Experts' Choice Award Chiang Mai Zoo
What the experts agree on
Sprawling zoo on Doi Suthep's slopes featuring pandas as the main draw, with animals spread across shady woodland paths. Shuttle rides recommended since walking the entire grounds is impractical; great for families.
Lonely Planet "At the foot of Doi Suthep, the Chiang Mai Zoo occupies a lush park setting and boasts a fairly comprehensive assortment of animals plus two special attractions (pandas and an aquarium)." Full review
Fodor's "On the lower slopes of Doi Suthep, this zoo's cages and enclosures are spaced out along paths that wind leisurely through shady woodlands." Full review
Frommer's "Locals love the pandas and they’re the stars of the extensive zoo...the site is too large to see everything by walking so take the shuttles. It makes for a good day out with kids " Full review
