This zoological garden with its magnificent Baroque decor is one of Vienna's most popular attractions.
In the summer of 1752, Emperor Franz I, the husband of Maria Theresa, presented his guests with the newly built menagerie in his palace park. The zoo, with its magnificent Baroque décor, is the world's oldest surviving zoo and one of Vienna's most popular attractions. Today it is a modern zoo, concerned with biodiversity, committed to the protection of several endangered species, involved in the well-being of its tenants and in the educational dimension and awareness of the public, especially children. A baby panda was born in this zoo in 2007, as well as elephant calves and many other specimens.

In addition, the cheetah Afra has given birth to four adorable babies, there have been sextuplets in prairie dogs, and in September 2020, the first koala baby was born in Schönbrunn!
