Booking tickets where really easy to book and pay for, details sent through straight away. The cable car experience is fantastic and great value for money, the ease of moving around and getting from one car to another is done really well, we had trouble getting on line to show our tickets, but this was sorted by one of the staff. The views are absolutely fantastic and each time you move your head there is a different image. Great day out

Well-presented animals. They seem to have sufficient space and are well cared for (compared to other zoos, but I'm no expert). For children it's very interactive, and for adults there's a lot to learn too. The layout of the tour means you never get bored ("IKEA" style). We did the tour in about 2 hours (3 adults from 15 to 17).

I won't do it again. Everything I don't like about a zoo. Difficulty scanning the qr code at the entrance via cell phone. Clean place but not well signposted in the park to make the walk easier. Small animal enclosures. No terrace for drinks or food. Nothing in French.

The zoo is wonderful with large, natural animal enclosures. We especially enjoyed the large aviaries where we could walk inside among the birds.

It was so easy to get to and use the tickets straight from my phone. Very stroller friendly and the views where incredible!

Ever wondered what it feels like to be on top of the world? Why wonder when you can experience it. Book your ticket to the top of Innsbruck. In this experience, you get to reach the top of Innsbruck from the city centre in less than 10minutes. Your cable car has one stop in the middle before reaching the top. You get down at the Alpine Zoo, which is Europe's highest-elevation zoo. Witness the awe-inspiring view with a view with the Karwendel Nature Park on one side and the capital of the Alps on the other side. This zoo is home to more than 100 animal species. For the animal lovers and those not, this will be an experience of a lifetime.

From the cable car, witness the breathtaking view of the city, wildlife and the ranging mountains all at the same time. Walk up to the summit of Nordkette to experience a view like no other.
