The staff was super kind and the animals were so cute! I never saw so many baby animals until today! The animals definitely seem happy here with the big spaces.

I understand that this zoo is only full of animals that are found locally or nearby, but I was…read morestill hoping for something a little more exciting than moose or bears. Those were by far the most exotic and cool animal to view. The mapping of this place is crazy. Awful location. It's right on a hill and it's all uphill or downhill. The zoo is also incredibly hard to navigate and I couldn't get out for a bit! The aquarium is disappointing. Overall, I feel like this zoo needs to step up its mapping within the park so people know where they are going and also need to bring some new attractions to the zoo.

Alpsee was absolutely beautiful and one of our favorite scenic stops in the Füssen/Schwangau area…read more The lake is surrounded by mountains and forest, with gorgeous clear water and views toward Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles. We stopped here while visiting the castles and I'm so glad we took the time to see the lake. It was peaceful, incredibly picturesque and a nice break from the much busier castle areas. There is also a walking trail around the lake if you have more time. The full loop is about 5.2 km and takes roughly 1.5 hours, but you definitely don't have to walk the entire thing to enjoy the views. Pet friendly for walking around the lake, which is another big plus! Dogs are also welcome in the kiosk area of the Alpseebad, although not on its swimming lawn. Absolutely worth stopping at when visiting Neuschwanstein or Hohenschwangau. The scenery is gorgeous and it's a great place for photos!

If you're headed to Schloss Neuschwanstein, you'll stop first in the town of Schwangu, and before…read moreyou do any hiking up to the castle - you'll see Lake Alpsee! And it's worth visiting Schwangu and the lake in their own right, if you want to stay near Neuschwanstein and see a little/a lot of cool nature. Alpsee is nestled in the foothills of the Alps, so your view will be breathtaking as you stand on the shoreline of the lake, looking at the behemoth mountains! The water is crystal clear, so you can see the rocks and shoal right through the surface. It's heralded as one of the cleanest lakes in Germany. There are swans and other fowl that like to lay claim to Alpsee and they also make for great photos as they glide across the pristine water. There are boats available for rent, great swimming spots in the lake, and hiking trails all around Alpsee. So it's not just Insta-worthy here, there's also a ton to do and see. So definitely don't skip over Alpsee on your Bavarian adventure!

Want a thrill? How about a 120k/h ride down THE Olympic bobsled track...it is unreal!…read more Just outside Iglis (a few minutes from Innsbruck) is the 1964 and 1976 Olympic bobsled run. You can ride with a professional driver and rear-seater + 2 guests on each bobsled. My daughter and I took the plunge and will never forget the thrill of hitting the banked curves at such high speeds. By the latter part of the track you can hardly see as you hit turn after turn...how can the driver possibly navigate the twists and turns so well? As the bumper stick so aptly says...Get In, Hold On, Shut Up! There are 2 versions you can do: (1) the Guest Bobsled or the (2) Taxibobsled. The "Guest" starts lower and goes slower and (2) the "Taxi" starts higher at the real Olympic starting line. You can make reservations way in advance. We did not. We just showed up (maybe lucky) and paid our 90 euro each and received our numbers and were told to show back up at the track in 30 minutes. While you wait there is a very nice restaurant right there serving great food and beverages. Try a nice Radler on tap while you wait!! A crowd of 30 of us from all over the world were waiting and they marched us up a road and put us in the back of what felt like at WWII troup transport truck with wood sides and a canvas top. After being driven up a windy road to the top of the track we were unloaded. The truck immediately departed and showed back up a few minutes later with 2 bobsleds for the first 4 guests. In between each 2 bobsleds we were surprised to see the Romainian team come out to do their practice runs as our bobsleds were fetched by the troup-truck. It took a while to get through all the guests, but the staff was well organized and efficient. Most "things" we do on vacation are quite fun but can be done many other places around the world. Olympic bobsledding was a real treat. This ride was one of the highlights of an already memorable Christmastime trip to Innsbruck.
