We were in Schönbrunn on November 2nd, the zoo was full to bursting as it was still the fall vacations and unfortunately almost none of the restaurants were open! Beer garden closed, stand near the penguins closed, dismantled, stand near the main entrance coming from the palace closed, cleaned up. There were only 2 stands open, 1 pretzel stand and 1 stand where crowds of people were queuing. Or you could go to the restaurant. We then went to the Tiroler Haus restaurant, very unfriendly, prices horrendous and nothing on the plate. I'm not surprised why the families bring everything themselves. And as an Austrian, you are actually 2nd class, they only look at foreigners. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, a lot of the attractions were closed due to renovation work and we will definitely be back next year.

We loved the giraffe ❤️ the monkeys were super cute, the penguins, the coalas, the flamingos... We loved that we can encounter with some of the animals! But unfortunately we couldn't enjoy the pandas. Hope that they will come back soon.

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.
