Шенбруннский зоопарк Schönbrunn Zoo

Rating 10110

Since childhood, I have been reserved about zoos, but the zoo in Vienna even delighted me. It occupies part of the Schö nbrunn Park - that's what the Schö nbrunn Zoo is called. There are many animals here, and even more people here. But neither people nor animals interfere with each other. Most of all I liked the jungle house, there, in addition to all sorts of tropical birds, huge fruit bats hang in clusters - this is such a large bat, just like in a movie about vampires! : ) The first pavilions of the imperial menagerie, built about two hundred years ago (the zoo in Vienna is the oldest in the world! ) and the bronze monument to the lion - the first "resident" of the close Schö nbrunn cage, look very touching against the background of all this splendor. The Vienna Zoo is very large, it seems to me that even two days is not enough to see it.
Tip: before visiting the zoo, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the animal feeding schedule, this can be done at http://www. zoovienna.
at/ru/tirgarten-posetitelej/kormleniya-informaciya/ The fact is that after dinner, well-fed animals, like many people, like to take a nap for an hour or two, and you won't be able to see them. For example, we really wanted to see the pandas, we can say that we came for this, but we came to the enclosures just after feeding, and the pandas were sleeping peacefully in the far corner - we never saw them : (

The zoo is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm, tickets are expensive - 16.5 euros / adult, 8 euros / child, but it's worth it!

You can get to Schö nbrunn Park, where the zoo is located, by metro - U4 line, Hietzing station.
