A huge wonderful zoo. Many animals are without cages, you can feed them. There are elephant and penguin shows. There is transport for tourists on the territory, you can stop at different locations, and after viewing go further. It is best to go by yourself, without groups and guides, it is not expensive to take a taxi from Pattaya. An unequivocal recommendation to visit regardless of age.

A very unusual zoo! I'm used to a little bit different, so I was a little "broken" by this format). But on the other hand, where else can you feed Lions and tigers with meat almost up close, looking eye to eye, and also see a live white lion through one glass partition?! This lion "fell in love" with me when he came out of the thicket right at me, an amazing sight! Otherwise, it wasn't possible to look closely everywhere, and this is such a microminus... And so, of course, it is very interesting to see many exotic animals, and even to feed some (for example, giraffes and elephants). And macaques almost sat on their heads, so take care of your personal belongings).

I went on an excursion with a tour operator, and the zoo as a whole left positive emotions. We were transported around the territory by shuttle, which was convenient because the territory is quite large. For 30 baht, they took grass to feed rhinos and elephants, and a bunch of eucalyptus for giraffes also cost 30 baht. The best time to travel is at the opening itself, since from about 11 o'clock there simply won't be enough people there, and accordingly, you won't be able to approach the aviaries normally. Among the disadvantages for myself, I can note that some animals, in my opinion, have a very small territory, and there is plenty of free land in the zoo itself. PS if the local mosquitoes perceive you as a buffet, take spray with you - there are a lot of mosquitoes in the zoo jungle.

It's a very cool place, we came here several times with a child. There is a large territory, and I recommend buying a large basket of pet food at the entrance. You can feed hippos from the bridge, hand-feed giraffes, rhinoceros and flamingos, and feed lions. In recent years, the zoo's policy has been changing and giraffes are no longer so close, but I'm glad that we managed to catch this time)

We visited the zoo on an August weekday. There were a lot of Thai students, but there were almost no other people. Towards lunchtime, the students left and the park became almost deserted. Regarding the zoo itself: - Most of the animals really look very well-groomed and the caretakers treat them with care. However, as it seemed to us, the penguins were not very happy. They need a normal, good aviary with the opportunity to hide and accommodate somewhere. Koala also seems very lonely, as she lives alone and she definitely needs a mate. - In large enclosures (for example, hippos), garbage is scattered along the shore. It is sad. Despite this, most of the other enclosures look well maintained. - Many people write about an elephant on a chain: yes, it really is there. This is one of all elephants with large long tusks. Judging by the large plaque with the description of this elephant, he is chained up because he shows aggression to both tourists and caretakers. The caretakers themselves don't know what to do with him, as he can no longer be released into the wild. Although I still feel sorry for him. - The local attraction, the hippopotamus Mu Deng, has already grown up. She's still cute, but she's already big. In general, there are a couple more points: - Take golf cards or tram tickets. It is very difficult to get around the zoo without them in the heat. - The food in the main food center is not very tasty. But there's a 7-eleven nearby. He saves - The new pink zone is large, but empty. There is an Australia pavilion, and then the construction of new aviaries - Monkeys steal always and everywhere. Don't leave anything in the golf cart (monkeys have been seen climbing in there and tearing up packages several times) - Please don't litter. It's a banal thing, but it needs to be reminded for some reason. - Thai schoolchildren like to "drag" monkeys because of this monkeys become more aggressive

Wow, visiting the zoo didn't happen. This is my personal opinion. Yes, it's a huge territory. You can rent a golf cart and drive through its entire territory. There are a lot of animals, but some you just don't see, because they hide somewhere in the shade or sleep in the bushes. It's just a matter of luck. The coolest thing about this zoo is the lemurs! Be sure to study the days when you can get to them and feed them. The elephant bathing show did not cause delight, but rather pity for these amazing animals. In general, the zoo is clean and well maintained. Beware of monkeys in parking lots

The park is just a fairy tale, we took an excursion to two parks. And both of us were amazed by both the scale and the animals. And we fed them, and looked at them, and rode elephants. The children and the adults themselves were delighted. I definitely recommend you to visit 👍 You won't regret it a bit.

The zoo is a nature reserve. A large zoo of 800 hectares. You can feed the animals by buying a bunch of grass for 30 baht. Wild monkeys run around the park, stealing food from visitors and can easily get into a bag, they are chased with slingshots, but this is literally for 30 seconds and they come back. There is a special transport for large groups. You can also come on your own and pay 599 baht per person.

I really liked the zoo. I advise you to take a golf cart. We took a three-wheeler right at the entrance, that's not it, go a little further, there are normal 4-wheelers, more reliable. The zoo is large, with many locations. We got to feed capybaras - they can be fed on weekends and holidays. It's been three hours, and we're tired, but I don't think we've bypassed everyone.

An amazing zoo, we definitely recommend you to visit, two adults and a child of 11 years old liked it very much, the buzz is indescribable, we will definitely come again sometime. The animals are kept in very good conditions and it can be seen that with a lot of love. Everything is conveniently organized, clean and there are practically no bad smells. Tickets were taken on a trip (300 baht / adult, children up to 130 cm 107 baht), from Pattaya they got by car. It's better to arrive early, after 12 it's already hot, parking is packed, crowds of people and queues everywhere. The entrance by car to the parking lot is 80 baht. The territory is huge, it's impossible to get around on foot. You can buy a ticket for a bus that runs throughout the zoo or take an electric car (500 baht / 2 hours, the second 2 hours 400 baht), for this they take your passport as a deposit (they won't give it without it). Alternatively, you can take your car to the second territory (there are Australian animals, tigers, orangutans), and take a bus to the first one, then you can save on an electric car. The schedule of the birds, penguins and elephants shows in the photo. You need to take up a seat in half an hour, and you won't be able to approach it in 10 minutes. Feeding capybaras and visiting lemur island only on weekends. Feeding giraffes every day. The feed costs about 20, about 50 baht. Ferry to lemurs 50 baht. There are many food outlets throughout the zoo, they are monotonous with burgers, hot dogs, etc., the prices are not too high. Brazen monkeys are also running around everywhere, a bottle of water was pulled out of our electric car and the chips were taken away from the child, so do not leave anything unattended. But in general they are not aggressive.

A very big and beautiful zoo! It's unrealistically hot to walk, but you can take off your golf cart and travel everywhere on it, which is very convenient (for the pink zone, a golf cart is simply necessary because there are long distances there). It says that they take a passport as a deposit. We gave you the rights, we took them without any problems. The zoo's map says that you can get to the pink zone by private car. There are several shows during the day (elephants, penguins and others), we visited elephants: the show is quite short, in a hot, stuffy room, but where else will you see an elephant swimming). It is profitable to buy tickets on tripcom.

An open-air zoo on a vast territory! Many animals can be viewed very closely and fed! Beware of swarms of wild monkeys, these bandits descend from the mountains and take away the food bought by visitors for zoo animals! The territory is large, it is better to take a transport to travel through it.

We visited this zoo 9 years ago, and we were absolutely delighted! Having arrived with the children now, of course I wanted to show them Khao Kheo! Previously, at the entrance, for a small amount of money, you could buy a large bag with various fruits and vegetables for animals; then on the way to feed the animals, pet them) Now there are only bunches of grass, which none of the animals really ate. There used to be more freedom, like, now there are fences, fences. And there were more animals, too, or maybe we weren't being taken to them now. Last time we took a tour on the street, the group was not large, we were lucky with a guide. Now we bought it from a tour operator, the guide is boring, a group of 30+ people. If you try not to compare, then it's not bad now, the kids liked it)

5+ Excellent zoo, must-visit. Rhinos! You can touch them by the horn!) Feed him! Giraffes just need to be fed. Zebra is easy. Behemoths can only be thrown into the mouth. Lemurs, sloths, of course, elephants. Elephants, by the way, dive. You can catch and look at it in a huge aquarium. Grass and branches for giraffes are sold everywhere, but there is no guarantee that the giraffe will fit.

Be careful with the monkey thieves. One of them stole a bag of mango from my hands, tore it out just, the guides say it's better to give it away, otherwise they can bite or scratch.

An amazing zoo where you can and should go for the whole day. The territory is huge, shuttle basses plying a number of routes allow you to cover distances faster. Many animals can be fed. The food is sold directly at the aviaries, you need cash, stock up on small money before the trip. I want to feed everyone without stopping, it's such a feeling) Interactive programs with penguins and elephants will not leave you indifferent) cold drinks are sold at every turn, there are many cafes and toilets on site, it is very convenient. What surprised me was that there are no shops with branded souvenirs. At all. You will take only photos and memories with you as a souvenir))

I give you 4 stars because it was much cooler on the previous visit. But this was my son's first visit, and he was thrilled. Everything seems to be the same as before, but it's like there are fewer animals or something.... More fencing appeared. Previously, deer used to run everywhere at the entrance and you could feed them with asparagus. Now there are a couple of fawns and no treats for them ((. But in general, it's cool, of course. Be with the kids - must have!

The coolest and bombastic zoo, it has everything and everything, and it's just not really big, as a recommendation, take a golf cart (otherwise you'll just get tired of walking), a golf cart costs 550 baht for 2 hours, if you don't manage 200 baht from above and ride until the battery runs out. There are a lot of locations with animals, and monkeys walk alone and unceremoniously. If you go to see animals, take your bags with you, as the shaggy monkey bandits will rattle and pull out everything you like, I was unlucky I was left without a mango cocktail. Animals can be fed 20-30 baht for a tail of grass or feed. I recommend watching a rhinoceros, it's gorgeous, elephants are cool, there's no point in orangutans walking, there are two of them there and they are constantly hiding, and climbing a slope in the heat is still a pleasure. The zoo cost 750 baht for two adults, children under 3 years old for free + 550 baht for a golf cart. We went on our own, if you go from a tour operator, it's more expensive.

It's a great place, the kids liked it. To spend your time as comfortably as possible, I advise you to take a golf cart (4-seater 550 or 500 baht for 2 hours and leave your passport as a deposit). There are also 6 local ones - 700 baht like. The rental is right after the entrance, as you pass the deer, on the right. It's not very easy to move as part of a group, but it's very cool on a golf cart. There is a map on each square, arrows and pointers everywhere, so don't get lost...

Of the cons: - There is no wifi zone - Do not accept cards, works only at 7 levels at the entrance Otherwise, the zoo is good. You can rent a golf card for 550 baht for 2 hours (you need an original passport). They charged 1100 baht for two adults and two children. We took a taxi from Pattaya (bolt service) for 480 baht + 80 for the toll road. It turned out to be cheaper in the opposite direction - 380 + 20. You can't walk all the way, the territory is huge. There is an additional fee for the show, feeding, and lesura. Wild monkeys are climbing all over the zoo. They walk around, but they don't get impudent. They can steal something from the car.

Nice zoo! Positive: - a large number of animals, including rare ones - you can walk around the zoo, you can take a bus, you can individually take an electric car - it's pretty clean - there is something to feed the animals and where to have a snack yourself - Pattaya is only an hour away Of the disadvantages, I can only say that the ticket office is a trailer on the side in front of the entrance to the zoo parking lot - in other words: a sauna, and a locker room across the street. But this is not critical.

This is the most horrible place I've ever been in. There is not a single pointer to where to go, it is completely unclear, the map does not correspond to reality, even large maps on the stands, is it really so difficult to indicate the location where you are. It's just a nightmare. We took bus tickets and drove 100 meters, and everyone arrived. You can only take a car with a passport, but of course I didn't take it. But even with it, you can drive for half a day.
