Ha Noi Zoo, in Ba Dinh district, Ha Noi, was recognised as a tourist site according to a recent decision approved by the Ha Noi city People’s Committee. The decision also announced that Ha Noi Zoo Co. Ltd has responsibilities to manage and develop the site in accordance with the Law on Tourism and related legal documents. Established in 1976, Ha Noi Zoo, also known as Thu Le Park, covers around 29 hectares in Ngoc Khanh ward. It is home to 600 individuals of over 100 species including amphibians, saltwater fishes, mammals, and birds. More than 40 species among them are endemic species which are listed in the Vietnam’s Red Book, such as the Asian golden cat, Indochinese tiger, leopard, and Vietnamese fireback. Ha Noi Zoo joined the South East Asian Zoos Association in 1993 and has expanded its cooperation with many zoos and other wildlife conservation organisations around the world. It opens for the public from 8:00 to 18:00 every day.

You know: a zoo should guaranty the best animal care, good enclosures and must do a lot of conservation work. Here I'm shocked. I myself work in a good zoo and we work hard and try our best to provide the animals with all we can and tell people about conservation and so we keep a genetic pool from animals who are already or might be in the future endangered or even extinct in the wild. To make Sure the species survive and can be reinteoduced to their natural habitat in the future when habitats are safe and people start to think differently (like in Vietnam). The primates are also - I don't even know how describe this horror. But Hanoi zoo; it is not a zoo, not a modern zoo, it is keeping animals for what reason ever. And the worst, they do a bad job. I have seen a lot, but this shocks me. Elephants with stereotypic behavior in chains, the cages from lions, bears, tigers and small carnivores are indescrible. Please, if you want to go - do not! And like I seid, I'm working in a zoo myself. Government has to react and start to change their own thinking first. Animals here are really not worth more than a potato.

Genuinely deserves no stars, the most horrific thing I have seen in my entire life, I have no idea how the heck this place is allowed to remain open.. the conditions these animals are living in is disgusting, most animals are sick, stressed, depressed and exhibiting signs of zoochosis. The enclosures are ridiculously tiny, little or no room to move around, no forms of enrichment, no food and minimal or dirty water available. The poor monkeys are literally begging for food, and there are rats everywhere including in the enclosures, the poor hippos eye was infectwd, the elephants are chained up unable to even move, animals are pacing and rocking back and forth. This place is a cruel prison and I have never felt so disgusted and heartbroken. It is beyond me how this place hasn't been closed down and how no one has stepped up to give these animals a better life or atleast put them out of this torment. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!!!!

Horrible, horrible place. It’s only good as an illustration of prison. If you want to teach your kids animal cruelty, violence and heartlessness - that’s the place to visit Of course I didn’t expect to see African safari, but Jesus Christ neither I expected to see such a horror being exposed publicly as a local attraction Chained elephants, tiger going back n forth in a cage, hippo that barely fits in a pool, zebra - who is born to run- is being placed in 100m2 cage, large parrots and eagles that can’t fly, ostriches with skinny legs as they have no space to any physical activity. And it goes on and on. The only species that has enough food and space are rats, they are everywhere Disaster. Definitely do not recommend. Moreover I wish with all my heart such places will vanish one day

Terrible animal welfare standards. Enclosures small, dirty and poorly maintained. Elephants chained to the spot in their enclosure. No visible enrichment for the animals. Rabbits 2 to a cage in a cage which was less than 1m long and 50cm high and wide and with no visible water supply. This was on a day which was 32 degrees in the shade and they were clearly suffering. The tiger was pacing up and down in its cage which was clearly too small for it. The toilets were filthy and some stalls had no doors. The paths have not been maintained and though there are some nice trees and vegetation paths wound under them are very broken up. There are a lot of fun fair amusement rides we did not try them. We did try the inflatable balls that go on the lake and the kids did enjoy that.

Compared to many zoos we've visited the animals are in small inadequate enclosures. However, we knew not to expect a western-type zoo with lots of resources. We spoke to an (English) animal welfare officer we met who was doing an inspection and heard that they are trying to gradually improve things, which is positive. We did see some interesting animals, including elephants, tigers, asiatic bears, porcupines, monkeys and exotic birds, although there are no snakes or other reptiles. There are also lots of fairground type rides, really for under sixes. Cost 10,000 dong pp.
