Overview

Mobile ticket
What could be nicer on a quiet, sunny day than a trip to the zoo with the family, your partner or even on your own? The zoo is the only one of its kind worldwide. At 750 meters, it is Europe’s highest-lying zoo, but it is also easy to get to and not far from the city center.
There are many different animals waiting to be seen at the zoo such as lynx, eagles, fish, and birds, as well as wolves and bears. Spring is a particularly interesting time to visit because that is when young animals are born and there is usually a lot going on! At the petting area, rare and local species of cows, pigs, goats and sheep can be seen up close.
The ride with the Hungerburgbahn starts at the Station Congress near the center of Innsbruck and brings you in 5 minutes to the Station Alpine Zoo, then back again after your zoo visit.

Poor bear

1.00Good zoo except for the bear exhibit. The bear was constantly pacing the same path and seems very distressed.
Definitely worth a visit!

3.00The zoo is hard to walk. It is very hilly. Most of the animals were not visible or their holding area had construction. There are a lot of birds.
Must do pick

5.00It is much better to get the collective tickets instead of separate tickets. The experience is worthwhile, where the zoo is very unique and spacious, and the Funcular facilitates the trip in a very well-organized manner and low-interval trips schedule.
A zoo different from usual, surrounded by nature

4.00The Alpenzoo is really very beautiful because you can see the commitment to create the most suitable environments for each animal, here there are no narrow cages: ibex, wolves and birds live in spaces that recall their natural habitat. We also saw the bear, but in this period it was a bit "sleepy" and was sleeping blissfully behind a plant, so we were able to see only part of it! Overall it is a very nice and pleasant experience, recommended for those who want to see mountain animals in a respectful setting
Great terrain, very worth seeing!

5.00We went to the zoo with rather low expectations as a stopover on the way up the mountain. And we were totally surprised: The terrain is totally beautiful, the individual enclosures of the animals seem overall very generous and close to nature. Highly recommended as an excursion destination for the family!
Fantastic Zoo

5.00Fantastic zoo! Amazing to see such a variety of animals, well kept and tidy zoo! Some enclosures on the smaller side for the birds however none looked unhappy! Worth a visit!
Hard walking.

3.00I went here early one day. I found a lot of the animals to not be out or visible. It is very strenuous walking with the steep hills. It’s a bit pricey for a smaller zoo. I did leave very tired after about 90 minutes.
