More about the animals in Vienna Zoo

How long to spend at the Schonbrunn Vienna Zoo?

Depending on whether you are traveling with children and the number of enclosures you want to visit, you need at least 2 to 3 hours at the ​Schonbrunn Zoo.

If you are short on time, with only 1 or 2 hours to spare, zip in and out of the exhibits quickly. You can catch the 10am elephant feeding show, head to the nearby Big Cat House and Panda World, and call it a day.

If you want to explore a majority of the zones and grab a bite at any of the iconic dining outlets like Gasthaus Kaiser Pavillion, you need at least 3 to 4 hours. June to August are the busiest months of the year. If you are planning to visit around that time, expect longer wait lines.

For nature lovers and animal conservation enthusiasts, keep aside a full day, or at least 6 to 7 hours to go through all the enclosures. Take your time to admire the naturalistic environments and ride the panoramic scenic train, which passes through the Elephant Park and Kaiser Pavillion every 45 minutes. If you have children in your company, the train ride is a must.
