Allow at least 2 hours to see the whole zoo, especially since some animals hide away so you may need to wait a little to see them come out. It's a great place for families and kids. I especially enjoyed the bears. More

This zoo isn't too big but its a good size. There are quite a few animals and most of the enclosures are backed up to a mountain/hill. It was very neat to see. More

loved everything about this place. stunning setting, excellent displays and facilities. only very slight disappointment was that the polar bears were on holiday whilst their enclosure was undergoing a renovation...we'll definitely be back to visit again when this re-opens More

While not tiny, this zoo is pretty small by city zoo standards. But, it was a lot of fun. We got there first thing when it opened, and we were the only people there for quite a while. It was peaceful and pleasant. Plenty of shade, too. My daughter really enjoyed feeding the llamas, and then again feeding the sheep... More

While they had a very random selection of animals, there was a number of animals I had never seen up close. It was really great. More

The same bus 25 from city center to Zoo and to Untersberg. Actually we first in the morning visited Untersberg, spend about 4 hours, next go with bus 25 the several stops to Zoo. There are a good set of animals, including rare Red Panda, even something like "safari place". Also: good cafeteria! More

We were 4 bikers all adults and we really enjoyed it, so kids will love it. The restaurant just near the entrance is very good, if a little pricey as all these places are all over the world. The enclosures were spacious and it's in a very pretty area of Salzburg. Heilbrunn castle is just behind the zoo, part of... More

you can get up close and personal with the animals, I was able to get photos of the tigers and other big cats that looked like there was no cage at all! In one area there were tiny monkeys that would eat fruit from your hand. More

there were hardly any animals to see. The habitat is depressing. I have to say though, once you have been to the San Diego Zoo and Disney's Animal Kingdom you have been spoiled when it comes to zoos. More
