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.

The Zoo was well layed out and the staf was friendly, however the animals was not really on show as the weather was cold and also they advertise Panda'a which was not there with their enclosure being worked on.

A really nice traditional zoo, animals all looked well looked after . Some of the old buildings were excellent and like walking back in time

Historic zoo. Third visit for us. A fine collection of animals, but the cages aren't necessarily up to today's standards. And above all, a huge disappointment: the absence of the pandas, whose enclosure is under construction!

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.
