We were there very early on a very cold day. The advantage was that we were able to look at the animals unhindered and many species were still very curious. There is a lot to see with the elephants at around 10am, as they are practiced with them in order to be prepared for examinations.

Even though that it was freezing and most of the animals were protected inwards and not very active, it was a greate experience and a very nice place to spend your day. The animals were take care for and the place was easy to navigate.

The zoo was amazing and we only had a flying visit. It was a shame the Pandas were not there but to see the polar bears, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, penguins and all manner of other animals. It was a great surprise having originally gone to see the Christmas markets at Schönbrunn Palace. Brilliant day out, thank you.

The Panda exhibit was closed and the main reason for my trip. The service was convenient and venue was delightful aside from the main attraction ghosting it.

Your experience

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.
