Beautiful trees and park. I have been to a lot of zoos and this one has character and is very inexpensive to visit. It was worthwhile to visit as a tourist and I don’t understand the negative reviews. I saw a whole bunch of healthy animals and birds I have never seen before

One of the oldest zoos in the world. The Saigon Zoo and Botanical gardens established in 1864, almost 156 yrs old. This place is a familiar destination for city dwellers.

If you want to see neglected animals in small enclosures with no or stagnant water than this is the place to go!
