About Tiergarten Walding
Tiergarten Walding, located in the village of Walding in Upper Austria, is a small yet charming zoo that offers a unique experience for visitors. Originally founded in 1967 as an animal shelter at a farm, it moved to its current location in 1973 and received its zoo license in 1979. The zoo is home to a variety of species, including gibbons, leopards, lions, ocelots, zebras, servals, and tigers.
Its hillside setting provides a picturesque backdrop for animal viewing. Visitors can expect a close-up experience with the animals in a more intimate environment compared to larger zoos.
Visitors can park in the designated parking area near the entrance of the zoo. Parking is free, making it convenient for families and groups. It is advisable to arrive early during peak times to secure a good parking spot.
