You can check out the Safari experience, feeding time with the littlest baby animals or watch polar bears play in the water. There´s definitely plenty to choose from. This event is suitable for everyone no matter their age.

The Schönbrunnn Zoo is located on the premises of Schönbrunn Gardens and is home to more than 700 animal species and lies on almost 17-hectare site. It is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage list and has been awarded Europe´s Best Zoo Award five times in a row.
