Chiang Mai Night Safari

The visit felt like a machine gun firing of events with little break between the shots. For the kids it was amazing and I also felt quite entertained. The safari consists of two different tram rides that are quite nice. Then there are the tiger show and the night predator show. Especially the tiger show is a borderline case of what one can watch when considering ethics and animal healthcare. Wouldn’t come again for that exact reason. However, the kids were well entertained and the evening closed with a fountain show that was quite a friendly highlight. Pricey and no healthy food options available.

I don’t really like going to the zoos (Especially in Thailand). But the Chiang Mai Night Safari really exceeded my expectations and I left the place with satisfaction.

The place is very well organised. The two tram tours are well guided by the safari guides. The safari guides are very knowledgeable. I went on the tram at night and still could see the animals easily with the tram spotlights.

There are 2 animal shows to see. Both were equally entertaining. There is a musical fountain show which should not be missed. Best to see it at night with the lightings. There is a mini dance show which was entertaining too.

What I really appreciate is how they have put some thought to spread out the timings of the shows/trams. The timing of the shows/trams are spread out just nice so that you can have enough time to walk over for the next activity.

I spent 4.5 hours there and overall I really enjoyed my unplanned trip there.

Very beautiful tourist place. Full of greenery and trees. Well organized place and can be one of the best destinations in Chiang Mai. All of the shows was nice and reasonable, not to short and not too long. Need to spend around 4 hours if you need to walk around the lake.

Perfect for family with kids. Small entrance fee if you are Thai.

Shows were great, staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive.

They should have a better way to manage the parking since it's like 10 mins+ walk in the dark from P3,4

The night safari is pretty cool. If you go there, make sure you buy the ticket for the two trams. These are basically the best adventure, especially for the kids. We stayed there for around 4 hours, and the kids were totally happy.

The Night Safari worked out well for us as we were travelling with a 1 year old. Our aim was to get to the zoo at 2.30pm. Go on the tram at 3pm. Watch Tiger show at 3.30pm and another tram ride at 4pm. It worked out so well for us. The weather was cool and made it even more enjoyable. Animals like the giraffes came close to the tram for food and interaction. It was an experience up close. Animals were happy chilling. We ended the zoo with the petting and feeding of the donkeys, baby sheep at 5pm and went off to have our dinner back in the city. Overall super fun and not tiring for both adults and baby. Highly recommended with young children.

Such a fun experience! We were surprised by how much we loved the night safari and how many animals there were.

I visited Chiang Mai Night Safari with two children aged six and eight.
I arrived around 3pm on Friday and showed the staff the tickets I had purchased in advance at Lazada. In Lazada, adult tickets are available for 250 baht and children's tickets for 120 baht. I understand that only locals can use this ticket, and you can enter right away without exchanging tickets.
My family members are foreigners, but we have a Thai driver's license, so they checked our Thai driver's license at the entrance and let us in.
You can look around comfortably because the staff set a schedule based on the time you enter. You can experience horseback riding (100 baht per lap) and feeding (free, but with a tip box) before entering.
The children loved horseback riding and they loved feeding animals.
And inside the zoo, there are places where you can take pictures with animals such as iguanas, snakes and meerkats, so there is a box where you can give tips.
We decided to ride the tram at 6:30 p.m., you first take the tram that sees herbivores and get off and follow people to the place where the staff guides you, you can take the tram that sees carnivores.
The performance at Chiang Mai Night Safari may be a little boring, but the children loved it and it was a satisfying place overall.

We had a great time with our kids (3 and 5 yrs old). Went for the night safari, came to the zoo at around 6:30pm, went straight to the Night animals show, than tiger show and at the end took the 8:30 safari ride. We saw all the animals, our son was lucky to pet a giraffe.

Animals look healthy and their enclosures are spacious and the whole place just has a ‘feels good vibe’. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Price seems fair. You can get really good snack around (we had buns filled with various treats), the whole place is clean, well kept, nice atmosphere… Clean toilets near by each of the strategic sites places.

Overall I can only recommend. We will try to come again during the day as there is more to see then.

TIP: if you are getting there by Bolt (or similar way of transportation) for the night safari, make sure to book a ride back in advance. There are no cars available in the evening. We were lucky our driver told us and picked us up at 9:30 as agreed. I looked and Bolt put of curiosity and really, no availability at all.

We did a take a night safari tour, the guides guys are nice and informative. Impressive tiger show.

Well organised.
Well maintained.
Clean and tidy place.
Big parking area.
Overall it was a memorable experience.

Very nice place. Good price. Well worthwhile visiting
Loudspeakers a bit too loud though

Great tour which should not to be missed. Amazing tour that gives you a chance to get in touch with wild animals.

We did the night safari tram ride and it was a lot of fun! The guides were funny and informative and so entertaining! There were lots of animals and the giraffes came up pretty close which was cool.

The Chiang Mai Night Safari is a great time and you get to see the animals and great shows. Just make sure to pay for the ticket that includes the trams otherwise you don't get to see the shows or the animals. I don't find that it was very well explained.

Good to visit during night safari. Nice staffs and show. Nice experience of night safari

Amazing place to visit with kids as well as single....had a great experience of predators over here. Each and every staff is there to help. Because of their guidance could see all the shows and the tram ride. Keep it up guys. Should visit the place. They have day as well as night Safari.

I will say this for sure... definitely cool and worth it(ish). It is way better than the Chiang Mai Zoo & Aquarium. The animals sometimes get close. Their are programs and shows that will fill your entire evening. Definitely should go right away at 5:30 or 6p if you want to see everything. You will be HUNGRY by the end if you don't eat before.

The Chiang Mai Night Safari is really more of a very big zoo than really a Night Safari Zoo. The zoo is quiet big with a day time walking area that is a bit too big and not that interesting. The two tram rides, about 30min each, are much more interesting. The tram would allow the visitors to feed the animals while looking at the animals close to the tram and at distance. All the hungry animals would walk up to the tram for food. The giraffes eating off your hands would be a fun and exciting experience for everyone. Definitely recommend a visit just for the tram rides and animal feeding. Recommend to leave hotel around 1530 to arrive in time for the Night Predator show at 1630 and the Tiger show at 1730, afterwards than take the tram rides.

You should take ur kids there it’s fun
