    Pre warned is pre armed.. This is an average animal collection and entertainment venue. With an expensive entry price. Ignoring the animal liberation stuff and the usual hype, it's a collection of caged or restricted animals that are used to entertain the public. By Asian and Thailand standards it's not fantastic. But no cruelty is used that I saw. The web, including Trip Advisor says 500 baht entry fee. Its 1,500 for adults. Its 1,200 for children. This now includes photos when you enter and the right to take photos of some of the exhibit animals. The performing monkey (singular) is worth a miss. The crocodile show will one day take and arm or head off. Some huge angry crocodiles here. The elephant show is two animals that spin hoops and kick a ball. Plus take currency notes off you at the end with their trunk. The tiger photo opportunity is also very lame.. Real tiger, just appeared very docile. About two to three hours tops. BTW Thais or anyone who lives here with a thai license and address can get in for 100 baht.. yes that's right.

    0/5, 0/5 and 0/5 you paid 1500 bath to see a zoo in condition of deplorable cleanliness. Very horrible place. We cannot understand how this zoo his still open. Please don't give us money. All animals are maltreated. Water of Crocodile not cleaned. A lot of place with waste odor

    Appalling. Sad. Miserable. Animal suffering on display. This Zoo bought me to tears. HELL ON EARTH FOR THESE ANIMALS. Putrid enclosures, elephants chained and swaying, a drugged tiger tugged to sit up to "pose" for photos....starving animals, injured animals, putrid water. Just an absolute hell hole for these animals. Avoid Phuket Zoo, don't support it and don't pay for animal cruelty!

    I believe this Zoo is a scam, entrance fee for foreigners/tourists are so expensive(even the zoo in my country or any other country for that matter, does not cost that much) and yet the zoo itself is so rundown with the animals are NOT well treated, so sad to see those animals were treated that way. For those who are planning to come down to Phuket Zoo, please think twice! Not worth the experience.

    Avoid! Dirty, terribly maintained. Only go for the shows - but they are more cruel than fun. Watch your step, all pathways are in terrible shape. Best thing - we found the tiger enclosure at the end - tigers are hungry and walking quickly around. Their loud growls were scary, never been so impressed by tigers before. The best thing that could happen here would be if the tigers got out, scared the staff away and they would close this place down. As of October 2018, they raised prices to 1500 adult / 1200 kids, adding "ripoff" to the list of negatives.

    This is not a zoo how I wanna see it. Tiger in Chains. So sad. How can they do that. I can't belive this is allowed in here and I absolutely don't recommended to come here. Don't support that! It's just brutal. They don't threat them animals well

    Stupid place which preys on foreigners. The tickets for foreigners are 15 times more expensive than for locals. This place will only appeal to those who want to check out how a zoo would look like after a nuclear apocalypse.

    I rated 2 stars because I'm Thai and I can get in with Thai people's price, which is very very low compared to the foreigner price. If I'm foreigner I would definitely rated 1 star because I'm sure it's not worth the foreigner price. It is a old zoo without a proper maintenance.

    Not a well looked after zoo. I understand why with so many other live animal attractions nearby. It needs some serious refurbishment. It's not cheap either at 1500 BAHT per entry ticket. Has a couple of live shows which were ok.

    Need to find my review again. Was the wrong zoo. Endless animal cruelty. We didn't even wait until the performance. The elephants were on short chains. The birds are in cages that are far too small, completely sick and miserable. The whole park was totally run down and dirty. You can look at and touch some things but oh well. a matter of taste

    Wonderful place for family and kids. Expensive but all photos were included in our tickets. Rainy season is the best in the Zoo speacially a raining day.

    Entry to this place should be taken before hand from a travel agent or one of the million agents on the streets of Phuket. When you reach there on the spot it would cost approx 1000 baht per adult which didn’t look worth it at all. Outside you would get the same at 200-300 baht per adult. From outside it didn’t look very maintained and at that price it didn’t feel worth it. If you have kids maybe you could give it a look, but avoidable in my view.

    This place should have been closed down for ages. Animals are kept in terrible condition. Recently someone tried to help those poor animals since they have not been fed and got arrested.

    Faded zoo suffering from lack of investment- Monkey show was fun- elephant show perhaps not so much joy when you see them tethered to a concrete post and standing on concrete- crocodile show was scary.

  • 1/5 Kanzeone A. 4 years ago on Google
    Pricey for a zoo! 1500 Thai Baht per person, 1200 Thai Baht for a child. I refused to see a zoo for $50 which is crazy! Unless they have mermaids, talking elephants and flying tigers even so there is so much things you can do with $50! Rip off! Don’t come here and waste your time!

  • 3/5 Екатерина �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Compared to the Khao Kheo Zoo in Pattaya, the Phuket Zoo is a rather sad sight, and over the years there have been no changes for the better ... Five years ago it was already quite neglected and dirty, but the animals were quite peppy, there were a lot of them and if we ignore neglect, then walk-see is quite interesting for yourself. The crocodile show was not impressed: the crocodiles are inhibited, some. I would like to hope that nevertheless the zoo will be put in order and the living conditions of animals will be improved. (Original) По сравнению с зоопарком Кхао Кхео в Паттайе, зоопарк Пхукета представляет из себя довольно печальное зрелище, причем с годами изменений в лучшую сторону не происходит... Лет пять назад он уже был достаточно запущенным и грязным, но животные были довольно бодрые, их было много и если абстрагироваться от запущенности, то походить-посмотреть вполне себе интересно. Шоу крокодилов не впечатлило: крокодилы заторможенные, какие-то. Хочется надеяться, что все же зоопарк приведут в порядок, улучшат условия проживания животных.
