Tiergarten Bernburg, Park and zoo in Bernburg, Germany
Tiergarten Bernburg is an 8.5 hectare facility housing over 1000 animals from 125 different species and breeds in natural enclosures. The animals are arranged in geographical sections representing Africa, Eurasia, Australia, and America.
The facility was established in 1909 and has developed into a key conservation program for endangered species in Saxony-Anhalt. Today it participates in international breeding programs that help protect animal species from extinction.
The name comes from an old hunting forest that once defined this area. Today visitors walk through sections representing different parts of the world, observing how various animals live and interact in spaces designed to feel natural.
The park is open daily with adjusted hours depending on the season, so checking ahead helps plan your visit. The grounds are easy to walk around, with clear paths connecting the different animal sections throughout the property.
Visitors can hand-feed sheep, goats, and deer using specialized food, which creates a memorable interaction especially for children. The meerkat enclosure and cheetah savanna are favorite spots for watching and photographing animals up close.
