Tier-, Freizeit- und Saurierpark Germendorf — Attraction in Oranienburg

The most impressive thing about this place is the T-Rex in the parking lot. We came here with higher expectations as the majority of reviews were so positive, but we left feeling a bit ripped off.

First the positive aspects: The entry prices are more than fair. €6 per adult, €2.5 for kids between 2 and 6. the place is huge.

Now for the negative aspects: the place has 0 Covid measures/requirements. No 2G/3G requirements, no proof of a negative Covid test or anything. The only requirement is to wear a mask while using the bathrooms, but otherwise masking is not required.

We might have picked a bad day, but the place was absolutley packed. They cramed as many people as possible inside, making the fact that no tests or masks were required even more worrying.

despite the queue reaching far into the parking lot, for some reason they thought it wasn't necessary to open any of the other two ticket booths. If visiting, it's probably smarter to book a ticket online and use that line instead

For whatever reason it seems like German zoos and parks have no issue with people smoking everywhere. For a park that's filled with mainly children, having adults smoking right next to your kids is rather disgusting.

While the entry price is fair, you have to pay for virtually everything else. Even if it's just 50 cents here or a euro there, these things all add up.

the Dinopark feels like a massive scam. This was probably the most disappointing aspect. There a far and few dinosaurs to be seen and you have to walk ages to get to them, while essentially being surrounded by a glorified petting zoo (where 2/3 of the animals or nowhere to be seen). None of the dinosaurs that we saw had any information posted next to them either.

Overall - give this a strong pass. Your far better off shelling out for the slightly pricier tickets for the Tierpark in Berlin and you'll get a safer and more...

Interesting place to visit with kids! It's a bit far from Berlin center by public transit (SBahn, bus then 20-minute walk), but worth it for a day trip. The park is really big, with a zoo section, section with dinosaur statues, various playgrounds, coin-operated rides, an indoor play area, a lake for swimming (no lifeguards), and some restaurant options.

We went with two 3.5-year-olds and they had a great time. We were glad we brought our Bollerwagen to pull the kids around, but wooden wagons were also available to rent in the park for 5 EUR.

The entrance fee is very reasonable (7 EUR for adults, 3,50 for kids) but we found out that's because they try to upsell you EVERYWHERE. There are coin-operated rides all over, and every kiosk has a ton of cheap dinosaur toys for sale (left out in the open where kids can grab them, of course). But as long as your kids are pretty good about not asking for every little thing you can still have a good time. Some things are worth paying a little extra for, like the "water walking" ride where you go inside huge inflatable barrels and roll around on top of a pool of water. Not cheap (4 EUR per person for 5 minutes), but unique and a lot of fun.

The dino park section was well done, with still statues all around. They were life-size and made for impressive vistas. Playgrounds are interspersed around so the little ones can have something to do while enjoying the backdrop.

We stopped for lunch at the Asian kiosk nearest the entrance and wished we had waited, as the food quality was poor, and there were much better options further in near the zoo animals. Definitely go in further and find those.

We didn't see much of the zoo section because the girls were focused on the dinosaurs, but we did get to pet a very tame deer and saw owls, parrots, and snakes.

All in all we were glad we came once but don't feel the need to...

Perfect place for any family with children.(all inclusive place) You can spend there a whole day if : you bring with you a blanket, towel and sunscreen (3 mini beaches are available and children can play there almost unsupervised) you bring with you fishing tools ( yes, fishing is allowed but dont expect a big catch) if you wish healthy foods then bring them from home. The usual sweets and ice cream and pommes, stake and other such things you can buy there bring a lot of 50 and 1 euro coins ( they have many electric toys to play with .. and the best is the 50 cent train ride) you have also a sort of mini zoo you have the chance to ride ponies (at certain times only) no mask required (it s open air so .. all is ok) What else you can find there : indoor playground 2x big outdoor spielplatz of course Dinos, lots of them

The entry fee is very fair, actually cheap i might say. PS: the parking costs 1 euro(1 coin only) and you pay it at the end no matter how long you stay there. And they do have enough...
