Animal Sponsorship at Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde





At Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde in Lichtenberg, you can adopt almost any animal species. The money goes directly to the care of the animals, and the recipients receive a personal adoption certificate.
Animal Adoption at Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde: A Gift for a Whole Year
Instead of flowers or a voucher, you can gift an animal adoption at Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde. Essentially, an adoption can be taken out for any animal species in the zoo. Smaller animals like naked mole-rats, degus, or budgerigars are available from 100 Euros per year, while amounts for otters, prairie dogs, or red pandas range between 150 and 500 Euros. Zebras, camels, and wisents cost 750 to 1,500 Euros, and bears, okapis, or the African elephant cow Pori cost 3,000 to 5,000 Euros. This way, the adoption can be well adapted to one’s own budget.
The adoption includes a personal adoption certificate, which can be easily wrapped and presented. In addition, there are two issues of the patron’s magazine per year. From 500 Euros, the names of the patrons also appear on digital boards at the entrance. Since donations to the zoo are tax-deductible, the adoption also counts towards your tax return.
Animal Adoption at the Zoo: Support for Animals and Park Grounds
The money from adoptions exclusively benefits the care of the animals and the maintenance of the park grounds. An adoption runs for one year and can be extended thereafter; a reminder will be sent before expiration. From 1,000 Euros per year, there are also invitations to exclusive summer evenings and insights related to your adopted animal. If the desired animal is not listed in the form, the zoo team will assist. With approximately 160 hectares, the Tierpark is Europe’s largest landscape zoo, making a visit to your adopted animal quickly turn into a day trip.
