The highlight of my visit was being able to ride the cable cars. It was too expensive when I came last 50 years ago.
The funiculars and views were spectacular! It was cloudy and snowed the day we went, but it didn't take away from God's beauty!
Tickets worked just fine. Had a lovely trip to the top of Innsbruck and the Alpen Zoo halfway up to/doen from the top. Great value for money.
View from top of Innsbruck. Animals in Alpine zoo were well kept. No noticable stress behaviour, except in few bird species kept in smaller "ecological boxes" cases.
Fantastic experience, well worth the ride to the top.
Superb experience Too bad the weather was bad and we couldn't admire the panorama.

Great experience, getting almost to the top of Innsbruck was awesome. Well organized and very well run
Goodnigt, this afternoon I went on a trip to the top of Innsbruck. I had previously purchased my ticket online but I didn't know what it included. I looked for information at a house at the first stop and asked and showed it to a girl with blonde hair if my ticket (digital) included the cable car ride. She said no and so I bought a new one because my goal was to go to the top. In other words, I paid double due to an error in the information provided by the employee. I would like the ticket purchase to be refunded or cancelled. I am attaching the tickets and receipts for the same date and similar times. I appreciate your attention. Sérgio Ricardo Christofoletti
What a great experience little bit expensive but it is well worth it. If you are in innsbruck I cannot recomend this enough. Super easy to use the tickets and something we won't forget
The time you have to enjoy the experience is flexible. Upon my arrival accessing the attraction was easy. You just have to scan the QR code to access the tram to the top of the mountain. The ride up and down was very smooth and the tram comes often so you can go up or down easily. I suggest enjoy a nice meal at the restaurant at the very top. They have a nice menu of traditional foods and great beverage offerings.
It was good. Although you said that app works offline. I had trouble accessing the ticket offline. On WIFI it worked fine. Thanks!
A fantastic service, amazing zoo and spectacular views. Worth every penny
recommended my family and I did everything and it is 100 percent functional and I recommend it for those traveling to austria.

The Fanicular experience was very good as the Bahn was punctual, clean and professional.
On Saturday 24.5. 25 the access to the congress parking garage was very limited due to an event / city run. Therefore other parking garage chosen - no reduction of the parking fee. In addition, the access to the Cityparkgarage is not clearly recognizable for those unfamiliar with the area One-way regulation Ticket price is too high

Everything was shit: No lockers for my luggage !!! Absolutely bad signposting - both in Innsbruck and at the zoo !!! In the end I only felt disgust and hatred towards Innsbruck !!!

The hall with the ice was closed for renovation work and that was nowhere to be read, disappointing. The signposts are not optimally laid out, it was not easy to find your way around. The highlight was the hanging crystals in the dark room.

Come early and skip crowd in the chambers. It is exclusiveness witnessing sparkling lights of Swarovski crystals. I really do appreciate that there is amazing installations from artists all over the world. Every now and then there are new art installations so it is nice to come again and have a completely different experience.
The exploded crystal room with the heart beat. Mesmerising 🤩
The art exhibits inside museum were mind boggling. Enjoyed every part of the museum.
