There are many kinds of animals in this zoo, and the entrance fee is also reasonable. In particular, there are French baboons, crocodiles, giant pandas, and many other species that we have never seen in person. You can see them on this phone. I spent an hour with my family to enjoy the animals, but I still haven't seen everything. You can spend more than an hour or half a day in this zoo to see al...

The entrance to the Saigon Zoo is very affordable, making it a nice option for a casual outing. The place has a really positive and lively atmosphere, filled with families, kids, and locals enjoying their day. It's quite a large area, so walking through it can take some time-especially under the hot weather-but it's worth it if you take your time and explore different sections. My favorite part w...

It was a lovely overcast day, warm but not too hot. Most creatures were happy putting on a bit of a display. There were several school groups and several tourist, completely relaxed strolling through the zoo. Some enclosures were closed for maintenance or upgrade. We had a great time on the rides; the roller coaster is perfect for that little adrenaline kick you might need.
