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.
