House of the Sea

The various departments of the House of the Sea present tropical fresh water and salt water fish as well as fish from the Mediterranean and Austrian lakes.

In the House of the Tropics and the Croc-Park you can see free-flying birds and free-roaming apes, crocodiles, and other animals categorized by habitat. In the terrarium section live poisonous as well as giant snakes, lizards, leaf-cutter ants, and tarantulas. And the Adventure Aquarium "Brandungsriff" lets children experience the tropical fish right up close through the "diver‟s helmets" built into the floor of the aquarium.

Feeding times and guided tours:

"Grasping" nature Wednesdays at 2.00 pm in front of the hammerhead pool on the ground floor
You can "grasp" a few things here in the truest sense of the word:

  • Who would like to touch a shark's teeth in complete safety or know what its skin feels like?
  • Who would like to look deep into the mouth of the famously infamous piranha, or touch a cobra?
  • Who would like to know what a tortoise shell looks like from the inside and how it is structured?
  • Or have you ever touched the stinger of a stingray, with its barbs?

Shark Diving Thu 6pm
Feeding of sharks and piranhas Wed, Sun 3pm
Feeding of reptiles Sun 10am, Thu 7pm
Admission: Children (3-5) 4 euro, Children (6-15) 5.90 euro, Retirees 9.90 euro, Adults 12.90 euro.

View of Vienna

Another attraction is the panoramic view of Vienna's sea of houses from the roof terrace. Athletic visitors can climb the 192 steps of the tower stairs on the outside to enjoy the view from a height of 35 meters, independent of a trip to the zoo.
