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 One of the best Aquariums I have visited. There are 3 floors, the 2nd and 3rd floor have insects, snakes, crocodiles etc...Buying a zoo+aquarium combined ticket way early to your visit is the best option and there is a lift available and wheelchair accessible.... I highly recommend visiting especially if you are visiting with kids...

5 Star Rating If you're a fan of aquariums in general, you'll probably love this place. Unfortunately one floor was closed off when we visited, but I thoroughly enjoyed the two floors we could access. This place has a great variation of fishes and reptiles, and even audience feedings of the crocodiles. Tip: save money by buying tickets online at least two weeks in advance. We visited on a Thursday morning and it was not too crowded. Biggest downside is the lack of information in English. Most tanks only had info in German next to them, with few exceptions.

5 Star Rating Not just fish! A beautiful sea life experience with extra space upstairs with many different reptiles. I spent well over 90 mins in here. It's recommended getting the dual ticket with the zoo for a complete day out.

4 Star Rating The place is a bit small, but they have beautiful fishes, corals, jelly fish, Koi pond where you can pet them, crocodiles, turtles, some lizards and snakes. You will need only 1-2hours to see all of it, I was there with my 2 little friends and after 1,5 hours the older one was already bored. I came when they were renovating the amphibian section, so I couldn‘t see it. The receptionist wasn’t friendly at all, which is weird. I give it 4 stars because there were not much to see, that makes it a bit pricey.
