Not really, but you can sink your teeth into a real crocodile meal in the food shop there. It really does taste like chicken. You'll enjoy the show.

This was such a disappointing place to visit. The animals there were kept in terrible conditions. Birds in the avery were chained to trees, and animals (even as big as hippos, browns bears) were kept in appallingly small cages. There were no trees or shade in most of the enclosures. My two year old was happy there because he's too... More

The kids thought this was a great place - lots of crocs in pens and a croc show. It is run down and a little shaddy. However, the kids thought it was great - we didn't get to see the whole place but what we did see they really enjoyed. Worth an afternoon out if you want to keep the... More

The zoo has several species of crocodiles, so a visit is at least a bit educational, instead of being limited to throwing pieces of meat to crocodiles or watching some guy sticking his head into the jaws of a crocodile. If you have seen a crocodile farm somewhere else, I do not see a point in making a visit. On... More

Though the farm is mainly to grow crocodiles for their skin (and to some extent meat), the tourist attraction is the show where people wrestle crocs and put themselves in what appears to be great danger by putting their heads in the open mouth of big crocodiles, You can touch a live tiger (probably drugged, certainly not very active or...

It offers a stunning crocodile show in which the performer will put either his head/hand into crododile mouth. Gotta be careful if you accompanying with small children, don't let them unattended otherwise they might fall into the crocodile area

I love this place. Make sure you get here early for a good seat at the crocodile show. We also enjoy buying the chicken carcass at 20Bht each . They are on fishing poles and you feed them to the snapping crocodiles below. Great fun for adults and kids alike.
