Nice place if your purpose is not to visit a great sightseeing but just walk. It’s pretty big and nice as well as old and you’ll feel this everywhere inside :) as tickets are really cheap you can have a good time here but there won’t be anything special.

The Saigon Zoo (or Zoological and Botanical Gardens) left a very pleasant impression. The enclosures themselves, to be honest, are already a bit outdated, and fans of modern European zoos may find it a little cramped here. But this place is worth a visit for the very special atmosphere. We got there on a weekend, and it was a real celebration of the locals. The park area turned into a huge recreation area: Vietnamese families spread mats on lawns everywhere, hiding in the dense shade of ancient trees. If you want to see the real Ho Chi Minh City and understand how the locals escape from the heat and spend time with their family, go here. Quite a lot of animals, reptiles, butterflies, tropical plants, bansai and skeletons! We have never seen so many skeletons of representatives of the animal world before. And some more interesting facts for which it is worth visiting this place.: ·1️⃣8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣ One of the oldest in the world: It is one of the 8 oldest zoos on the planet, being a living monument to the history of the colonial era. · 🦒The largest in Vietnam: It is the largest zoo and botanical garden in the country, often referred to as the "green lungs" of Ho Chi Minh City. ·🌱A unique botanical garden: In addition to animals (more than 2000 individuals of 135 species), there is a huge collection of plants: about 2500 trees (some more than 100 years old) and over 900 species of flora, including rare orchids and cacti.

The zoo is very interesting, at first glance it doesn't seem big... but we were three hours short! The animals are in good condition! The territory is large, lots of greenery, flowers, ponds ... you can sit on benches and watch the animals! It's a very atmospheric place! I recommend you to visit
