A place often overlooked by tourists, the zoo is a good place to kill time and see animals(and people) sleeping. Come on a weekend to see how the Vietnamese unwind.

The animals are in prison like all zoos but it has a wide variety, definitely worth the entrance fee even if it is a bit run down

Well worth a visit if you're in town with kids. Some of the exhibits are dated and the big cats enclosures are a throwback to about 30 years ago in the west. Gardens are well kept.

50k VND to enter (1/2 for kids<1.30cm). This place is totally underrated! 🐘, 🦓, 🦒, 🦏, white 🐅, 🐆, 🦛 , 🦩, 🦧, 🐢,🐒,🐫, 🐃.. plus a massive park to walk around. And the animals seemed happy. 🔝

Wear good walking shoes as its a fairly big zoo. Kids will love it!! U can also take a zoo car if u like. Bring umbrellas with u as it could rain at any time :)

Such a great experience. Have been here twice now and my favourite thing would be feeding the monkeys! 😍😍

Better than we thought it would be, but still quite a way to go to achieve appropriate animal welfare standards. Worth a visit if you live in Hcmc with kids

The animals does not look so happy there, since it is dirty. If you come early there is a pool for small children, in addition there are also many rollercoaster for children, but this costs extra

best time to visit the zoo is 7am - 930am. When it is cooler in the morning and zoo keepers are feeding the animals.

Out dated zoo with animals in small cages, felt sorry for them. Botanical garden is not really a botanical garden, just some plants everywhere in the zoo.

I’m embarrassed to say I paid to visit this “Zoo”. Don’t paid to these animals in-prisoned.

It's a zoo. Nice park, not completely necessary but afterwards you can stop by Le Banh Mi (12 le thanh ton st) for a sandwich and a beer.

Tried to find giraffes - no fortune. Impressive crocodiles and hippos - sooooo scary beasts! Be careful with them - too close!

This is can be an option for your morning run to avoid traffic pollution of Saigon. Huge trees and animals noise as if you are away from the city !

Awful place! Animal well-being is clearly not a priority. I saw several animals injured or depressed. I feel bad to give money to people treating animals so badly.

Я люблю зоопарки, но тут конечно заели блохи и огромное количество крыс. Это конечно минус

Không gian xanh mát, sạch sẽ hơn trước và có thêm một vài thú quý hiếm. Cuối tuần cùng gia đình, bạn bè vào đây thư giản & "lọc phổi" cũng thú vị lắm đấy.

Симпатичный! Бедноватый по социалестически, но животные в порядке, в своем микроклимате. Обижают их только местные аборигены.
