Schönbrunn Zoo offers a truly wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. It is evident that the animals are exceptionally well cared for, with their well-being clearly prioritized. The enclosures are spacious and thoughtfully designed, providing naturalistic habitats that allow the animals to thrive. Observing the diverse range of species in such pleasant surroundings is a genuine delight. A visit to Schönbrunn Zoo is highly recommended for anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable day out.

We wanted to see Panda, that's why traveled to Wienna from Budapest. Although the weather was awful with large wind and heavy rain therefore most of the animals stayed inside Panda circulated untiredly in his place. We have been delighted. Oktavian

Everything was excellent. The animals look happy. It was amazing to see the giant pandas so close in particular with the hippos being a unique close second.

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.

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!
