Being the world's oldest zoo this one was really well maintained and cleaned. Best thing is the cafe beside lion's den. You can have a thrilling experience watching lions roaming beside you while enjoying food. This has a variety of different animals and based on their habits the environment is maintained. A must visit place in Vienna.

Excellent value at €26. Really big zoo, can easily spend 3-4 hours.

It has pretty much everything, it is located in the main park with stunning scenery.

Lions and tigers didn't really do much, and unfortunately the monkeys weren't playing. But the elephants and giraffes made it worth while.

Very nicely kept grounds. Modern but steeped in history. You are reminded of the original way it was in a few places around the place. There are many areas to get away from sun or rain and lots of well kept animals to see. Overall a good experience to have with kids

Maybe because they were doing something and had closed roads, but we didn't see all the animals that were on the map. Overall, the animals looked very well-kept and happy. The penguins charmed us as they showed off in front of the glass and swam around, they even looked like they were posing for photos.

The oldest zoo in the world and many of its historic buildings are beautifully preserved. This gives the Tiergarten a unique atmosphere found nowhere else. The zoo, however, is on the small side and thus many enclosures just seem inadequate for the animals that are in them, especially the ones for sea lions, elephants, giraffes and polar bears (despite the latter two being relatively modern). Worth a visit for sure but definitely not the best zoo in Europe.

Simply a "feel good" zoo. Perfectly maintained. Not too big but not small at all. Clear and short paths. Loved seeing the giraffes. Don't miss out watching the video.

This is an old and important Zoo. It includes very rare animals. They feed them (at different time, lion, tiger and Panda at 3PM), there could be another morning time not sure. You can go and touch the goats which kids love so much. It takes half a day to really enjoy it. Also, elephant training time is 11AM. Lots of cafe and restaurants. Maps can be improved big time.

It might be a smaller zoo than what I'm used to but it is still a beautiful one. You can't get lost or lose your track where to go. Animals are put into places with viewing areas that you can see them really nicely, so for me that's a really plus! But I wish the one viewing area for pandas would be managed better, but still it's okay. The zoo is really nice and mainly there is a panda, so I loved it and I'm pretty sure anyone will love it as well! :)
