We used our Salzburg card, took a bus out to the zoo on a very cold day in December. We felt like we had the place to ourselves at times, we saw so many animals, had a great snack in the café again only a few customers. We liked the porcupinesmost of all, but saw wildcats And many other animals. Would really recommend for families visiting the area.

We weren't planning to go to the zoo, but we were wandering around Hellbrun Gardens and there it was. (We used a 1-day Salzburg card, which, between free public transportation and free access to most attractions in town, more than paid for itself.) Beautiful setting, with many animal enclosures along an escarpment that gave the animals plenty of room to move around while giving visitors a good look at them. The cafeteria food was reasonably priced and delicious. Definitely worth a half-day visit.

We planned to visit the Zoo. A side attraction was for us the Hellbrunn park. You have to pay for the parking. When we were there, there was enough space, and the parking ticket was not expensive. With Salzburg card we had got a free entry. I think there is no anything special. It is "just" a standard zoo, but combined with the Hellbrunn park it is a great program.
