    A lot of animals, but we were disapointed because of reconstruction of big part of zoo. We wanted to see Panda for example, but it was not possible.

    It really is a very nice zoo and I thought it was great that you could see so many animals up close, despite the fact that they have a very nice big enclosure. It's really worth a visit.

    The space the animals had was large & beautiful,we were able to catch Sea Lion feeding, it was stunning. There is a frog prince fountain that was very cute & a small area where you can interact with goats & sheep. Can't recommend enough ✨️

    This booking with the online tickets worked great, the QR codes on the cell phone - perfect! We weren't sure how to do it, but it was just great. Schönbrunn was worth the trip as always, we loved the giraffes and the koalas were soo cute, unfortunately we didn't find a polar bear this time either, maybe next time... Lg from Styria

  • 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.
