Some enclosures are empty, notably the pandas, although this is the zoo's main selling point. Other animals are almost invisible, such as the polar bear, which lives in conditions that are totally at odds with its natural habitat: an enclosure in direct sunlight with little water (warm, certainly). The poor thing!

A lot of animals, but we were disapointed because of reconstruction of big part of zoo. We wanted to see Panda for example, but it was not possible.

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.
