We are planning to visit Innsbruck from Salzburg in a couple of weeks. We will have a car and can do a day trip. We will have our 1-yr old with us. I found out that it takes 2 hrs to get to Innsbruck. Due to the short time, do we focus only in the old town area? Can we also visit Zell am See on the way back or will it be too much to do in a day?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Innsbruck is not as spectacular as Salzburg but definitely worth a visit in my opinion. Opposed to Salzbug there is less to see - the old town is rather small. A day is perfect to see Innsbruck and its surroundings. On your way to Innsbruck (or on the way back) I would stop in Hall which is a little town East of Innsbruck. Hall owns a very cute central part that is worth walking through. In Innsbruck I would focus on the usual stuff:
Old town (www.innsbruck.info)
Ambras Castle (http://www.khm.at/en/ambras-castle/)
Hafelekar Outlook Point at 2.200m above sea level (http://www.nordpark.com/)
Alpine Zoo
Zell am See should be feasible if you start quite early although it would be better to do it on an other day to avoid hassle and disappointment. Or dismiss the castle as well as the ooutlook point in the mountains. To get there from Innsbruck I would drive through the Zillertal Valley and the Gerlos Alpine Road (http://www.gerlosstrasse.at/) to Krimml where you could stop for the majestic waterfalls. Then proceed to Zell am See and Salzburg.

Thanks a lot Mikey_Vienna for your suggestions.
As usual, they were excellent and we will follow them.
