  • Spent 4 hours in the zoo…lots of walking around but very nice … A great way to spend a morning or an afternoon. Was worth our visit

  • Good zoo to visit with children, its not the best though. Limited food options inside and hilly pathways. The closer vicinity of animals from the guests viewing area and different types of animals...

  • A very nice zoo with a great selection of animals. Many large exhibits offer a variety of vantage points. Logical layout so easy to see all of the zoo following the trails. Signs in German and English. Recommend buying tickets in advance or at the self service machines to avoid queues. Many places to buy snacks, meals, and drinks. Small play areas for children
  • Such a great Zoo! Make sure you go early enough because it is a rather big location and if you want to enjoy the whole thing you are going to need about 2-3+ hours. So many animals to see! And you can use the map they provide you with to plan out your exploration. Great location for little children and for couples! Don't miss out when you visit Vienna, since it's one of the oldest Zoos of Europe!
