There are so many animals in really nice big enclosures. The hippos, bears, giraffes and monkeys were very funny and entertaining. I don't recommend visiting the desert house, which in my opinion is not worth it.

I managed to get to the zoo on a day that was on the cooler side, 5-6°. There weren't a lot of people around and the animals, for the most part, were out and active. The zoo itself was pretty good as far as zoo's go. Booking ahead was great, although there were no lines to get past on that day. I just rocked up to the gate, showed my ticket on my phone, with some photo I'd and I was off. Nice and easy.

The polar bear was awesome. However, I am not sure how happy he is in his relatively small area.

Beautiful zoo. Very clean, with good infrastructure. The animals look very healthy.

ZOO as such is great, love the animals and the whole atmosphere. What was really bad was food availability as there was hugr amount of people. Huge rows everywhere and waiting time. With children this is challenge.
Journey through the fascinating world of animals at Schönbrunn Zoo
Venture into the world's oldest zoo with a skip-the-line entry. Spread across a sprawling 17-hectare site, you'll find yourself amidst 700 species, from zebras to anteaters, many of which are critically endangered. Experience the thrill of spotting Siberian tigers lounging on platforms, orangutans skillfully swinging through ropes, and giraffes graciously greeting visitors. However, the most popular residents of the Schönbrunn Zoo are the giant pandas, a rare privilege as it is one of a few zoos worldwide to be entrusted with a pair of these endangered species. If you'd like to explore desert landscapes, and the lives of the animals in the region, then opt for skip-the-line entry to Desert House, located close by.
Discover diverse animal houses
Traverse through the rainforest house, home to a rich variety of tropical flora and fauna, or visit the aquarium terrarium and be mesmerized by the sight of colorful fish and intriguing reptiles. The Polarium, Polardom, and Tirolerhof areas offer unique views of seals, penguins, polar bears, and rare breeds of farm animals.
