Don't waste your money going in here, there is nothing special about it. On the opposite side of the palace there's a better looking garden and it's completely free. In fact, there's a HUGE area of free gardens beyond this one, I don't see the point of charging 5 euros to show something we can see for free right next to it. There is a platform that you can climb to get an "aerial view", but that's totally dismissable (and not worth 5 euros). Maybe charging 1 euro to climb the stairs would be acceptable.

It's a nice garden but nothing more than the huge garden for free outside. It's not worth the extra 4,5€ to visit it.

Come on. This is my first time ever giving a 1-star review, but that should not cost you anything. You pay for nothing. You can see back of the palace for free which is way more beaufiful than this little garden, which is not even taken care of properly.

The sculpted garden space between the palace and the Neptune Fountain is called the Great Parterre. The French garden, a big part of the area, was planned by Jean Trehet, a disciple of André Le Nôtre, in 1695. It contains, among other things, a maze. The complex however includes many more attractions: Besides the Tiergarten, an orangerie erected around 1755, staple luxuries of European palaces of its type, a palm house (replacing, by 1882, around ten earlier and smaller glass houses in the western part of the park) is noteworthy. Western parts were turned into English garden style in 1828–1852. The area called Meidlinger Vertiefung to the west of the castle was turned into a play area and drill ground for the children of the Habsburgs in the 19th century. At this time it was common to use parks for the military education of young princes. Whereas the miniature bastion, which was built for this purpose, does not exist anymore, the garden pavilion that was used as shelter still does. It was turned into a café in 1927 and is known as Landtmann’s Jausen Station since 2013. At the outmost western edge, a botanical garden going back to an earlier arboretum was re-arranged in 1828, when the Old Palm House was built. A modern enclosure for Orangutans, was restored besides a restaurant and office rooms in 2009.

Schonbrunner Garden is located just behind the palace. It was opened for the public in 1779. It is a very big garden, 1.2 km east to west and 1 km north to south. At the end of long pathway there is a beautiful fountain called Neptune. Beyond fountain on a small hill (200 ft) there is Gloriette, which has got a cafe and observation deck. The view from top is amazing. The garden has got thousand of flowers and beautiful landscaping. It also has got world's oldest zoo, maze and children's museum. There is no entry fee for garden but for other facilities one has to pay. In summer it is open from 6.30 AM to 9 PM. For disabled people free wheelchairs are available at the entrance. Since 1996 the palace and garden are on UNESCO list of World Heritage sites. About 8 million people visit this place every year. A great place for visitors and families...

Beautiful and unique garden

Nice place, but don't think it's worth the money for the entry

The garden was very beautiful but it had more dust due to extensive visit by the tourists . It's a great place to have couple of selfies and some cool pictures. The garden is crowded most of the times. Kids will love this for sure as there are plenty of games which will keep them busy.

I mean, nice garden and you can maybe take cute photos in the tunnels, but not really worth the 4.50 €

Not well maintained. You can go to the adjacent large garden for free which is far more beautiful. Therefore, unfortunately, not worth the ticket price.

Not worth visiting. The garden looked dead when I was there. Luckily, I didn’t pay a full 5€ to get in as it was included in a classic pass, or else I would be more regret. The free garden on the other side of the palace wing looked much better!

First of all, the access is done trough the left side of the Schönbrun. The gardens are interesting, but as seen in other reviews, it's pretty small. If you get the classic pass plus you get access to it too. I wouldn't recommend paying the ticket just for it. It's a nice place with lime trees and passages covered by nature. You also get a nice view if you climb up the platform.

Perfect presentation👍

nice garden, but I think the view here in spring will be more beautiful than in the winter

Not worth it. 4.50eur to see a small garden that isn't taken care of (lots of growth and weeds).

I entered during the garden of lights. 18 euros is a bit much for just a few lights. Probably not worth it.

The palace is worth visiting especially the gardens

Very nicely landscaped garden, we looked at Lumagica, very nice (unfortunately my phone doesn't take photos)

I visited the palace and the gardens during a rainy day and I only wish there were some paved paths in the gardens. Finding the crown prince's garden was a little difficult and confusing. Except for that the visit was great, I would definitely recommend it for a sunny day!

The garden is beautiful, small, but beautiful, the low rating is because of the entry. We had online tickets, the barcode works perfect everywhere in the palace, but not here, you have to scan your online ticket at ticket oddice where the guy is not helpful at all, the scanner is placed under the sun, it's not working just if you push your ticket towards the reader...

We alked past this on the way to the main gardens. It is located on the side of the palace. We went during winter so it didn't look like it was open but it did look like there was a viewing platform inside and the gate exit out to the main garden.

Nice area with beautiful views of the palace

I think the ticket costs too much, but it's very nice place
