Saigon Zoo And Botanical Garden

Originally a botanical garden representing a diverse green ecosystem the site is now divided into a zoo area, ornamental plants and orchids, and a play area for all ages.

One of the highlights of the park that is suitable for families with younger children is that there is a tram to visit the whole botanical garden.
