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

    The tickets to The Zoo were fine but they didn't work for the Desert Garden which was supposed to be included. We had to pay to get into this area

  • 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.
