Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket can be scanned directly from your phone at the entrance.

Children under 6 years old enter Schönbrunn Zoo free of charge. Children under 3 are also free for the Tirolerhof Train Transfer option.

What is the Tirolerhof Train Transfer option?

This is a separate add-on that includes a train ride to or from the Tirolerhof area. Note that zoo admission is not included in this option and must be purchased separately.

How far in advance should I book?

Schönbrunn Zoo is one of Vienna's most popular attractions, especially during school holidays and weekends. Booking ahead secures your slot and lets you skip the ticket queue.

Is the zoo accessible for wheelchair users?

The zoo grounds are largely flat and paved, making most areas navigable by wheelchair or pushchair. Contact the zoo directly for specific accessibility queries.

How long should I allow for a visit?

Most visitors spend between two and four hours exploring the zoo, though you could easily fill a full day if you plan around feeding sessions and the wider Schönbrunn grounds.
