5. Alpenzoo
Halfway between the city and top of the Nordkette, you can find Aplenzoo. Alpenzoo is one of the highest elevated zoos with its location up the mountain which gives you a beautiful view of the city below.
Hungerburgbahn also has a stop at Alpenzoo and is included in your one way up and one way down Innsbruck Card.
"The Alpine-Zoo is the only themed zoo of its type in the world that is home to such a complete collection of European alpine creatures, from animals to birds and fish." (x)
Address: Alpenzoo Innsbruck, Weiherburggasse 37a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria

All of the 4 paid attractions are included in the price of the Innsbruck Card. I have used Innsbruck card on my first visit to Innsbruck over 10 years ago and think it is a good value for money, especially if you are in the city for more than a day.
