ABSOLUTELY AMAZING place with so many animals to see and the experience here was really nice. We have been to a few aquariums and this is probably by far the best. Ps. I live in London for context. The parrots, monkeys, snakes, crocodile etc etc. It was lovely and the kids had a good time too. Don't miss this place if you're in Vienna. Amazing views from the top too.

This is a must visit if you have kids or love animals! My hubby really wanted to visit because this building was originally a Flack tower built for WWII and now renovated to be an aquarium zoo. There are 9 floors of animals with an observation deck and cafe at the top. You can visit the cafe without going through the zoo. The aquarium portion of the zoo, which is spread out amongst the floors was so beautiful with an incredible assortment of fresh and saltwater marine life! The animal exhibits were so fun! I don't really like monkeys but omg I was excited by evening I saw. It did start to feel pretty crowded with some of the groups going through and with all the strollers. I really appreciated that everything was also in English, thank you! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Vienna! I will say that we were going to visit the cafe but ultimately decided not do because it was quite expensive with a very small selection. There were lots of food restaurants in the area to choose from.

Amazing WWII flak tower converted to an absolutely Awesome 11 story aquarium!! Each floor is an adventure ... from snakes, komodo dragon, fish, sharks and monkeys to birds, insects and crocodile ( be sure to look up when buying your tix at front desk 😉) Kids and adults will luv it and have a blast!! Can spend a few hours easily here. Lots of stairs and they do have elevators as well as bathrooms, a cafe as well as a restaurant on top floor. Gift shop on bottom and at the top .. amazing views of the entire city! Seriously stop by and enjoy! 📸

What a brilliant place to visit. Me and my wife walked in without booking in advance, line was minimal. There are a total of 11 floors with a vast array of species of animals. The views on the very top floor are amazing also, which has a 360 degree walkaround. We spent nearly 2 hours here with a one crowded section of kids, which was no fuss at all. 10/10

Great place to visit with family and enjoy beauty of world! There are many animals from underground's(ants, spiders, etc) to land(lemurs, monkeys, parrots etc.) to the underwater in the end(sharks, fishes, octopuses etc.). Highly recommended to go after 17:30 because you will have 2,5h for visit and you will have discount for ticket :)) There is also restaurant but we didn't visit it so I don't know if it's worth.
