Just one kilometer north of Innsbruck's Old Town center is the 15th-century Schloss Weiherburg, home to Alpenzoo Innsbruck-Tyrol.
This beautifully situated zoo is well known for its collection of mountain animals from the world's Alpine regions, including mammals, birds, and reptiles.
More than 2,000 animals from 150 different Alpine species are kept here, along with an abundance of marine life in the cold-water aquarium. It's a wonderful outing for kids of all ages, and well worth a visit for its views and park-like setting.
