Pandas have a long history at Berlin Zoo, however the newest Pandas have been there since 2017. This is my third trip to Berlin, so I know the zoo fairly well – I had hoped this time around that the twins, born in September 2019 just before I was last there on a work trip, would be on show, but I was a couple of weeks early to see them! A perfect reason for another trip in the near future. The panda enclosure is pretty central in the Zoo and was newly built for the pandas. The indoor spaces for the pandas are completely glass, so you can see them completely, unless they are off show. On all occasions when I have visited Berlin Zoo there has always been at least one panda on show, so I wonder if there might not be the choice to be off show during the day. The entrance to the main viewing area is pretty cool and really stands out. The space is designed with green structural supports, similar to bamboo, which is also grown in the public space, and also red Chinese style lanterns.
