Outdoor event ★ 2G ★ Full hygiene concept
The open-air event Weihnachten im Tierpark is open. In the interest of all and due to the current developments, a switch was made to the 2G (vaccinated and recovered) regulation. With controlled admission, personalized ticketing, reduced capacity and one-way procedures on the creatively designed circular route, and admission every 30 minutes, Weihnachten im Tierpark is a safe open-air event concept.
In this way, crowding is avoided and spacing can be maintained very well on the extensive grounds. The hygiene concept of the Corona Protection Ordinances of Berlin will of course be implemented and partially over-fulfilled. We ask that tickets be purchased online in advance to support contactless entry. We run the event safely and responsibly and ask everyone for understanding for the circumstances.

Weihnachten im Tierpark – the glittering highlight at Tierpark Berlin
After the great premiere in 2019, “Weihnachten im Tierpark” will reopen its doors again in 2021. At this year’s wintry highlight the Tierpark Berlin will be illuminated for the second time! Millions of lights wrap the largest zoo in Europe as well as the historic Friedrichsfelde Castle in a true starry magic and thus provide an extraordinary and contemplative atmosphere in the east of Berlin. “Weihnachten im Tierpark” is a pleasant alternative to the traditional Christmas markets: no hectic hustle and bustle but an idyllic atmosphere during a walk together through the festively lit park.
Even more beautiful and impressive than the first year!
“Weihnachten im Tierpark” will lure visitors to the Tierpark Berlin in winter 2021 with new brilliant illuminations. At dusk, visitors will begin a mysterious walk through the atmospherically illuminated park, passing wonderfully illuminated plant worlds and glowing animal figures. This year, visitors can discover many new highlights, such as the graceful chimes, through which one can walk to enjoy the interplay of light and sound, or the jungle, in which visitors walk through lasers, light and fog and are spectacularly staged themselves. A sparkling festival of light art awaits our guests. If you don’t take out your camera or smartphone to capture those special moments, it’s your own fault. Snapshots can be shared under the following hashtag #weihnachtenimtierpark.

Admission
At the bear window of Tierpark Berlin you will find the entrance of Weihnachten im Tierpark. There is no entrance allowed via the gate at the castle (exit only).
In order to provide you with the safest and most atmospheric experience possible, admission for visitors is limited per 30 minutes. Please appear during the admission time indicated on your ticket and pass the entrance within the half hour indicated on your ticket.
Admission is limited because we want to make sure that not too many people are in the Tierpark at the same time and that each of our visitors can enjoy a relaxing winter walk. Experience shows that especially the weekends and early evening hours are very popular. We therefore recommend that all those who are flexible should visit during the week from 7:00 pm.
In the interest of everyone and due to current developments, Weihnachten im Tierpark has switched to the 2G (vaccinated and convalescent) rule. Please pay attention to our current information on this matter! We only accept the digital vaccination certificate (Corona warning app, CovPass app, Luca app) or the corresponding QR code of the vaccination certificate in printed form.
