A great zoo well worth exploring. The absolute highlights were the panda house and the koalas. As always in Vienna, the food was top-notch. The fast-track ticket cut down on the wait time and made the experience even better.

I lived the openness of the zoo. Animals looked happy and cared for and had access to all they seemed to need . I loved the train ride around Schubronn and its huge estate

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
