Excellent organisation on the boat, we had a good time, and there was no drama at the 10.30 am carat buy. There are folders to take down and there is a sign on every 100m marking where you are. The park also has a smaller train which you can pay for and which will take you around the wider stations. There are various types of life, everything is orderly and there is no traffic. If you want to eat, there are a few cafés with fast food, coffee, ice-creams and a restaurant. For the kids, a great day out - a couple of lazy saves, a couple of bench stands, we needed 5 sati. Na ulazu imate drvena kolica pa ako su djeca manja uzmite si, da ih u nekom trenu vučete, ako ništa za stvari je super. You can do better with children's collicks.

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 ❤️

Schönbrunn Zoo ended up being one of the highlights of our Vienna trip. The habitats are spacious, the paths are easy to follow, and we kept discovering something new at every turn. The rainforest house and the giant pandas were the absolute standouts. It’s a lot of walking and the food is on the pricey side, but the experience easily makes up for it. A beautiful place that keeps you curious from start to finish.

    I loved everything about the zoo, but my absolute favourite were the panda bears. I have never seen one before. I am so happy I made time for the zoo on our last day in Vienna.

  • 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.
