Zoo Vienna

The Tiergarten Schönbrunn (Zoo Schönbrunn) is located on the grounds of the famous Schönbrunn Palace. Founded as an imperial menagerie in 1752, it is the oldest zoo in the world.

Tiergarten Schönbrunn is one of the few zoos worldwide to house giant pandas. On the 23rd August 2007 the first non artificial insemination panda baby in Europe was born in the zoo.

Other zoo attractions include a rainforest house, in which the spectator is led through a simulation of the Amazon Rainforest, and an aquarium, which enables spectators to walk through underneath a simulation of the Amazon in flood. The new polarium for animals of the Arctic region was opened in early 2004.

Today, Schönbrunn is among the most modern zoos in the world. The motto of the zoo, “Schönbrunn should be a zoo of happy animals,” is clearly visible everywhere!
