I absolutely recommend to visit this beautiful castle, and while you're at it, i really recommend also seeing the Niederweiden Castle. It's not far from Slovakia on feet, or if u wanna take a bike. Some might say that the ticket price is too high, but i think it's really worth it. The gardens are beautiful, you really can see the hard work of all of the staff while looking at the state of the lands and gardens, also there are many animals, that look well taken care of at the farmhouses belonging to the castle SchloßHof. The exhibitions of Sisi and her son were very informative and nicely done, i was really surprised to see that the staff included slovak translations to the main german descriptions and at the start of the exhibitions, you also could find english booklets with the same translations of the whole exhibitions. I would like to also thank all the staff that worked on 28. September, you really made my day even better than it was, from lady at the souvenir shop, the lady at the cash desk, to the lady and mr. Roman who kindly drove us to castle Niederweiden by bus even tho we missed the official time it was supposed to go and then were even willing to arrange a time that worked for us to take us back. Im really sorry I didn't catch all your names but you are the best. All in all, this was a great experience that was worth every last cent i paid for the ticket. Really recommend, you won't regret it.

I apsolutely reccomend visit to the castle. It is really easy to walk to or bike to it from Slovakia. Everything was apsolutely perfect, there are big gardens with beautiful flowers and other plants. There are also many animals and the zoo covers great surface so just that is worthy of the ticket price. When it comes to the castle Schloss Hof and Niederweiden themselves, the whole experience is worthy every cent. The exhibitions of Sisi and her son were very informative, exhibits were explained in both Slovak and German and booklets with English explanations were on entrance of exhibitions. There are also an interactive parts of exhibition and trough whole castle ground so they are great for family with children. Personel was very kind, they tried answering to every question we had, they were smiling and looking very friendly, but I would especially like to praise the booking clerks who brought us by bus to castle Niederweiden and then back. I feel sorry I didn't catch names of our first driver and also the booking clerk but I would kindly thank them, and second driver Roman was very kind to drive us to the beggining of road to bridge. All in all,great experience, all my recommendations, you won't regret it.

Great place to bring kids. There are guided tours in the palace. The palace itself is quite big, the exhibition is entertaining and interesting, even without a guide. A baroque garden in the front of the palace is perfectly maintained and very beautiful. The view from the upper part of the garden is fantastic. Some parts of the garden are still under construction, but everything is looking very promising. There is a petting zoo near the palace, as well as an orangery, a restaurant and there are some farm animals kept in the outdoor enclosures, which are quite large and go far into fields. The petting zoo is the main attraction for children. Animals are tame. The restaurant offers good regional food, which originates from their own farm. The dishes are entitled in a strange way which refers to royals or royal history, but in fact they are mostly ordinary farmer's dishes. A vegetable garden and a flower garden are situated nearby. The territory (which is huge) has many smaller attractions to be seen (horse stables, cab house, etc). On holidays like Christmas or Easter, a seasonal market with all its delights is arranged. A car parking area is huge. Schlosshof is easily reached from Vienna by car (50-55 min).

Got bus 29 from most snp in Bratislava, cost less than 2€. Schloss Hof is about a 40 min walk from the bus stop. We were gonna rent a bike from the shop by the bus stop but unfortunately the rental shop is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so we walked. Lovely walk across the bridge into Austria and didn't feel like 40 min. The grounds of Schloss Hof are lovely. There are nice buildings to investigate, a mini zoo/ pet farm and places to eat, chip can and restaurant. The day we went, there was a kite flying festival. Was really sunny and a great place to spent the day! The castle itself was lovely. Really well done and upkept. Audio guide available and self tour. It was interesting however sometimes confusing and hard to hear the audio guide. The gardens were lovely. Really pretty spot and great views of the country side. We had a great day at the Schloss Hof and will definitely return in the future. Please like of you found this review helpful!

Very nice to visit. Plan more than 2 hours, because it is huge and if weather is nice the garden with camel, horses, donkeys etc. and a lot of plants and palms is beautiful for recreation and picnic. You can also visit the castle inside or have a marriage party there. I would consider it especially as a place for kids to run free and have fun while parents can relax with a coffee or beer. Maybe bring some snacks if you want to safe money. But you can buy ice cream between 2€-5€. Or a hotdog 🌭 (4,50€). There is also a restaurant named after the white peacock 🦚 living there. You can order local Austrian food and perfect coffee. Entrance is a bit expensive. To keep the Areal so nice costs a lot. If you do not live too far away you should consider if a ticket for one year. You can use it use it also for special events like Easter or Christmas market and Halloween in the garden labyrinth (not too spooky for kids, but a small adventure).

Description
Schloss Hof is a palace located in Marchfeld, Austria near the border of Slovakia. It once belonged to Prince Eugene of Savoy who purchased it late in his life in 1726. He had it enlarged in the Baroque style by the architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1729, and used it as an elaborate hunting lodge.
