Schonbrunn Palace

Today we traveled from Salzburg to Vienna. Dropped our luggage at the hotel and headed to Schonbrunn Palace. The Estate is huge!! Along with the enormous palace, they have the one of the biggest gardens we have ever seen. A whole zoo is in there (oldest in the world). A children’s museum, normal garden stuff like flowers and fountains, there were 3 mazes….lots to explore…we were there ALL day.

Entrance to the palace
Inside was pretty much what you would expect.
David Sr and Matthew climbed the hill and were rewarded with amazing views!

The zoo on the grounds was quite large and had a very impressive display of animals.

Apparently we came at naptime!
The koala really seems done with life.
How are such angry animals so cute?
Baby seal was 14 days old
Wildest animals in the whole zoo!!

We also did all the mazes, Heather was apparently more excited to find the exit than the people around her though.

We finally had to leave as the sun was going down and they were closing.

While waiting for our uber, the boys got to experience a street performer for the first time.

We had eaten enough local food, so we opted for tacos.

      lol, it’s possible, he’s silly like that.

      It definitely is on par with Versailles!! I think in Versailles, the garden was better, but I think the palace(s) here are better/more grandiose. The Hapsburgs ruled for a really long time and it shows!!
