Who goes first in Bärenpark?
Lookout Games English rulebook
The player who most recently visited an animal park starts. The rules also allow choosing the starting player at random.
Rule details
Starting tiles depend on seating order: the first player gets a Toilet, the second a Playground, the third a Playground in a four-player game or a Food Street in a three-player game, and the fourth a Food Street. Play then proceeds clockwise.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
