Overall rating

4.5 / 5

based on 2,116 reviews

It would be better if you could redeem the pass directly instead of exchanging it at the customer center. We had to look for the customer center itself. But otherwise everything went great. Not all sights are accessible without queuing.

The oldest Zoo in the world and the best as well. Have been visited many zoo's but the one in Vienna is far beyond the others. Highly recommended

Easy entry into all the venues! Busses ran on time! We really enjoyed our visit to Vienna!

A visit to Vienna Zoo is a wonderful experience that I highly recommend!
