All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Founded in 1752 by Emperor Franz Stephen I, Tiergarten Schönbrunn is the world's oldest operating zoo and a cornerstone of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Schönbrunn. This unique destination blends stunning Baroque architecture with state-of-the-art animal conservation. Visitors can marvel at over 700 animal species, including the famous Giant Pandas, Siberian tigers, and African elephants. The zoo's layout maintains its original 18th-century 'menagerie' design, where enclosures radiate from the central imperial pavilion like spokes on a wheel. Whether you choose a standalone ticket, a flexible Vienna sightseeing pass, or a combined palace and gardens tour, the experience offers an unparalleled journey through both natural history and European imperial grandeur.

Real experiences from real travelers
The mix of imperial architecture and modern animal enclosures is stunning. Seeing the pandas was the highlight of our Vienna trip. Booking the pass through this site saved us so much time at the gate!
Easy to navigate with a stroller and the rainforest house is incredible. We used the Vienna Flexi Pass and walked straight in. Highly recommend for kids.
Beautifully maintained. The history of the place is palpable. A bit crowded on weekends, so definitely get your tickets in advance to skip the main queue.
Beyond just a zoo, it's a piece of history. The Kaiserpavillon is the perfect spot for a coffee. The animals look very well cared for in spacious environments.
Even in December, the zoo is lively. The indoor enclosures are great. Booking online through this platform was seamless and saved us from the cold ticket line.
Located right in the palace gardens. We did the zoo in the morning and the palace in the afternoon. Perfect combination for a full day in Schönbrunn.
The panda enclosure is top-notch. I've been to many zoos globally, and this is easily in my top three. Very accessible from the city center via the U-Bahn.
Used the Vienna Pass which included the zoo and the bus. Made getting here very easy. The enclosures are very well designed to give animals privacy.
