We had really magical day here during winter weather. Due to cold temperatures, we could observe two pandas that despite their slothy nature were very active. Plus you could warm yourself up by vistiting Warmer climates in Koala or Aligathor habitats. The only dissapointment was Polar bear who i guess was shy that day, and went into hiding.

Absolutely awesome Zoo! Some animals were not out due to the weather conditions but we did get to see a ton. The best thing by far is the peting zoo where you get to pet, feed and brush the goats. I highly recommend it if you, your kid or your inner child loves animals.

OMG I had the best day at Schönbrunn Zoo!! 🐼❤️ The pandas were honestly the cutest things ever – I could’ve sat in front of their enclosure for hours watching them munch on bamboo and roll around. So fluffy and chill, total highlight of my trip! But honestly the whole zoo was amazing – super clean, the animals all looked happy and well taken care of, and the layout is so pretty with all the old baroque buildings around. Even on a busy day the skip-the-line ticket made everything stress-free, totally worth it. Already telling all my friends they have to visit! 100% coming back next time I’m in Vienna ❤️

    The place is simply spectacular! Cleanliness and organization make the place a spectacle in itself, not to mention that the gardens are beautiful and you have the opportunity to visit the Christmas market after your visit to the zoo... Sensational!
