From November 20 to January 9, Tierpark Berlin transforms into a magical fairytale world. With Christmas at the Zoo (“Weihnachten im Tierpark”), one of the capital’s most popular winter highlights returns, inviting visitors to enjoy an atmospheric evening stroll unlike any other.
What awaits you along the illuminated trail:
Impressive light installations, twinkling stars, mystical light tunnels, and vibrant displays of dancing lights—all perfectly complemented by atmospheric music.
A new, carefully curated path winds through the park after dark, passing by the festively illuminated Friedrichsfelde Palace. Visitors will also find a beautiful ice rink on-site, where you can skate beneath a canopy of sparkling lights (skate rentals are available).
Along the route, numerous cozy huts offer a place to pause and enjoy warm beverages—such as mulled wine and punch—as well as a variety of winter treats.
