The amazing Phuket Zoo in Phuket

The northern part of Chalong Bay on Phuket Island is the ideal location for the amazing zoo Phuket Zoo. It is worth noting that the zoo in Phuket is quite young, as it was founded in 1997, but this fact does not mean that the animal population leaves much to be desired.

From among the diversity of Phuket’s animal population are tigers, ostriches, monkeys, camels and about 5,000 individuals of crocodiles. Crocodiles in the Phuket Zoo deserve special attention and are of great interest among tourists.

Theatrical shows with the participation of animals, staged almost daily, delight visitors with their colorfulness and uniqueness. A lot of positive and pleasant emotions and vivid memories are the result of visiting such events. It is noteworthy that elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and other animals take part in these kinds of shows. To find out how to get to Phuket Zoo, you should ask the guide or the official website in advance. A map with the location of the zoo will be at the end of the article.

Particularly popular are performances with monkeys among children (read more about holidays in Phuket with a young child), and not only. The real star of the Phuket Zoo is Billy the Orangutan, who can always be photographed with everyone.

The elephant shows are fascinating to small and large spectators alike, with elephants playing soccer in spite of their extraordinarily large size. Curiously enough, the zoo elephants simply love the banana treats that spectators bring them. And a picture on the back of the four-legged giant can decorate your photo album. You can also admire the elephants’ performance at the extravaganza Phuket Fantasia Show.

Rare birds in a separate bird park are the subject of vigilant children’s exploration. Parrots, peacocks, ostriches and many other varieties of the feathered family from around the world amaze zoo visitors, bringing them a lot of positive emotions. Colorful, beautiful, unique and noteworthy in their own way, the birds are abundant in variety, despite the fact that the zoo is private.

Nearby the bird park is an aquarium with just as many fish species from around the world. Crabs, frogs are other inhabitants of the local aquariums.

What else?

The entire area of the zoo is literally buried in the greenery of tropical trees, some of which are quite old. This is largely why reviews of the zoo in Phuket are positive. Some of the trees are very rare and of great importance to the nature of the island. Interesting sculptures in the form of numerous herds of dinosaurs, mythical dragons, sphinxes in miniature – all this serves as an object of special attention not only by young visitors to the zoo.
