Close Encounters with Amazing Animals. Visit Phuket Zoo for an enjoyable and wonderfully different type of zoo. Lush tropical gardens invite you to stroll around in the shade of giant trees across bridges onto islands containing all kinds of strange animals. Be a guest at Phuket Zoo and get a close encounter with an amazing range of animals like thousands of crocodiles, many camels, tigers, ostriches, emus and other rare birds. This is a place that challenges your perceptions of life on earth. The zoo occupies an area of about 30 rai or 12 acres or 5 hectares. The winding paths shaded by many large fig trees (Ficus species) let you wander around in comfort for hours. Crocodile, monkey, and elephant shows are Phuket Zoo's top attractions. When the shows are in action, you will see how intelligent the animals at the zoo are! There is always a big surprise < Back to Attractions
