Beautiful place and nice shopping malls nearly

We like the metro and trains. Station is good. Everything is clearly understandable. Displays shows waiting time till the next train.

That place from my favourite movie "Christiane F." ♡, but unfortunately no movie atmosphere

Loooooooooooved it! It's huge and you get to see loads of animals. The place is really clean and the animals look happy x

It is simply a cult station, in the moment full with adds about a new serial "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo"

Don’t get confused if you have to change the train. Like from S-Bahn to train or reverse. Take some extra minute they are mixed up a bit for the first time.
Shops; all the brands you need are here but also you can go to Berlin mall where everything is available and covered, for hotter, rainy days.
You can walk directly into the Tiergarten for a walk, great place for that.
Don’t forget the tea Hause, although they are offering more than Tea:-)

One of the modern and big stations of germany, with all kinds of facilities.

One of the best zoo in the world. Try to go when its a feeding time for the animals.

Transfer from S to U happens outside by street.

Excellent zoo but we missed seeing the lion house for renovations

Lots to do around here. Window and real shopping options available. Lots of restaurants - both fast food and sit down a la carte. Public transport accessible from all over the place.

I'm a food guy, and let me just say the food was amazing. One of my most favorite stops for döner kabab. Well, a Turkish Pizza in this case. Had a quick snack in between trains at AVCI at the U-Bahn. The heavy turkish influence meets the on-the-go Berlin lifestyle. I've put together a video of how this U-Bahn food stop brought a pizza and a kebab roll together. Type in "Tab's Minute Journey Turkish Pizza" on YouTube and you'll see it. Enjoy!

The station’s pop-culture prominence started in the 1970s when the area around the station become a gathering place for teenage drug addicts and prostitutes. Drug abuse, especially heroin addiction was rampant among the youth in West Berlin at a time. This problem came in the focus of public attention with publication of a book “We, Children from Zoo Station” (Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo). The book is based on a true story of Christiane F. a 14 year old drug addict and prostitute who hung around the Bahnhof Zoo.

The youth culture which spawned the likes of Christiane F. and other child drug addicts and prostitutes was intimately intertwined with rock music, especially the music of David Bowie and Iggy Pop. West Berlin was already for some time a place of gathering of prominent rock musicians, ad artists. Bowie’s famous Berlin trilogy was also created at the same period. David Bowie, Christiane’s favorite author, contributed the soundtrack for the movie version of the book.

Notoriety of the station quickly spread resulting in numerous references in songs by many bands and artists including U2, Alphaville, Nina Hagen and Scorpions. Zoo station and the idea of living in a zoo become a symbol of West Berlin, since West Berlin was surrounded by the wall, much like a zoo. Coincidencidently this station is currently served by U2 metro line.

We are there at least once a month. The baby pandas are four months old and you can see them now.
A must go for every Berlin visitor!

Had a wonderful time.

Station.
