Things to do in Khao Kheow Open Zoo

I refused to go to Thailand without seeing my girl Moo Deng! 🐷 When we got to the zoo first thing in the morning, she had just eaten and went straight for a nap — so we didn’t get to see her “rage,” but honestly, just seeing her in person completely made my day! Of course, I couldn’t resist buying a giant Moo Deng plushie, which I have zero regrets about… buuuut fitting her into my suitcase was definitely a challenge 🤣 The day we visited was incredibly humid, so walking around the park was tough. We ended up renting a golf cart, which was a lifesaver. Since it was low season, though, the mosquitoes were out in full force — by the end of the day, we were covered in bites. Come prepared with lotion and spray, and re apply more than usual! Trust me! Overall, we really enjoyed our visit to the zoo with minimal issues. Just a tip — arrange for a personal driver or book your Grab in advance, since the zoo is a bit of a drive up into the mountains.

Bang for buck! The animals are so cute and seem well taken cared of. Will recommend to friends. The swimming elephant is adorable and Moo Deng is a star!

The place is huge with many animals; it's impossible to see the entire zoo without renting a golf cart. There are a lot of monkeys that will try to snatch food and steal things from your cart, so be careful to keep an eye on your belongings and children.

I had a very satisfying trip. Most reservations on other sites were half-day group courses which were too short, and private tours were too expensive, and the duration wasn't that long. I was also worried about not being able to find a Grab or Bolt for the return trip, as there were reviews saying it was hard to get one. I found exactly the tour I wanted on Klook and booked it. I was a bit worried after booking because there were many concerning reviews. Some reviews mentioned arriving late, charging extra for the Pink Zone, or not being able to provide proper guidance due to unfamiliarity with the route. So, I inquired about the Pink Zone inclusion in advance, and prepared myself to navigate independently if the driver didn't know the way, researching a lot about Khao Kheow Open Zoo. But in conclusion, a very knowledgeable driver came and provided excellent guidance. He guided us well. He suggested the Pink Zone first. I was worried that the rental time would be delayed, but he told me not to worry. We spent about an hour in the Pink Zone and moved on to the Green Zone. Since it was a weekday, we were able to rent a cart easily with almost no wait. The car was very clean, the driver was knowledgeable, kept the appointment time, and it was a very satisfying tour. Highly recommend.

very good place to visit. thanks to klook we didn’t has to wait to get tickets. my kids loved it.

2nd time to travel to KKZ! Always here for my baby girl, Moo Deng and all the hippo family. This is a must for first time Thailand BKK travels, because KKZ is really so beautiful. Zoos in my country are just concrete and metal cages withoul life. But KKZ is different, they really made the Zoo as close to the wild as much as they can. They love the animals in KKZ specially my Moo Deng.

This is my second visit. The bouncing pig is much bigger now. The other animals are worth seeing, but there are too many wild monkeys. They steal and snatch things and can be aggressive, so be careful.

Worth it especially if you’re staying in Bangkok. The private car will fetch you on time outside your designated hotel. Our driver was very friendly. This package already includes the entrance to the zoo. He drove us from hotel to the zoo. By 1:30 to 2 we returned to the parking lot so our driver can drop us off back home. He was accomodating enough to ask where we prefer to be dropped off, and so we asked him to drop us off somewhere else. Thank you so much! Will highly recommend this to my friends!
