It is one of the few zoos worldwide to house specimens of the giant panda. The zoo's pandas are named Yang Yang and Long Hui. Other zoo attractions include a rainforest house, in which the spectator is led through a simulation of the Amazon Rainforest, and an aquarium, which enables spectators to walk through underneath a simulation of the Amazon in flood. The new polarium for animals of the Arctic region was opened in early 2004.

Since its privatisation in 1992, it has been led by Helmut Pechlaner, also president of WWF Austria, who managed to modernise most parts of the zoo and sustain its financial situation.
