Parking BärenPark (Tierpark Bern), Bern

Parking at BärenPark (Tierpark Bern) is limited around Grosser Muristalden. Compare nearby public bays or pre-book an available option through Mobypark before arrival, then check local signs and maximum stays.

Bookable private parking near BärenPark with Mobypark

Mobypark offers bookable private parking spaces made available by owners who do not actively use them. Listings can include hotel car parks, office-building spaces, private driveways and unused garages. If a suitable space is available for your visit, booking it before driving to BärenPark gives you a planned place to leave the car instead of relying on a space opening on arrival.

Public parking options near BärenPark

Only a small number of public spaces are available close to the BärenPark entrance at Grosser Muristalden 4. The main options around the site are:

• Grosser Muristalden and Aargauerstalden: blue-zone spaces requiring a parking disc during controlled hours, with blue-zone day cards also available.
• Nydeggbrücke and Klösterlistutz: paid parking at CHF 2.20 per hour, with a maximum stay of six hours.
• Tierparkweg car park: 80 spaces, open 24 hours, charged at CHF 2.20 per hour with a six-hour maximum stay.

For a paid visit where arriving to find the public spaces full would be inconvenient, a bookable Mobypark space is an alternative to testing these limited bays.

Blue-zone parking near BärenPark

In Bern’s blue zones, parking is generally free for one hour from Monday to Saturday between 08:00 and 19:00 when you display a correctly set parking disc. Set the disc to the next half-hour or full-hour mark after arrival.

Special timing applies when you arrive around midday or overnight: arrival between 11:30 and 13:30 normally allows parking until 14:30, while arrival between 18:00 and 08:00 normally allows parking until 09:00. Outside the controlled hours, and on Sundays and public holidays unless signs say otherwise, blue-zone parking is generally free and unrestricted.

Blue-zone day cards cost CHF 9 for four hours or CHF 16 for 24 hours. Moving the disc forward without moving the vehicle out of the bay and into traffic does not legally extend the stay.

Long-stay and overnight parking for BärenPark visits

The paid spaces at Nydeggbrücke, Klösterlistutz and Tierparkweg are subject to a six-hour maximum, so they are not suitable for leaving a car all day or overnight. A 24-hour blue-zone card can cover a longer stay only where a legal blue-zone space is available and the local signs permit it.

For a full-day or overnight visit where having a pre-booked space matters, Mobypark can provide a practical alternative when a suitable listing is available for your dates and vehicle.

Driving to BärenPark and reaching the entrance

From the Wankdorf or Ostring motorway exits, follow signs towards the city centre and Bärengraben. The BärenPark address is Grosser Muristalden 4, 3006 Bern. Check the final road signs carefully because nearby streets combine blue-zone and paid parking areas with different time limits.

If local spaces are occupied, bus route 12 stops directly beside BärenPark at the Bärenpark stop. This can be a useful fallback when driving close to the entrance would mean circling for a legal bay.

Avoid parking fines around BärenPark

Do not exceed the permitted time or reset a parking disc while the vehicle remains in the same space. Exceeding the blue-zone limit by up to two hours can result in a CHF 40 fine; an overstay of up to four hours can cost CHF 60, and an overstay of up to ten hours can cost CHF 100. More than ten hours over the limit may lead to ordinary proceedings instead of a fixed penalty.

Also avoid stopping or parking in signed no-stopping areas and within five metres of a pedestrian crossing. Always follow the sign at the individual bay if it differs from the general blue-zone rules.
