Great place to have a family day out. Easier access through the underground rather than the hop-on and hop-off tour.
Well worth the effort but I'd advised to start at the Zoo no later than 0930hrs and spend at least 6 hours wandering around the Zoo and then go onto Ferris Wheel making sure you get a copy of both Zoo and Ferris Wheel Voucher otherwise you have to pay again when you arrive at the Prater and go on the Ferris Wheel. Spectacular views of the city from wheel so I'd suggest doing this at night time or even do 2 trips on the wheel -- 1 Day and 1 Night. Can have special meal in one of the carriages of the Giant Ferris Wheel. Would be ideal if celebrating something special whilst in Venna. Make sure you have enough memory cards for your camera so you can take as many phots as you like on any of the tours.
Clean Zoo, tons of exotic animals and is surrounded by a fabulous park. I believe this is the 4th best Zoo in the world. I would recommend bringing a packed lunch for the park outside of the Zoo. It is gorgeous. It is also very close to this wonderful palace we stumbled upon within the park area.
Everything went well.
You miss so much in your lifetime if you don't visit our animal friends.
Great zoo would recomend this for kids and adults alike,but u do need to set aside a whole day for this to realy enjoy it and there is a massive park to look round when you have finished at the zoo.The ferris wheel is worth going on and its set in a massive fair ground so loads of fun but will cost a bit extra.
Pandas were excellent!
The best zoo we have ever visited. Don't go to Vienna without visiting it!
Both the Zoo and the Prater are fairly empty in Winter. If you want to take photos at the zoo, it was easier this time of year than I imagine it would be in the summer. Most of the rides at the Prater were not running, but a few were, which was ok, because we mostly just wanted to walk around and take pictures. The woman working the ticket desk at the zoo was confused when we presented our vouchers, but they figured it out. I highly recommend both the zoo and the Prater!
i didn't make it to the ferris wheel, but the zoo was really cute and in stunning surroundings...not a 'must see' for random travellers, but those whop enjoy zoo's will like it
Even with the rain and wind we had a great day. The zoo was just so well kept and the animals all looked happy.
It was very pleasant, I haven't any problems
The zoo is really good for all the family, a lot to see and you can spend most of the day just there. The ferris wheel is not a lot to write home about, okish but there are better ways to see the city from above. Better to purchase this when you get to the venue as cheaper than thru Viator.
