Never had so much fun at a zoo, well designed and the animals are accessible. Kids loved seeing the animals up close. If in Pattaya, this is a must do especially with kids or even otherwise. Wide variety of animals including seals and meer cats.

The zoo is great as you can touch some of the animals. But when you parked the car to see the animals, the car became very hot due to the sun. It should be better to rent the golf car instead.

It is located in between Pattaya and Bangkok, on the expressway. We had not planned for this earlier but decided on the last moment to do this. We reached there at around noon and hired a golf cart to go around the zoo. This is one of the best zoos ou will ever see and much much better then hyped... More

Well worth visiting this zoo and most of the others are quite sad to see the animals in small and dirty cages, this open zoo sees the animals in their own habitat, can drive you own car through

The wild animals and in open and it gives a feeling of coexistence among them. The dangerous animals have a separate section. you can drive your vehicle through hence it is a very interesting experience.

We (5 adults and 6 teenagers) all loved this zoo. It was the first time that any of us had touched a white rhino, fed giraffes and elephants from our hands and been decended upon by about 50 cute but cheeky monkeys (they are gorgeous but they steal!). It's a big zoo, so a golf cart is essential or you... More

We booked a trip to this zoo and found a place to have a great day out, unfortunately we were not given enough time to look round properly-the place is massive.I would recommend you go by yourself and hire a golf buggy to get round and you will see far more than we did.Our driver just wanted to get the...

If you've ever been to Dubbo, or Singapore zoos, then this will seem a bit lame. But all the same, it was fun to drive around and stop at certain points to see the animals.

It's a nice place with a lot of animals. The sad things is that there are a lot of abandoned building while they trying to build more and more building. The map is very confuse, I drove there and getting extremely confuse. They should paint the street with colors line or arrows or anything. Most animals are in good shape,... More
