Khao Kheow Open Zoo

Best place to spend morning time with family. The park is full of green and feels more like in natural surroundings. Shows are in various areas and timings are different so better check in their website for more details. Renting a self-driving golf cart is best option if traveling with family.

Lot of monkey they are run freely around the zoo but they are super cute. And dont forget to watch the free show like penguin and elephant swimming. And here is really clean and the ticket is not expensive.

A nice place to hang out with family and friends. You can encounter animals closely. They have a good variety of animal species.
Renting a golf car which is 2 hours validated is the best choice to move around in the zoo.

Better than Safari World! The golf buggy made it so much more fun and easy to get around the zoo in the heat! Love how some animals can roam around the zoo freely! Very recommended!

Khoa kheow zoo is around 1.5 hours drive from terminal 21 Pattaya. We reached there around 11 o clock. We bought our tickets through klook, for visiting green zone we bought bus ticket which cost around 90 Bhat for 3 PPL.

You can visit zone pink by walk ok golf cart, we opted for golf cart. Here they have lion feeding, and tiger feeding. You can visit pink zone within 2 hours.

In green zone you can feed deer, rhino, hippo, penguin and elephants. But they have specific feeding time for each animals and the charges are extra. Personally we loved penguine and elephant show. Must visit place with kids. You need around 5-6 hours minimum to have a nice time here.

Food are affordable and the toilets are clean.

Very huge open zoo.
I 've visited here once.
Sure most kids are enjoyed looking around animals and feeding them riding a golf cart.
Be careful with wild monkeys, which steal tourist's snacks or beverages.

The swimming elephant is a highlight here!!! He is so cute! The elephant also seems to enjoy swimming too.

Golf car line was super long. If you come during Holidays, it's better to arrive very early to rent the minicar (starting 500 baht per 2 hours) or use 35 baht/person shuttle bus instead. Half of the park where you can't drive your vehicle in consists of all highlights of the park, e.g., swimming elephant, penguin show, deers, Africa zone. Another highlight is tiger zone which you can drive with your vehicle to park there without using the shuttle service.

Good zoo with a deer zone where they walk about freely. Can hire a golf cart to go around the park as well. There are 2 main zones, one where only golf carts are allowed and another where cars are allowed. It's built into a mountain side so you see plenty of nature nearby as well, especially in the driving segment.

Buy the tickets online as it's cheaper for foreigners than buying it there.

Well maintained zoo. Awesome penguins show. The white lion and tiger are majestic. You have to take a car or you can rent a chair car to travel within the zoo. The entrance fee is 250/person.

Spacious place If you walk around looking at the animals, it takes some time. If you can walk, you don't need to rent a golf cart. If the weather is too hot, traveling may not be fun. There is a Thai coffee shop. The place is not very run down. quite original I went there 4-5 years ago and everything was pretty much the same. It is a very large zoo. And there are many types of animals. Both animals in Thailand and from many foreign countries, the zoo has services Tourist trams, golf cart rentals, electric trains because the zoo area is quite large.
If possible, I would like to go again if I have the opportunity. The little ones are very cute. If you go, you have to prepare all your equipment and faint because the weather is quite hot. Sometimes it's stuffy.

One of the best zoo I've been so far! Do go and visit. We took a buggy to travel around the open zoo. Really fun! I really love the lemur. They all super friendly.

Nice place to bring the kids. Highly recommend to get a cart and drive by yourself.

The animals looking overall good and in healthy condition (from what I saw in front).

+ if you are on a work permit, you pay the Thai entry fee 👍

I came here in the morning on the weekend. There weren't many people in the morning. Entry price is 250 baht for adults. If you come to Thailand, you should definitely come here. There are many animals inside. You feel very close to them as it is open zoo. You also have the chance to feed many animals. I fed an elephant and it was very enjoyable. There are also wild monkeys as it is an open zoo. You should pay attention to these. They can harm you or steal your belongings. Since the zoo is very large, I definitely recommend renting a golf cart. Not too expensive just 500 baht. 4 people can use it.

A very nice zoo. The monkeys walk around the park. It is very pleasing to the eye. It was disappointing to see that in part of the trip there were some cages that were a little empty. The advantage is that there are many food stalls throughout the park.

Great place for kids! Golf buggy rental is a must! Don’t think you can walk it, unless you are an endurance athlete

Perfect place! You can rent a golf car if you want to see all the animals.

Reasonable prices
Thai 200 Baht
Non Thai 350 Baht
Interesting Animals, clean cheap make to order food and noodles shop.

Highly recommend renting your own buggy 500 THB and discover the zoo in the most exciting and convenient way. Before entering the zoo's big entrance, turn left and walk 2 minutes to the buggy station. The zoo is huge, walking is abit too much as there are many slopes, or you can take the public tram which runs very often. Many families ride the buggy with grandparents and kids, it is very adorable and fun. The animals here seem to be well taken care of as I noticed their living spaces are well built, clean and spacious. If you're on your way to Pattaya, this place is definitely worth a visit for 2hrs. There are many fast foods and refreshment stations inside with reasonable prices. There is a 7Eleven at the entrance. Easy to find toilets also, no tissue. Best to visit right after opening hrs to avoid the long queue at the buggy rental. You will need to deposit your ID for the buggy, and abit of good driving skill is highly recommended.

Awesome place to spend half a day of so! Make sure you rent a golf cart as the park it's quite big. It doesn't worth spending too much time on watching penguin show unless you want to try feeding them.
