Aquarium Berlin is an amazing place that goes beyond just being an aquarium—it’s a full-on wildlife experience! I was really impressed by how much there was to see, not just the incredible marine life but also reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. It felt like exploring multiple different worlds all in one visit.

The aquatic exhibits are definitely the highlight, with massive tanks showcasing both freshwater and saltwater species. The jellyfish displays were mesmerizing, and the coral reef tanks were filled with bright, colorful fish. Seeing sharks, rays, and exotic deep-sea creatures up close was an unforgettable experience.

But what really made Aquarium Berlin stand out for me was that it didn’t stop at just fish. On the upper floors, there’s an incredible collection of reptiles, amphibians, and insects. From massive snakes to vibrant frogs and creepy but fascinating insects, there was so much more to explore than I expected. It added a whole new level to the visit and made it feel like more than just an aquarium—it was a mini-zoo as well.

The entire facility was clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, with informative displays in both English and German. It’s obvious that a lot of care goes into keeping the animals and exhibits in top shape. Some of the enclosures, particularly for the reptiles, felt a bit small, but overall, the variety and quality of the exhibits made up for it.

I also really liked that Aquarium Berlin is part of the Berlin Zoo complex, so if you’re planning a visit, it’s worth making time for both. Whether you’re into marine life, reptiles, or just love seeing unique creatures up close, this place is a must-visit.

Overall, Aquarium Berlin is way more than just an aquarium—it’s a full-on wildlife adventure! Highly recommended for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for an educational and fun experience in Berlin.

Better than expected!

Sure, many water tanks are being renovated, but the aquarium is still worth a visit! Many reviews are overly negative, and i don't understand how you can spend less than 2 hours here. There are a lot of interesting animals that deserve a few minutes to be observed to grasp a tiny bit of their behaviour. We saw snakes mating, varans mating, and there is a very good selection of sea creatures that surprised me (and i'm a biologist). I particularly appreciated the part with the insects where the buccal appendixes are compared (second floor). Very informative and a nice way to teach Evolution to my son.

I still have some constructive feedback, as the aquarium is actively looking at the reviews, as there are a couple of missed opportunity:
- Evolution can be more present throughout, to see better how distant some species are (for instance the sharks, or the octopus, whose intelligent is unique among invertebrates).

-plants: it would have been nice to see, especially in the insect area, the name of the plant species exposed in the insect cages, or the reptiles

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...

Underwhelmed by the little space dedicated to sea life, and unfortunately they didn’t let us know that some part of the floor was closed to the public. Nonetheless, the opened part was good. Additionally, there are no lockers to leave your belongings :( thank you anyways
