I visited phuket zoo, with a group of friends in march, I was told before we went it was a bit of a eye opener, by friends that had been before,on arrival there were heaps of Thai school groups, and the kids were having a blast. the zoo in a whole did smell. but that is what you could expect...

Expensive & horrible,Elephants chained,bears in a concrete hole,crocodiles with very little water and no shade. horrible place . AVOID.

We went to the Phuket zoo and was disappointed to see how dirty the place was. You can hardly see some of the animals or birds in the cages because of weeds/bushes/trees overgrowing the place and restrict your view. The elephants have chains around their legs, a bitter sight! We wanted to see the tiger, which we did and had... More

Overpriced, dirty, smelly, dark and full of barbaric treatment of these poor animals. I was shocked that Thai people could treat animals in a such a hideous manner.

We went to the Phuket Zoo in April this year. It certainly is hands on with animals from monkeys to tigers they were all able to be touched. Certainly a unique experience for children and adults. With lots of photo opportunity available for a small cost. So take money with you. All is not free there. Yes it has some... More

Visited on the 5/5/2012 I felt so sad for these poor animals every review on here is 100% true. I wish I had read them first and wished I never had gone. Animals kept in small concrete cages with no plants, some just had mud to stand in. Emus had pulled out all their feathers and saw a bird with... More
