Can we bring a stroller?

Yes, the paths work for strollers, though parts of the loop are uneven. Dogs, bikes, balance bikes and sleds are not allowed.

How does timed entry work?

Your ticket has a 20-minute entry window. Arrive within it and you can stay as long as you like. Kids under 6 are free, and kids 6 to 14 must come with an adult.

Take the U5 to Tierpark (about 15 minutes from Alexanderplatz), tram M17, 27 or 37, or bus 296 or 396. Public transport is not included in the ticket. Parking is €5, card only.

What if the weather is bad?

It runs in rain and snow, and tickets are not refunded for bad weather. Evenings get cold and wet, so dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes.
