Tiergarten Review

Claimed to be the world's oldest, the Tiergarten zoo has retained its original Baroque decor, but new settings have been created for both animals and public. In one case, the public looks out into a new, natural display area from one of the Baroque former animal houses. The zoo is constantly adding new attractions and undergoing renovations, so there's plenty to see.

    Wonderful zoo - baroque on the outside, all mod cons on the inside. We went on a snowy day and saw pandas rolling in the snow! There are no bars and you are a glass width away from cheetahs, tigers and jaguars. Annimals are spotless. Wish they didn't have polar bears but these show no signs of distress. Have lunch in rotunda restaurant and enjoy the gardens.
