Vienna Schönbrunn Zoo Official Priority Entry Ticket

Skip the line and explore
the world's oldest zoo

Schönbrunn Zoo opened in 1752 and is the oldest zoo still in operation. Located in the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace, the Habsburgs' summer residence, it is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a priority entry ticket that lets you skip the ticket office line, and it can be used for one day on your selected date. Wander freely around the roughly 17-hectare grounds and see the animals in a setting where culture and nature come together.

Meet 500 species, including giant pandas

Around 500 species from all over the world live here, some of them critically endangered. See orangutans swinging on ropes, Siberian tigers resting on platforms, koalas munching eucalyptus leaves, African elephants enjoying a mud bath and meerkats digging in the sand up close.

The zoo's most popular residents are the giant pandas. Schönbrunn Zoo is one of only a few zoos in the world entrusted with a pair of pandas by China, and you can learn about its unique efforts to help this endangered species breed naturally.

Indoor animal houses for any weather

With many indoor animal houses around the zoo, you can keep exploring even when it rains or the weather is bad. At the Polarium, watch seals and penguins swim underwater, and at the neighboring Polardom, see polar bears dive into the water. At the Tirolerhof, discover interesting facts about rare livestock breeds.

Feel the atmosphere of a Baroque imperial zoo

At the center of the zoo stands the Baroque pavilion where the imperial family once enjoyed breakfast while watching the animals. Today it is a restaurant, making it a nice place to take a break. Food and drinks are not included in the ticket and can be purchased separately at the various restaurants in the zoo.

※ Depending on the animals' condition and the weather, some animals may stay indoors and may not be visible.
