The gondola ride to the top of Innsbruck was fantastic ! Would highly recommend for anyone thinking of doing that. The zoo itself was not overly big. Would be a nice day out for a family, but was not a highlight for us. I have seen that the best time to see any animals is early morning, and we went middle of day, so if wanting to see animals would try then.

This is one of the most no hassle experience we have had in Innsbruck. From the beginning to the end there were multiple places where we had to swipe these tickets including alpine zoo. This is the kind of no stress experience and swipe we need when we buy such tickets upfront from different countries. It not only reduces unnecessary anxiety in a new country, but also gives us the much needed enhanced customer experience and gratitude. Thankyou for being our solid partner.

We had a 1/2 day planned to visit Innsbruck. We have a 7 yr old. We purchased this on the drive and so glad we did! We went to the Top of Innsbruck and then the Alpeenzoo. We extended our day bc of these experiences. Wonderful experience!

Normally, I would have given it 5 stars, but the QR code didn’t work for us! We wanted to start right from the Alpenzoo to head to Top of Innsbruck first. Our QR code wasn’t valid—neither at the Hungerburgbahn nor after a walk to the Zoolasse. Since no one could help us, we drove to the Hofburg/Stadttheater parking garage to file a complaint at the ticket office at the valley station (where there isn’t even a ticket machine). This cost us parking fees at the zoo and a lot of time!!!! And before that, we had to call Headhunter, where we first went through an AI system and were then assisted in English. They were able to help us there, though, since all the online tickets purchased the day before weren’t working. We were issued physical tickets... From then on, everything was great!!!!! It’s impossible to determine exactly what caused the error or who was at fault, but in hindsight, that’s beside the point—because when everything works, the tickets are worth the money!!!! That’s why, unfortunately, only 4 out of 5 stars!!!!

It was a fun day in Hungerburg and the Alpine Zoo. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, so it was a bit challenging. One recommendation I have regarding the zoo: the signage and way-finding is very limited. It was difficult to know which path to take. Seeing the animals was exciting, especially the chamois feeding her kid. The funicular was very well organized and the waits were not long.

It is a lovely zoo - very hilly as you would expect on the side of a mountain, but the animal enclosures are spaced about and you are able to go inside a lot of the bird enclosures.

Your ticket lets you roam Europe's highest zoo above Innsbruck, exploring exhibits of Alpine species in a striking mountain setting.

Visit Alpine Zoo Innsbruck at 750 meters above the city, with optional round-trip access to Top of Innsbruck or the Hungerburg Funicular.

Getting started

Enter Alpine Zoo Innsbruck by presenting your ticket at the entrance and proceed directly inside without needing an additional registration step. Once you are in, decide your own pace as you start exploring the paths and enclosures. If you arrived by public transportation, follow the on-site signs from the stop to reach the main gate.

What to expect

Alpine Zoo Innsbruck

Set at 750 meters above Innsbruck in Tirol, Alpine Zoo Innsbruck focuses on wildlife from the Alpine region. You can plan your route in advance or on-site, then move between exhibits using the internal paths.

Features

A zoo map (Zooplan) is available for download as a PDF, so you can review the layout beforehand and choose the sections and animals you want to prioritize during your visit.

Entry to Alpine Zoo is included with every ticket option, giving you access to the enclosures and facilities throughout the operating hours on the day of your visit.

If you select the combo with round-trip tickets to Top of Innsbruck, your experience also includes the cable journey up and down as per the option chosen, so you can combine the zoo with a visit to the city’s high-altitude viewpoint.

With the Alpine Zoo Entry Ticket + Hungerburg Funicular option, you receive a round-trip on Hungerburg Funicular in addition to zoo entry, which connects the lower city area with the Hungerburg level where the zoo area is accessible.

The Alpenzoo is open 365 days a year, including all holidays, so you can schedule your visit in any season and still find the zoo operating.

Accessibility

Wheelchair accessibility: The zoo is largely wheelchair accessible, with wide paths and accessible enclosures. Some paths in the upper area are steeper and may require assistance.

What's not allowed

Pets: Dogs are not permitted inside the zoo. Assistance dogs are allowed subject to the zoo's identification and vaccination requirements.
