Our visit to Schönbrunn Zoo was simply fantastic. The entire complex is very well maintained, lovingly designed and offers unforgettable impressions for young and old. You can see everywhere how much heart and commitment goes into running the zoo. We would particularly like to highlight the giraffe enclosure - a real highlight! The giraffes have plenty of space there, a beautifully designed environment and there are great opportunities to observe them up close. The large window fronts in the indoor area provide a fascinating view of these elegant animals - almost at eye level! The accompanying information on the way of life and protection of giraffes was also exciting and suitable for children.

A beautifully designed zoo located right in the lovely gardens of Schönbrunn Palace. The entire area is well-maintained, clean, and perfect for a relaxing walk. We saw a polar bear in real life for the very first time it was truly a memorable experience. Our 2-year-old daughter loved it especially the animals, playgrounds, and the overall friendly atmosphere. We really appreciated that there were snack bars and toilets around every corner a huge plus for families with young children. Definitely recommended for families!

We really enjoyed it 👍 my son was impressed from the animals and the acquarios inside 😍 the park was wonderful and everything was well maintained and organised . Many shoppers and restorants were inside the zoo where we can rest or enjoy food and drinks with your kid. My experience was really memorable. The toilets requires more attention and cleaning.

    I loved the fact that headout sent not only an email, but also directions on WhatsApp, for easy access. They are also very fast! Also, the zoo is incredible and it is worth every minute and buck.

    Loved the walk through areas with the birds and sloths. As for the pandas...😍😍😍 Made 2 visits to the panda house, boy was I glad. I got to witness the female panda wake up and enjoy a feast of bamboo! Amazing zoo, so celan, not too crowded and the beautiful sunshine made the visit even more enjoyable.

  • 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.
