    The funny thing is that half of the zoo is outside of the entrance, so if you decide not to visit the zoo you can still watch half of it before the actual visit. It’s a small entrance price but the vicarium is so cool I really recommend going in. I saw happy animals, beautiful plants and beautiful enclosures! Its a small zoo but still nice to drop by on your trip to Bern! ✌🏼🇨🇭

    My three year old (and I) loved this zoo. It's a really kid-friendly zoo experience. She really liked the inside bit at the entrance. If you're in Bern... definitely checkout the zoo.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bern Zoo and I must say, it was quite an experience. The zoo is immaculately maintained, with clean walking paths and well-fed animals. The enclosures are spacious and mimic the natural habitats of the creatures living in them. I especially enjoyed the variety of animals on display, from exotic birds to majestic bears. However, one downside was the limited selection of food options on offer. Also, some enclosures were difficult to see into due to foliage blocking views or animal activity occurring far away from viewing areas. Despite these minor setbacks, I would highly recommend visiting Bern Zoo to anyone looking for a fun day out with a little bit of education thrown into the mix!

    The zoo is quite small, although that is also visible in the relatively cheap tickets. The zoo is kept clean, staff is friendly, and it is easy to find your away around the zoo. However, it is not the most tourist friendly zoo - most of the information boards are written in Swiss or French. If you have a few hours to kill while visiting Bern I would definitely recommend visiting the zoo.

    Beautiful and exotic collection of animals with a very modern and humane way of cativity. It's definitely a fun activity for kids and tourists in Bern.

    There aren’t that many animals, but the experience is quite interesting as many of the exhibits are outside and makes use of natural environments (such as the side slope for the goats to climb up and down etc) and the river outside that adds to the ambiance. I can see how families with young children will enjoy this place. But the food is quite mediocre so I recommend to pack some snacks instead of buying there, haha.

    Ich fand den gestrigen Tag (10.7.23) super, es war das erste mal das ich mich in einem Tierpark wohlfühlte. Ich hatte das Gefühl von den Tieren eingeladen worden zu sein. Super Tag super Wetter und ganz viele niedliche Tiere.

    Nice place for kids, large area, many playground but limited number of animals for viewing. The petting area is highly recommended for toddlers.

    Lovely made Zoo, where certain animals got more space than in bigger Zoos. Thru the week it is pretty quiet and awesome with kids. A playground and food is available as well. The entry ticket compared for what it is, is absolutely reasonable. An absolute go.

    Great park for children. Adapted for all age categories with a lot of shadow and a few playgrounds. There is also a significant part that is free of charge along the river Are. Perfect for hot days as the park is half in the forest. The entry fee is quite reasonable, but the takeaway restaurant is quite expensive even for simple, high margin meals. OK if some part of the benefits goes to the park itself tho, but cannot confirm.

    Always pleasant to go and relax together with the animals at Bern Zoo. It has both free and paid areas, and would recommend to go im the spring or early summer. I have experienced that period to be most beautiful of all.

  • 5/5 Eleanna A. 2 years ago on Google
    Due to winter we didn't see all the animals at the park but walking around in nature and by the river was very nice! We saw many species and had a lovely relaxing day there!

  • 4/5 George T. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time at your park. Everything is well organized, clean with various animals. We are very satisfied. The only problem was with an old employee at the reception/cashier. I asked her 3 times to give me the password of the wifi. There is wifi only for the guest as I noticed (TPB GAST). But she refused to give the password 3 times. She replied, "I am not allowed to give you the password". I explained to her very politely that I need it for 5 minutes (work emergency) and I told her that there is wifi only for guests. She was very cold, unfriendly, and unprofessional. How on earth a great establishment like this does not support wifi for guests ??? Please change her position TODAY. It is better for the park, to replace her and tell her to feed the animals. Anyway, not having contact with people. Apart from this incident, everything else was just perfect!

    Right next to Aare river is the Tiere park. Really great place for kids and adults alike. There's so many things for the senses. Around are various animals and colourful trees. Sip coffee while listening to the calming current of the river. Fresh air is always in abundance any day.

    Great place for family and kids, the entrance of the Zoo has farm animals available to see and sometimes touch, all for free! There is also a coffee/tea room. If you go up the road, there is a park for kids and the zoo. You have to pay to enter the zoo, it's not too expensive and they have a good choice for animals. It's not big but interesting and nice to visit. Parking can be complicated but a little walk from the car works. All in all, it's a place worth visiting and spending an afternoon there.

    One of the best zoo parks that I have visited. Beautiful and modest. I really enjoyed it.

  • 5/5 Sabine F. 1 year ago on Google
    The Dählhölzli Zoo has been a staple even back when I was a kid. I love that we have this place for all to visit, where kids can interact with and learn about animals - for free! Sure, only certain areas are free to visit, but that includes a big playground and the petting zoo, which is more than enough to keep a 3yo entertained for an afternoon.

  • 5/5 Dr. med. M C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park, expecially for families with young kids

  • 3/5 Dora D. 1 year ago on Google
    Most animals are absent (or hiding, I dont know, I didnt see anyone in most of cages), 3 stars only for ant farm and 2 feline species

    Great place to spend the day with the family. It’s a little hard to get around with a stroller though as the entrance is on a steep slope but otherwise it was a great experience

  • 5/5 Philipp B. 11 months ago on Google
    Sehr ruhig, gut für kleine Kinder. Auch für interessierte Erwachsene ein guter Ausflug. Es gibt auch Teile die man ohne Eintritt besuchen kann, zum Beispiel auch die Frischlinge der Wildschweine. Bei unserem Besuch, waren manche Vögel noch in einer Karantäne wegen der Vogelgrippe, dies fand ich sehr vorbildlich! Weiter so!

    Ein kleiner aber feiner Zoo, Ideal mit Kindern. Wir waren bei schlechtem Wetter dort, was auch kein Problem ist. Der Innenbereich mit Terrarien und Aquarien lädt auch zu längerem verweilen ein. Allerdings war das Restaurant ziemlich voll und wir haben keinen Platz mehr gefunden.

  • 5/5 Day W. 8 months ago on Google
    Easy access and we spent 3-4 hours to walk the zoo, we get so close to the bears.

  • 5/5 tho hema (. 6 months ago on Google
    Sehr schöne Gehege. Für mich als Laien sahen die Gehege auch so aus als würde man den Tieren so gut wie eben im Zoo möglich Raum und die richtige Umgebeung zu Verfügung stellen. Auch die Terrarien sahen schön aus die Tiere konnten sich auch wenn gewollt zurückziehen also ist nicht als reine zur Schaustellung sonder mit Herz bei der sache.Ich komme jeder zeit gerne wieder Grüße aus Deutschland.
