Saigon Zoo & Botanical Gardens Ticket in Ho Chi Minh City

Very good day spent in the zoo. We went on a Sunday so it was more crowded that usual. We skipped the ticket line which was good but if you want it a bit cheaper you should buy the tickets on site: 60,000vnd for adults

For a deeper dive into Vietnam’s history, the Cu Chi Tunnels was absolutely fascinating. It’s also an intense but worthwhile experience, especially if you love history. On the same journey, the Cao Dai Temple offered a completely different atmosphere—peaceful, colorful, and spiritually intriguing. Learning about the unique blend of religions practiced there added depth to the trip. Plus, the playful monkeys around the area added a lighthearted touch (just keep an eye on your belongings!). Finally, Sun World Ba Den Mountain was easily one of the highlights. The cable car ride alone is breathtaking, giving you panoramic views as you ascend the mountain. But the real thrill? The alpine coaster. It’s fast, fun, and an absolute must-try—ending the trip on such an adrenaline high was the perfect finale.

first things first... yes some of the animals look a little skinny and very hot but.... that is literally the only negative I can find with this place. All of the animals were being fed when we arrived early in the morning. There is so much shade and a cool breeze even through the park. the flowers and gardens are gorgeous and there is literally thousands of photo opportunities around. all of the animals had adequate enclosures a d after speaking with some staff about an animal missing a limb they explained that most of their animals are rescues from Asian medicine farms, exotic animal farms and black market sales... so yeah they are a little bit different... but now they get a wonderful life out of a box. there are lots of babies around the park at the moment too. if you aren't one for a zoo sort of thing (animals in enclosures) then I suggest buying the tickets just to help the cause. there's also a little kid ride area. oh and get on the Ferris wheel. amazing views!!

A must visit when you are in Ho Chi Minh. We went on a weekday afternoon and it was very laidback visit in a zoo. We got out passed 5pm but no one was rushing us to leave. We had fun interacting with the capybaras too for only 70k vnd (separate payment) and the lady there is very nice. Overall, you won’t regret visiting this and the entrance is very affordable.

The zoo is an older one, but with so many animals it was a lot of fun for my family. The up close experiences was more than anywhere we've been before. You get to see the animals closer and feel like the experience is well worth it. All the animals look happy and healthy and we really enjoyed our time. We liked it so much this was our second time going. We came back because the zoo is so big that we saw all the stuff we missed the previous time. They have a park for the kids which makes it even better. This time around they had a fun show Also that my boys really enjoyed. We would definitely go back again. And the price is so reasonable! 🐘

Fantastic experience! The variety of animals (especially the elephants , otters, giraffes and hyenas) was impressive. Pro tip: Book via Klook to bypass the queues. It’s very humid, so an umbrella and water are must-haves. Expect some animal odors, but it’s well worth the visit for a fun day out!

Went on the weekend so it was a bit crowded. The kids here are very cute and I also got to touch the deer, goats and feed the giraffes. The park is a bit old so I hope the management board can soon repair and upgrade the accommodation for the kids.

They send you a QR code which you can scan immediately at the gate. Its a really big zoo with lots of animals and there's an amusement park and pool inside as well. You can fees the animals for 10k VND and you can also pet the Capybaras which i highly recommend.
