Sure, it's depressing compared to a zoo in a wealthy country. But it seems to be the standard for Asia. It's not as post-apocalyptic as many of the reviewers make it out to be. They animals look bored, some elephants are chained on a platform (by one leg, with quite a lot of room) for the safety of tourists that...

Go early to the Zoo, it opens at 8 am and the air is still cool and fresh. Fine plants, old beautiful palms and lakes.
We really could get close to the animals, perhaps a little too close for comfort..you really could scratch the ear of the tiger and lose your hand...but the people were sensible. It was so nice...

My travelling companion and I quite enjoyed getting up close and feeding some of the animals - hippos, elephants. A little bit run down in parts, and some cages were spartan, but overall an enjoyable way to be with Myanmar families on a day out.

Is Singapore zoo great? i think it is too far away from the animals, if i want to feed the giraffs, i just have two chances a day, need to queue in advance and pay US5 or more, and the staffs are always urging you to feed faster. So how about Yangon Zoo? i can feed bascially all animals anytime,...

Although there could be special things for some people at the Yangon Zoo, they did not catch my attention. Its primary attraction for me was the opportunity to watch Myanmar families enjoying the weekend.

The environment and surroundings are wonderful. Its location is quite large, and there are some interesting animals to see there. I understand it's not the best zoo in the world, but for those who live full time in Yangon, it's worthwhile.

I lived and worked in Myanmar for 18 months and I love the people and the culture and the absolutely stunning and amazing sites throughout the country; however, DO NOT go to the Myanmar Zoo (DO NOT take your children there). We love zoos and make a habit of visiting one in every place we travel. The Myanmar zoo is...

My wife and I, along with our friends traveling with us, spent a leisurely afternoon at this zoo. Whilst parts of the zoo are a bit tired, we thoroughly enjoyed the close interaction with the hippos, elephants, otto, etc. It is always nice to be able to get close to the animals and to be able to feed them.
Well...
