00 AM. Arriving early is best to avoid the school groups and weekend crowds. ​Combo Tickets: If you have the whole day, consider a combo ticket with the Berlin Zoo right next door. It’s better value if you plan to see both. ​Accessibility: The facility is stroller and wheelchair friendly, though some of the older elevators can be a tight fit during peak hours. ​The Verdict ​Whether you’re a local or visiting from nearby, Aquarium Berlin remains one of the best educational and aesthetic experiences in the city. It’s peaceful, incredibly well-maintained, and offers a rare closeness to nature that is hard to find elsewhere.
