## Reticulated python, king cobra and a dinosaur garden

Over 1,000 animals on 4,000 square metres: the Reptilienzoo Happ in Klagenfurt is Austria’s reptile zoo with the most species. For guests from the Faaker See it is a day trip, not a quick stop.

The best-known residents are the reticulated python, the longest giant snake in the world, and the king cobra, the largest venomous snake. Outside, a shady dinosaur garden awaits.

## Why the trip to Klagenfurt is worth it

The zoo is right next to Minimundus, so you can tick off two places in one day. The snake shows cost nothing extra, and on Saturdays at 15:00 the piranhas and crocodiles are fed.

## What to expect

- Over 1,000 reptiles, among them giant snakes, venomous snakes and lizards
- Dinosaur garden outdoors with dinosaurs for children
- Free snake shows and film screenings daily
- Feeding of piranhas and crocodiles on Saturdays at 15:00
- Right next to Minimundus, easy to combine

## Our insider tip

Go on a Saturday and be there by 15:00. With a 45-minute drive, it pays to plan the day around the feeding.
