The zoo is huge
Awsome
Good to strawl around but less animals than used to be. No elephants, no hippos, no camels
nice
We've definitely seen much worse in Asia. The old part is interesting, it's oblivious they are making an effort at upgrading this place around the bears and monkeys. Probably three star, but I give one extra for their efforts. Easily visited between Vang Vieng and Vientiane, if you have your own (hired) transport.
It's only one zoo in Lao but not much animal anymore! the managing of the zoo is not professional including the walk way to visit each cage of animal now almost collapsed
Poor management
This place is very great for visiting for all lover animals. There are many animals to make you feel happy.
for green n animals
Lots of animals to see up close and personal. We were told the elephants don't come out till 4:00. Don't know if that is every day or not. There is no map to be had, and the paths meander making the zoo seem larger than it is. I recommend downloading the map from the visitor info page of the zoo website. Regardless, it was a beautiful and pleasant, well shaded walk, which was nice after a ~2 hour van ride from Vientiane. I think it is worth it. A local helped us book a minivan for $55. A tour company was asking $140 for a big van. Just FYI. We left Vientiane at 8:15, arrived at the zoo at 10, spent 3 hours walking around (little kids move slow). There is a shuttle bus that goes around the zoo, stopping at various stations. We will probably reach Vientiane around 4 pm. So it is an all day trip. Cheers.
Is a good place to see
