The Biosphäre Potsdam is located in Volkspark and offers a unique nature experience. On land, in water, and in the air, visitors can embark on a journey of discovery among 20,000 tropical plants and trees, as well as around 130 different animal species.

Originally, the former military site was transformed, planted, and prepared for the 2001 Federal Garden Show (BUGA). After the event, it was renamed Volkspark Potsdam. Following an extensive renovation, the Biosphäre Potsdam was opened as a tropical garden on September 14, 2002.

Unlike traditional botanical gardens, the Biosphäre Potsdam stands out with its concept as a nature experience world and event venue featuring changing special themes related to nature. A variety of guided tours, workshops, children’s and family programs, as well as the lavish Tropical Brunch buffet, provide a delightful contrast to the vacation-like atmosphere of the venue.
