“It was nice to look at the animals and birds at close quarters. We reached in the afternoon and so weren't able to visit the botanical garden as well as the aquarium they showcased. I would suggest that you spend an entire day with family there, to be able to fully enjoy what Wilhelma has to offer.”

You could help yourself to whatever you wanted and it was always quickly refilled when something ran out. Our waiters were super attentive and always generously gave us refills. Thank you for the great evening!”
