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.

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.

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.

Amazing place, even under construction. Lots of beautiful fishes and great exhibitions. Three stories with fishes, amphibians and insects. Great addition to the zoo trip.

The Aquarium Berlin, established in 1913 as part of the Berlin Zoological Garden, ranks among the world's most biodiverse public aquariums. Housing over 9,000 animals across 800 species, it features diverse exhibits from vibrant coral reefs and impressive sharks to fascinating insects and amphibians. Don't miss the crocodile hall and the jellyfish collection!

Aquarium Berlin is an amazing place that goes beyond just being an aquarium—it’s a full-on wildlife experience! I was really impressed by how much there was to see, not just the incredible marine life but also reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. It felt like exploring multiple different worlds all in one visit.
The aquatic exhibits are definitely the highlight, with massive tanks showcasing both freshwater and saltwater species. The jellyfish displays were mesmerizing, and the coral reef tanks were filled with bright, colorful fish. Seeing sharks, rays, and exotic deep-sea creatures up close was an unforgettable experience.
But what really made Aquarium Berlin stand out for me was that it didn’t stop at just fish. On the upper floors, there’s an incredible collection of reptiles, amphibians, and insects. From massive snakes to vibrant frogs and creepy but fascinating insects, there was so much more to explore than I expected. It added a whole new level to the visit and made it feel like more than just an aquarium—it was a mini-zoo as well.
The entire facility was clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, with informative displays in both English and German. It’s obvious that a lot of care goes into keeping the animals and exhibits in top shape. Some of the enclosures, particularly for the reptiles, felt a bit small, but overall, the variety and quality of the exhibits made up for it.
I also really liked that Aquarium Berlin is part of the Berlin Zoo complex, so if you’re planning a visit, it’s worth making time for both. Whether you’re into marine life, reptiles, or just love seeing unique creatures up close, this place is a must-visit.
Overall, Aquarium Berlin is way more than just an aquarium—it’s a full-on wildlife adventure! Highly recommended for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for an educational and fun experience in Berlin.
