If you can get past the legions of screaming children and people with baby carriages on the first…read morefloor, you could actually enjoy this spot. The first floor space is pretty enclosed and seems to amplify any noise. I visited with my mother who is in her late 70s. We didn't know it, but because she was in a motorized wheelchair, she got reduced admission, and I got in free as her caretaker, great bonus! But it was ROUGH on the first floor. So many kids and I don't know why, but it seemed like all of them were screaming at once. We decided to jump ship and go straight to the top floor and work our way down and that was a great idea. It was actually a calm enough environment that we could enjoy ourselves. Plus, the views from the top floors of the city of Vienna are incredible. The building itself is really interesting architecture with a very abstract shape. It's not just an aquarium, although there are several floors and exhibits dedicated to marine life. They had all kinds of animals! There was an area on the top floor that was like a giant wraparound birdcage that you could walk through and 100s of parakeets were flying all around us. We saw a giant turtles, lemurs, all types of lizards, sharks, eels etc. My favorite exhibit was definitely a three floor area that was like a walk-in monkey exhibit. There were several types of monkeys and they ran all around you! You've got to be aware, though, if you try to stand under a monkey and take a selfie, it might pee on you- I actually saw it happen! I get that this is a great place to bring kids but dang these people seem like they had no boundaries and they were just all going crazy. That being said, I think it's worth a visit but my recommendation would be to visit on one of the earlier weekdays, not towards the weekend. Hopefully it wouldn't be as crowded.

The Haus des Meeres in Vienna is more than just an aquarium…read more It offers one of the city's best panoramic views. As you explore its viewing platforms, make sure to take a moment to look out over the bustling neighborhoods below. The sight of old and new Vienna in the distance is brilliant. So glad we stopped for the views.

This is the oldest zoo in Europe. You couldn't tell though because it's one of the most…read moreprogressive. They've massively expanded spaces for the animals who need to roam like the elephants and rhino. The polar bear exhibit is spacious and gives the animals a place to hide. The panda has one of the best environments that I've ever seen. It's a nice centralized zoo with one center restaurant that comes to the middle. It's very much about the animals. They put a lot of revenue in and don't do a lot of marketing. There are good sit down foods. Beer gardens. Petting zoo and big play area. Even the walkways and public spaces are amazingly well planted and kept up. After Singapore, my second best zoo in the world.

The Schönbrunn Zoo (Tiergarten Schönbrunn) is touted as the oldest zoo in the world, so we did pop…read morein to see it while wandering the Schönbrunn grounds. It unfortunately does seem like it's the oldest zoo, too. I don't like zoos in general, but where I live, we have one of the world's best zoos (The Henry Doorly Zoo), where the animals have lots of room to roam and live their best lives - as best they can while being in a zoo anyway. But the Schönbrunn Zoo seemed very cramped and a lot older of a set up for the animals there. It kind of made me sad to see them in smaller enclosures. They seemed to be hiding a lot from all the people too. We decided to leave pretty quickly after looking around a bit. I think it's a good thing for kids to do vs. what the parent's probably are wanting to do (seeing the Schönbrunn Palace and grounds), so maybe it's a good thing to have, but just was not up my alley.

Great dog daycare place! Yes, I know, to some of u it might be weird to put ur dog into doggie…read morekindergarten, but let me tell u this. Do u love ur dog andwant him or her to be happy and healthy? Do u work all day and the dog is home alone? Then this is the right place for ur dog to play, make friends and have fun. The owner is really nice, loves each and every dog in her care and takes really good care of them. And best of all, Molly (my Westy) loves this place, we only take her there once a week but shes always really excited to go there and exhausted from all the playtime when I pick her up. :)

Their homepage is one of the best I have ever seen for a pet shop…read more Being welcomed by a gigantic dog and the dogs by water and food they can try, you feel like being just at the right place. Almost everybody knows "Fressnapf", but this pet shop is topping everything!!! The selection of products is gigantic, namely for EACH of pet groups, e.g. cats, dogs, fish, birds, etc. The service is absolutely fabulous , they really know what they are talking about. They also have their own magazine giving advice on pet issues. There is a pet food card, by which you get reductions. Vouchers are also given. The living animals, they offer are well-kept and look healthy and happy. Hats off!!!

I hadn't even had her for 24 hours and she trying to cough up a lung. She kept me up all night with worry. But one visit with Peter and she got antibiotics and anti-inflammatory stuff and cough medicine. She slept through the whole night nearly. Coughed a little but didn't cough anything up. Suffice to say I think both Meghan Barkle and me are big fans of Peter. Word to the wise though bring a book and make sure you don't have a pressing appointment after. I made a 9:30 appointment, arrived at 9:26 and wasn't seen until 11:00. I kid you not. So make sure you have something to do and some time to burn.

In the same time we were new in Vienna and our cat hasn't had a currant doctor in town. We phoned to take an appointment and we've been received the very next day . The whole team was great; every member checking our cat and being very very careful with her symptoms. They also checked on her during the w-end time !!! After 3 visits I've Learned to trust them and yes, I can recommend them like good doctors with big hearts.
